From Starting a Business as a College Student to Being Featured in Vogue with BIPOC Co-Founder of Now&Me & Forbes 30 Under 30 Lister, Bani Singh

When it comes to picking a career, our choice can often be traced back to the influence of family. It was the gentle encouragement of her parents to pursue what fulfilled her internally that helped this week’s guest find her calling. It’s that calling — to give back and make a difference — that has Bani Singh on a mission to revolutionize the way we approach mental health care.
In this episode of PEERS, we’re joined by Bani Singh, Co-Founder of Now&Me to talk about saying goodbye to external validation, finding the right time to take your side hustle full-time, and how to get comfy with the wild ride that is entrepreneurship.
Bani Singh:
Despite not initially harboring a childhood affinity for entrepreneurship, this week’s guest has her parents to thank for the gentle nudge in the right direction. It was also her parents who instilled in her the importance of embracing an internally-driven approach to life. Bani Singh would carry this lesson through her youth, her values taking a pivotal turn as she found her identity constantly drawn to and intertwined with the concept of making a difference.
With giving back at the cornerstone of her character, it makes sense that Bani would go on to co-found Now&Me, an India-based social media platform that helps people seeking mental health support. This Forbes 30 Under 30 Lister’s journey embodies her commitment to leveraging entrepreneurship for the betterment of others, showcasing her evolution from grounded college student to a compassionate entrepreneur revolutionizing the approach to mental health care.
