Let’s make this world a kinder place

Hello there! My name is Indu. People now identify me as that Kintsugi girl and I am based out of Chennai, India.

I started Project Kintsugi in February 2019, just a few months after my divorce, when I was looking for a new purpose in life. 

When I turned 30, I shared a post on Instagram about being 30, single & depressed. So many women could relate to it. What started as an experience sharing initiative, became a support group overnight. This is also when I realized that so many people around me were also going through challenges in life and my post made them (and me!) realize that we are not alone. 

Just a month after that I did my first ever meet & greet for women dealing with divorce and mental health issues. That’s when it all started, I had about 6-8 participants, two single mothers exchanged numbers to be friends and someone left me a note thanking me for creating a platform where she could talk about her divorce without her tearing up. 

In July 2019, I added domestic violence as a part of the support group after I posted about my lived experience through it and opened my inbox to others with similar stories. 

Almost 4 years later, now we are now a community of 1300+ women, we have a Telegram group, a Facebook private group and chat rooms for women from across the world to connect with each other.
