Karishma Mehta, the founder and CEO of Humans of Bombay, recently took to social media to share a significant personal milestone. In a heartfelt January 2025 post, she revealed that she had finally gone through with freezing her eggs, something she had been planning to do for a while.
Mehta’s post was a January photo dump—a collection of moments from the first month of the year. Along with multiple snapshots, she reflected on her achievements, both personal and professional. Captioning the post, she wrote, “The first month of the year, and what a well-diversified portfolio it’s been. Some personal wins, some professional. Some bucket list items ticked off, the way for others being paved. 2025 has been swell guys.”
Among the many experiences she shared, Mehta spoke about her decision to freeze her eggs. She wrote, “Been meaning to do this for a while and finally got around to it. I froze my eggs at the beginning of the month.” A touching image in the post showed her holding someone`s hands while lying on a bed, possibly taken at the time of the procedure.
The post wasn’t just about her egg-freezing journey. Mehta also shared glimpses of her eventful month, including a picture with actor Abhay Deol, her first-ever advertisement shoot, celebrating Humans of Bombay’s 11th anniversary, attending the Coldplay concert, and raising 20 lakh for a rape victim.
She wrapped up the post on a warm and engaging note, writing, “January, you’ve been special. And I hope it has been for you too. Tell me, what’s something special that’s happened to you this month?”

Explaining her decision, she shared in a social media post, “As a vegetarian, I won’t eat meat because it doesn’t sit right with me to consume a living being. How then can it sit well with me to partake in a market that prides itself on being ‘luxury’ by levying their premium-ness on the quality of animal being skinned?”
She further added, “As I have arrived at the decision to not only stop the purchase of leather of any kind, it guts to me use the leather that I may have already purchased. In the weeks to come, I will begin a sale of all my leather items—the proceeds of which will go towards animal welfare NGOs.”
Mehta founded Humans of Bombay in 2014, a platform dedicated to sharing real-life narratives through powerful storytelling. Over the years, it has grown into a well-known name, shedding light on inspiring and thought-provoking stories.
Through her work and personal choices, Karishma Mehta continues to make an impact, whether it’s through storytelling, philanthropy, or her commitment to ethical living.
