Rethinking Mental Health at Work 
Xynteo- Annual Employee Jamboree
Why is talking about mental health at work so difficult? And are these conversations difficult across different cultures and geographies? How to start a conversation and build ownership across the organisation. These were some of the questions I addressed during my talk to 100+ employees across Oslo, London, Mumbai and Delhi.
COVID19 pandemic is more than a wakeup call for Mental Health
DIVE IN – Festival for Diversity & Inclusion in Insurance
Covid is a wake up alarm, for health systems across the world, more so for mental health. And like all our alarm clocks, the first reaction is to hit the snooze button. My perspective on why hitting the snooze button again and going back to sleep is not an option. Its time to wake up and get to work.
