Hypothalamus was founded by Sri Harsha, later joined by his friends Sharath Chandra and Nirali Parikh. Harsha conceived the idea while pursuing his graduation at the MGM Institute of Health Sciences, Navi Mumbai.

Harsha believes that nutrition is vital for optimal body functioning.

After discussing the concept with his friends, they collectively launched Hypothalamus.
