About

I'm Renuka Figueiredo, and my journey sits at the intersection of curiosity, psychology, and sustainable innovation. Initially trained as a clinical psychologist, my path quickly expanded beyond traditional therapy rooms to broader platforms where I could meaningfully impact lives and communities. At Gaiagen Technologies, I'm part of a thoughtful revolution, steering the pest control industry towards safe, sustainable biological solutions through careful planning and strategic collaboration. Concurrently, at The Fungamental Company, I manage projects dedicated to scaling up the production of high-quality organic mushrooms, connecting science with conscious consumption. Perhaps closest to my heart is my role at The Owl House Goa—a space I co-founded to empower neurodiverse adults through skill-building and inclusive opportunities. This isn't just a job; it's a lifelong commitment to creating spaces where differences are celebrated and strengths cultivated. Previously, at Loop Health, I worked to reimagine healthcare delivery, emphasizing patient-centric solutions that felt humane, accessible, and transformative. My story is shaped by a belief that meaningful work comes from deeply understanding both people and purpose. I'm always eager to connect, collaborate, and explore ways to create lasting, positive change.
