Power soundbites: Use with credit

“India’s primary vulnerability is not rising stress alone, but a widespread inability to recognise and regulate stress until it has already caused harm.”

“India is routing a population-level regulation problem through a clinical care system — and then wondering why capacity never catches up.”

“In stress regulation, delay does not stand still. Costs accumulate — and so do missed gains.”

Hot topics I’m most asked to speak on

What experts, partners & participants say…

“Exactly what India needs right now…a much-needed innovation for a high-stress world.”

As a clinician who has spent decades witnessing the toll that chronic stress takes — not just on the mind, but on the body — I believe 'Relax Play Thrive' is exactly what India needs right now. It's more than a book; it's a structured yet playful guide to understanding our nervous systems in a way that's both scientific and deeply human. What makes it truly unique is its ability to simplify complex physiology into everyday practicesthrough bite-sized activities that engage both logic and emotion. In a country where conversations around stress are either clinical or spiritual, this book brings in a long-missing third lens: behavioural and experiential. It's something I can see benefiting students, patients, caregivers and even medical professionals. If integrated into our healthcare, education, and wellness systems, I genuinely believe this tool has the potential to transform how Indians regulate stress-preventively, not just reactively. A much-needed innovation for a high-stress world. And in the light of the Diabetes epidemic, it will reduce risk of Diabetes. And, if you prevent Diabetes, you can prevent many complications like blindness! Read More

Feedback from a Congruex employee wellness session

“I can now recognize what’s happening inside me when I’m feeling a certain way.”

I was starting to feel easily overwhelmed with work, and I didn’t want to read another book about stress. ‘Relax Play Thrive’ stood out because it felt so interactive and engaging. One unexpected benefit was learning about the nervous system and our moods in detail from the Mood Map. That deeper awareness has been life-changing — I can now recognize what’s happening inside me when I’m feeling a certain way. But what really exceeded my expectations was realising that stress management and stress regulation are two entirely different things. Before this, I always associated stress management with the usual meditation and breathwork that most stress coaches talk about. This was something else entirely. Read More
