Our Story

The Story Behind Counsel India: A Movement Born from Purpose, Not Just a Business

In 2016, in the heart of India, a seed was planted — not in a boardroom, but in the corridors of schools, the classrooms of universities, and the untouched corners of villages. It was here that Mr. Bobby Thakur, a young psychologist from a humble middle-class background, began offering free mental health awareness programs — without expecting a single rupee in return.

No grand funding. No team. Just a vision.

A vision to change the way India understands psychology — not just as a subject, but as a solution to everyday life challenges.

He called it Counsel India.

What began from the basement of a rented flat, with a few volunteers and handwritten brochures, soon evolved into one of India's most impactful psychology education ecosystems.

But this wasn't just about education. This was about transformation.

🎯 Why We Exist: Beyond Learning, Toward Lasting Social Impact

Yes, on the surface, we offer psychology learning programs — diplomas, masterclasses, skill certifications.

But dig deeper, and you'll see: we are a movement.

A movement designed to improve the quality of people's lives — through the power of psychology, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness.

From Teacher Training to Counseling Master Programs, every initiative at Counsel India echoes a deeper purpose — to make mental health and emotional wellness accessible, actionable, and aspirational.

The Turning Point: When Psychology Met Purpose

In a quiet spiritual retreat in 2016, Bobby crossed paths with a fellow changemaker. A shared passion for holistic growth and social upliftment sparked something deeper. They joined hands — and from that moment, what was once a solo mission turned into an unstoppable revolution.

They believed in one mantra:

"GYAN" (knowledge) has the power to transform your entire life.

Because when you understand psychology, you don't just learn — you evolve. You don't just get degrees — you gain clarity, confidence, and control over your emotions.

From Rejection to Revolution: The Grit Behind the Growth

The journey wasn't easy. Rejections were common. Doubts were louder than support. But the mission never wavered.

Working from a small basement, they faced power cuts, zero marketing budgets, and more "no"s than "yes"s — but what they had was belief.

Today, that belief has created:

🔹 10,000+ Certified Counsellors
🔹 2,00,000+ lives transformed
🔹 A global alumni community in over 15 countries
🔹 A government-supported mission that aligns with MEPSE and Skill India initiatives

Be it a mother learning child psychology to raise emotionally strong kids, a teacher improving classroom dynamics, or a professional unlocking leadership through emotional intelligence — each one walks out more aware, empowered, and unstoppable.

Because we believe — a nation can only rise when its people are emotionally resilient.
