Hi There! I'm Anvita Gowda,

A passionate advocate for mental health and well-being, with a strong background in sports and education. My journey is encapsulated by the word Vikara, meaning "transformation." This concept captures the heart of my experiences through swimming and mental health, highlighting the changes I've faced—both in the water and within myself. As a former competitive swimmer and team captain, I channeled my love for the water into empowering children, particularly those with special needs, through therapeutic swim programs.

Swimming pushed me to my limits, but it was the mental battles where I truly learned to grow. Vikara reflects how I’ve evolved from chasing medals to understanding my own mind, finding resilience in the face of struggle. My experiences volunteering at organizations like Aqualiners have shaped my aspiration to pursue a career in child psychiatry and neuropsychology, where I aim to make a positive impact on young lives. I believe in the power of personalized support and the transformative potential of education and physical activity. Ultimately, my journey is about healing, embracing challenges, and realizing that transformation is a constant part of life—guiding me toward strength and self-discovery.
