Hello Mumbai News
Could you Introduce yourself for our readers?
Priyanka Shah
I am Priyanka Shah, a passionate seeker of wisdom and a firm believer in the philosophy that “Life isn’t about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself.” My journey is one of continuous learning, self-discovery, and transformation. With a Master’s degree in Management Studies (MMS in Finance) from Mumbai University, I have expanded my expertise beyond finance into holistic sciences, education, and cognitive development. As the founder of Brain Power Classes, I have designed transformative programs like Midbrain Activation Workshops and D.M.I.T Counseling to help individuals unlock their hidden potential. My mission is to empower minds, enhance learning abilities, and foster personal growth, making a lasting impact on society.
Hello Mumbai News
What was your key driving force to choose this profession/business or to become an entrepreneur?
Priyanka Shah
The desire to empower individuals—especially young minds—led me to this path. I strongly believe that education and cognitive development go hand in hand with emotional and spiritual well-being. Through my journey in holistic sciences and neuro-cognitive development, I realized that traditional learning methods often miss out on nurturing a child’s true potential. This realization inspired me to establish Brain Power Classes, where I help children and adults enhance their memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills, ultimately transforming their approach to learning and personal growth.
Hello Mumbai News
Why did you choose this name for your startup?
Priyanka Shah
The name Brain Power Classes was chosen because it perfectly aligns with my vision—enhancing the power of the brain through innovative techniques. The brain is the most powerful tool we possess, and my mission is to unlock its full potential. Whether it’s through Midbrain Activation, Rubik’s Cube training, or Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), my goal is to strengthen cognitive abilities and self-awareness in every individual who joins my programs.

Through workshops like Midbrain Activation, D.M.I.T Counseling, Rubik’s Cube training, and cognitive development sessions, I help individuals enhance their memory, focus, and intuitive abilities. These programs are especially beneficial for students struggling with concentration and confidence, as well as professionals looking for mental clarity and emotional balance. Additionally, my expertise in healing modalities such as Reiki, Tarot Reading, and Bach Flower Remedy provides holistic solutions for emotional well-being. People can benefit from my sessions by gaining self-awareness, improving their problem-solving skills, and unlocking their hidden potential.

The idea for Brain Power Classes came from my deep interest in cognitive sciences, holistic healing, and education.

Through research and experience, I found that techniques like Midbrain Activation, NLP, and specialized cognitive exercises could significantly enhance brain function. My vision was to create a platform that integrates scientific and holistic approaches to help individuals develop a sharp, focused, and resilient mind.

Believe in yourself and your vision. Entrepreneurship is not just about starting a business; it’s about solving problems, creating impact, and leaving a legacy.

Surround yourself with supportive people and always keep your passion alive.
Hello Mumbai News
How do you balance your professional life and personal life?
Priyanka Shah
Balancing professional and personal life is all about setting priorities and managing time effectively. I follow a structured routine that allows me to dedicate time to both my work and my family.

Most importantly, I ensure that I take time to rejuvenate and reflect, which keeps me motivated and energized for both my personal and professional commitments.
Hello Mumbai News
What type of challenges and difficulties did you face during your journey?
Priyanka Shah
Every journey comes with its share of challenges, and mine was no different. One of the biggest challenges I faced was breaking societal norms and convincing people about the importance of holistic learning and brain development techniques. Many were skeptical about Midbrain Activation, NLP, and alternative healing methods, considering them unconventional. Educating people and proving the effectiveness of these methods required immense dedication, patience, and continuous effort.
Another challenge was balancing multiple roles—entrepreneur, educator, healer, and mentor—while ensuring that I provided the best to my students and clients. There were moments of self-doubt and obstacles that tested my perseverance, but my unwavering belief in my vision kept me going.
Expanding Brain Power Classes also came with logistical and operational difficulties, such as reaching a wider audience, scaling programs, and ensuring high-quality training both offline and online. However, with determination, innovation, and the right collaborations, I overcame these hurdles.
Through every challenge, I have learned valuable lessons that have made me stronger, more resilient, and even more committed to my mission of empowering minds and transforming lives.
