Meera Gandhi, CEO and founder of The Giving Back Foundation was featured on the cover of March 2024’s edition of New York Lifestyles Magazine.

In the feature article, Meera Gandhi spoke of the many mental wellness initiatives of the Giving Back Foundation including the weekly video podcast, 3 Tips, offering solutions on a variety of modern-day challenges we face, with tools to live a more positive worry-free life. On the magazine cover, Meera says, “We all need love and kindness to thrive.” 

Her 3 Tips Instagram series has been revived and most recently her new book 3 Tips: The Essentials to Peace, Joy and Success (published by Rupa India), has soared to #3 on the Indian bookseller chart!

On Thursday, April 4th a magazine cover party was held in NYC where 200 of Meera’s closest friends were invited to celebrate Meera and each other. Seen at the celebration were Steven and Kimberly Rockefeller, New York Deputy Mayor Dilip Chauhan, Akaki Gochava, Timur Jorin, Gloria Starr Kins, Kamlesh Mehta, Neeta Bhasin (founder of Diwali at Times Square), Fern Mallis (founder of Fashion Week), Kunal Sood (CEO Deepak Chopra Foundation), celebrity photographer Neil Tandy, R. Couri Hay, Anna Rothschild, Juliet Hanlon, designer Helen Yarmak, David Hrysk, Indu Jaiswal, and the list goes on…

The theme of the evening the work undertaken by Meera Gandhi and the Giving Back Foundation. For more than a quarter of a century Meera and the Foundation have provided educational opportunities and grants to empowerment. Her vision now is mental wellness initiatives to heal all lives.

During the evening it was suggested that The Giving Back Foundation is in talks with the New York City Mental Wellness Department of the Mayor’s office to introduce some wide sweeping legislature in schools to enable mental wellness support in the form of yoga, meditation, and talks warning of the dangers of bullying and destructive behaviors.

Indeed, it’s a beautiful brave new world Meera Gandhi is working towards with the support of all! Meera is living up to her motto, “We are to the universe only as much as we give back to it!”
