Press Release Overview

On Wednesday, August 26, 2026, Mpower – the mental‑health initiative of the Aditya Birla Education Trust (ABET) – announced the launch of its “Coffee & Conversations” series at in good co’s flagship café in GK2, Delhi. The event, branded under the platform Mpowered Voices, is designed to move mental‑health dialogue from formal settings into everyday social spaces where people naturally gather.

Event Details

The gathering brought together diverse participants for an intimate exchange on emotional wellbeing, mental health, and personal experiences that are often hard to articulate. Organisers emphasized that the café environment creates a safe, natural space for sharing, listening, and connecting, thereby normalising conversations around mental wellbeing.

Statements from Leadership

  • Amit Gupta, CFO of Mpower (Aditya Birla Education Trust), stated that stigma is a major barrier to seeking help and that real‑life stories shared in casual settings can make mental‑health issues feel less isolating and more acceptable. He highlighted that moving these talks to a café is a step toward integrating mental‑health discussions into daily life rather than limiting them to crisis moments.
  • Udai Pinnali, CEO of Aditya Birla New Age Hospitality, explained that coffee serves as a catalyst for connection and aligns with in good co’s brand belief in “Progressive Indianness.” He noted that the partnership helps create an inclusive space where young Indians can discuss topics traditionally considered difficult, reinforcing the brand’s mission to foster community support.
