Avneet Ghai Sahni is the Founding Member and Head of International Business at TalkItOut, driven by a deeply personal mission: to ensure that no one feels unheard, unseen, or alone in their mental health journey. With a strong background in communications, content, and digital strategy, Avneet has worked as a Communications Officer at GS Live Ltd, Business Development & Account Manager at Everymedia, and as Head of Content at BookMyShow. These roles shaped her ability to create meaningful conversations through powerful storytelling, social media, and strategic communication — skills she now channels into building awareness and accessibility around mental wellbeing. A mother of twins, Avneet understands first-hand the emotional and mental load modern parents carry, especially when navigating early childhood challenges and the pressures of doing everything “right.” Her own experience of studying abroad gave her a deep understanding of the cultural shifts, isolation, and identity challenges that international students and young adults often face today. These lived experiences inspired Avneet to co-create TalkItOut — a platform rooted in the belief that early intervention, safe conversations, and being truly heard can change the trajectory of mental health for individuals and families. Her vision is simple yet powerful: To normalise asking for help, remove the stigma around mental health, and make support accessible before people reach their breaking point. “No one should have to struggle in silence. Being heard, early, can change everything.”
