Kompal Verma
Founder of Aura Social Foundation
I moved to Australia in 2011, stepping into a life shaped by two worlds — Australian and Indian. Living between these cultures didn’t just shape my identity, it gave me a deeper understanding of connection, belonging, and what it truly means to feel seen.
From a young age, I have always been deeply connected to people. I was naturally drawn to emotions, to listening, to understanding what often goes unspoken. Through my own experiences and the stories of those around me, I began to learn — not just about life, but about mental health, resilience, and the quiet strength people carry every day. These lessons stayed with me and slowly became a part of who I am.
In 2020, when I sought therapy myself, I came face to face with a gap. The support available did not always reflect my cultural reality or fully understand my perspective. Instead of stepping back, this moment became a turning point — it pushed me to learn more, to question more, and to explore what truly inclusive and meaningful support could look like.
My journey has not been simple or linear. Moving between India and Australia, navigating different cultural expectations, and growing through my own personal challenges shaped my perspective in a profound way. It gave me clarity — not just about my own path, but about the kind of impact I wanted to create.
As I reconnected more deeply with my parents, I began to see their journey with new eyes — their silent struggles, their strength, and the lack of spaces where they could truly be understood. In that moment, everything became clearer. I knew where I needed to begin.
For years, I carried a vision — not loud, but constant. A vision of creating something meaningful. A space built on warmth, respect, and genuine human connection.
Aura Social Foundation is the realisation of that vision. It is the first step in something much greater — a movement toward creating spaces where people feel safe, supported, and truly heard.
This is just the beginning. And it is built with intention, purpose, and a deep commitment to grow, reach more lives, and create something that truly makes a difference.
