Mpower, an initiative of the Aditya Birla Education Trust (ABET), founded by Mrs. Neerja Birla, participated in the Tata Mumbai Marathon Dream Run for the third consecutive year in 2025, bringing together over 1,100 enthusiastic participants to raise awareness about mental health. The event saw strong support from Aditya Birla Group (ABG) employees and senior leaders. The event also marks a significant milestone for Mpower, celebrating its ninth anniversary of dedicated service in improving mental health access and fostering a more inclusive society.

With 1 in 7 Indians affected by mental health issues, yet only 10% of those in need seeking help due to stigma, misconceptions, and limited resources, Mpower’s participation underscores the urgent need to break the stigma surrounding mental health. The Tata Mumbai Marathon provides an invaluable platform to raise awareness, particularly among the younger generation, who represent the future of India. Mpowers message is clear: mental health is as important as physical health and deserves equal attention and care.

The 1,100 participants in the Dream Run included students from various schools and colleges in Mumbai, volunteers, and employees of Aditya Birla Education Trust and Aditya Birla Group companies. Ms Parveen Shaikh, President of Mpower, who led the charge at the marathon, stated, “Mental health remains an underserved issue, but it is critical to the well-being of individuals and society. Under the visionary Guidance of Mrs. Neerja Birla Mpower has been working relentlessly to break the stigma surrounding mental health. The Tata Mumbai Marathon provides us with a powerful platform to ignite meaningful conversations and connect with the wider public, especially the youth. We are committed to building mental health champions who spread the message that seeking help is a sign of strength. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that mental health support is accessible, affordable and free from stigma


As part of Mpower’s ongoing efforts to offer tangible support, Mpower’s flagship 24×7 toll-free helpline, Mpower 1on1 Let’s Talk (1800-120-820050), offers immediate, bilingual assistance from trained psychologists to anyone in need. This helpline has been a vital resource for individuals facing mental health challenges, providing guidance and intervention whenever required with the mission to #StampOutStigma surrounding mental health.
