Who We Are

Idanim is a space to pause, look inward on your path to spiritual growth, through mindfulness and meditation.

About Idanim

Idanim began with a simple realization: that peace isn't something we chase, it's something we uncover. Most of us spend years searching outward for it, through achievements, routines, even mindfulness meditation apps; without pausing to ask where it truly comes from.

At Idanim, we bring together teachers from different traditions and backgrounds, not to hand you a new technique every day, but to make mindfulness and meditation a natural state through guided meditation and spiritual reflections. Until you notice that what you were seeking, was there all along. The word "Idanim" means "Now" in Sanskrit, because that awareness has never been anywhere but here.

Our aim isn't to add one more habit to your day. It's to help mindfulness and meditation become less of a practice and more of a way of being. So, conscious living unfolds naturally in everything you do, and with it, comes a quiet shift in consciousness. Whether you are a beginner or in the advanced stages of your mindfulness, meditation, and spiritual journey, Idanim meets you exactly where you are.

The Idanim Story

Idanim was created at TO THE NEW, a digital technology company that has been named a Great Place to Work nine times. During the tough times of the COVID-19 pandemic, we started looking for a mindfulness and meditation platform that could help our team, whom we call Newers, deal with stress and take care of their mental well-being.

At the time, we found that existing meditation and mindfulness apps, mostly founded in the US or Europe, didn't really do justice to Indian corporate audiences and were limited to the teachings and practices of one particular teacher or tradition. This is when we decided to create our own platform, one that is more inclusive, wholesome, and India-centric, built to support every stage of your spiritual journey.

We wanted to leverage our expertise in technology and our own practice of mindfulness to provide a platform that helps people live a life with purpose, presence, and peace. Idanim officially came to life in July 2022. What started as a simple internal initiative quickly evolved into a deeper journey. We initially focused on corporate professionals in the first year of operations. Idanim's growth trajectory changed when we introduced our mindfulness and meditation content in Hindi, in September 2023. Since then, Idanim has grown to over 1 million downloads, becoming more than just an app.

About Our Founder

Raman Mittal co-founded TO THE NEW in 2008 and began his own meditation practice a year later, in 2009. What started as a way to find clarity amid the pressures of entrepreneurship gradually deepened into a lifelong spiritual journey, shaped by Vipassana, Vedic self-inquiry, and the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, J. Krishnamurti, Ramana Maharshi, and Osho.

He's careful not to call himself a teacher in the traditional sense, preferring to describe himself as a fellow seeker of stillness and presence, still working through many of the same questions his students bring to him. That path led him to found Idanim in 2022, now one of India's leading meditation platforms, reaching over a million lives.

Outside of Idanim, Raman spends his time with family and reading on spirituality, psychology, and consciousness.
