In this episode, I sit down with Shaifali Verma, a seasoned people and culture leader, to unpack the evolving role of mental health in the modern workplace. With experience spanning psychology, HR, and leadership development, Shaifali shares real-world insights into how wellness can (and should) be designed as a strategic pillar, not a reactive perk.

If you're a founder, people manager, or wellness startup operator, this episode will give you tactical clarity on what's broken, what's working, and where the real opportunities lie.

Key Talking Points:

• Why mental health isn’t just about therapy or meditation apps
• The difference between performative wellness and embedded culture
• How startups and high-pressure teams can build mental health into their DNA
• The critical role of leadership and middle management in creating safe workplaces
• Why one-size-fits-all mental health strategies don’t work
• What real impact looks like, stories from roundtables and on-ground experiences
• Early signs that your team’s mental wellbeing is at risk (and what to do)
• Opportunities for startups working in the B2B mental wellness space
