The Restore Awards® are a non profit awards initiative by the The Kindness Practice Foundation, a registered NGO and Section 8 organisation. They recognise and celebrate mental health and sustainability warriors, therapists, doctors, organisations and communities working for human and planet health connected to each other. Large brands and HNIs partner with us to further the awareness about mental health, sustainable and green nutrition. Together, we celebrate those working in these areas to impact the community on a global stage where 1 million people applaud their work. Doctors, therapists, sustainability entrepreneurs, health brands, mental health warriors, well-being heroes have all been part of the last 7 years of our journey as winners and nominees.
When we are one
Every year, we return—not merely as a ceremony, but as a festival to honour, recognise, celebrate and applaud extraordinary individuals and organisations who dedicate their life’s work to the healing of humanity and the preservation of our Earth.
The Restore Awards® is the brain child of well known Cancer, Lifestyle Medicine and Mental Health Therapist Dr Rachna Chhachhi. She and her team organise the awards every year backed by brands, corporate leaders, celebrities and corporate partners.
In 2019, the awards were inaugurated by Mr Harsh Mariwala, Chairman, Marico. In 2020, they were chaired by Mr Sanjiv Puri, Chairman,ITC. In 2021, Mr Anshu Gupta, Goonj and Dr Taruna Madan, ICMR graced the awards. In 2022, filmmaker Prakash Jha lent his support to this cause; in 2023, UNAIDS Country Head, Mr David Bridges was our chief guest and last year, celebrated musician and singer Khatija Rahman, Trustee, AR Rahman Foundation, graced us. Each year, we are supported by our Kindness Ambassadors across the world who stand with us to help us create awareness about the good work being done by grassroots champions.
