MEET RESHMA THAKKAR

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
-Mahatma Gandhi

Reshma’s journey began in Southwest Michigan, half a world away from the rich culture and deep-seated traditions of India. Despite the distance, her heritage shaped her personality and colored her life, ingraining a deep appreciation for the world and people around her.

Throughout her education and career, including a degree in Health Administration and a high-powered position as an IT consultant, Reshma continued to pursue her love of exploration. To-date, she has visited over 40 foreign countries, and embarks on new adventures as often as possible.

Her deep love for India brought to light its immense beauty, as well as the profound suffering many endure from the negative impacts of poverty and outdated cultural practices. She founded Made with a Purpose to provide girls and women in India with empowerment, education, and economic stability.

It was along this journey that Reshma was summoned with an inexplicable, deep desire to return to her homeland, India. She made the bold decision to take a three month sabbatical from her successful career to journey overseas alone. What followed would eventually lead to her being featured on the groundbreaking television event, Belief, produced by Oprah Winfrey.

Reshma has since been featured on OWN, MSNBC, Yahoo, The Huffington Post, Variety, and other major publications. She has utilized this opportunity to launch the Belief Explorer Quest with featured guests such as Mastin Kip, Don Miguel Ruiz, Arielle Ford, Marianne Williamson, Danielle LaPorte, and more. Reshma cites the Belief Explorer Quest as one of her greatest accomplishments, helping to replicate the journey of wonder and self discovery in the lives of thousands of people across the world.
