From a Small Group to 7,000+ Women
On 21 September 2021, Smitha Haridas started a simple WhatsApp group called Positive Vibes — a handful of women seeking stillness together. Nobody could have predicted what it would grow into.
Batch by batch, the community grew. Women who came for meditation stayed for yoga and fitness. They found confidence, purpose — and then livelihood. Today Drida women run their own businesses, sell their own products, and support other women in becoming self-earning.
Along the way, Drida launched Kasar — our own line of wellness products born from the community: hair mist, herbal shampoo and face toner, made with care and love.
In 2025, Positive Vibes became Drida — “where she awakens.” A new name for an ever-deepening mission.
Beyond programmes, Drida quietly gives back — helping a child’s education, visiting old age homes, supporting those in need in small but meaningful ways.

The Teacher and Designer Who Became a Spiritual Guru
Before she led 7,000 women into stillness, Smitha Haridas was a schoolteacher, then the founder of S.fab Designs — a costume studio whose work dressed well-known Malayalam TV actresses. In 2021, she set it all aside to share meditation freely, and Drida was born.
