Hi I'm

Janvi Sikaria

"Balance Is The New Green" is a deeply personal initiative - it’s my attempt at creating a space to help people in their journey from feeling stuck or hurting to healing and transforming.

You might also know me as the co-founder of Burger Bae (as seen on Shark Tank India S4) or as a content creator with a community of 100K+ people across Instagram, LinkedIn & YouTube.

But before all this, I was just a 14 year old girl battling clinical depression and anxiety. I failed my 10th standard, cried myself to sleep, and believed nothing would ever change until meeting my therapist gave me hope.

That single moment didn’t just save and change my life, it ignited my love for understanding and studying the mental health space deeply. And now, that same love has led me to create Balance Is The New Green.

Today, I’m someone who has hit rock bottom and come back stronger - just because I got the right kind of help from my therapist when I needed it the most. From a teenager struggling with depression to becoming a TEDx speaker, being on MTV, becoming a Shark Tank backed entrepreneur and now a trained mental health professional supporting others - I’ve learned transformation isn’t a dream, but it’s invevitable when you get access to the right kind of support. And that taking care of your mind isn’t weakness, it’s power.
