Hi, I’m Yashshvi-Anytime you feel you want to just sit under the stars, discuss about life, deep philosophical things, talk to me about health or want a companion for a jog, workout, I’m your girl next door!

Growing up in a middle class family, I never learned the importance of a balanced diet or how much is too much! Along with this added pressure of getting good grades made it worse for me! Luckily I could complete my studies from one of the best Engineering & MBA colleges in Mumbai (yes I am a Post Grad)

Then came the pressure of competing with colleagues to get promotion, I worked round the clock, got the promotion but traded my health for this! All of this, I did wholeheartedly but not passionately, I always felt I do not belong to a corporate!

Then came the worse time of Covid, when my family and I was hit in the worst way possible! My Dad got diagnosed with cancer, mom with clinical depression & I already had PCOD. The reason of this situation was clear-our lack of Ignorance! This made me realise, what are we chasing in life? And for what? We are so busy in chasing life goals that our health is on a standby! Soon I took the charge, started working on myself! Got certified as Clinical Nutritionist and started understanding the grim reality of India’s Health (mine included) I realised as a Nutritionist I can only cater to few people who approach me for health advice! What about the rest of India? How can I work for them. Also, I am a hardcore social worker and throughout these years-I did work for many NGOs for different purposes. But still something felt incomplete! What I can do on a national level which will bring an impact In India-which will truly make me feel I did something that will remain with the people, not just monetary help or buying things!

This thought led to the birth of Nlit-Nutrition Literacy. This is our attempt to work for the Nation in a way that we bring to your attention India’s health literacy, our connection with food, our understanding of our body! And work passionately to build a community of Nlit which will be critical, mindful of their choices and at the same time also create Leaders for future Generations!
