About

Asia is entering a new emotional era — one where our inner worlds can no longer be explained through borrowed languages or imported models. Our cultures feel deeply, express quietly, and carry emotional weight in ways that Western frameworks were never built to decode. I founded the Asian Wellbeing Futures Lab™ to change that. The Lab is a future-facing emotional research ecosystem dedicated to building the emotional architecture Asia has always needed — culturally grounded diagnostics, wellbeing indices, leadership frameworks and emotional futures models that honour how our societies actually think, feel and relate. We study emotional behaviour at the intersection of culture, psychology, work and human futures — translating Asia’s emotional realities into systems that help institutions, workplaces and communities build healthier emotional environments. Alongside this work, I lead Rida Wellness — India’s first modern sensory wellbeing brand. Our botanical blends and scent-led rituals are designed to support emotional steadiness and presence in everyday life. Grounded in nature, culture and science, they bring emotional wellbeing into the hands and habits of people without jargon, claims or complexity. Together, these two verticals serve one mission: To build the emotional wellbeing ecosystem Asia deserves — through culturally intelligent research, sensory science, and deeply human design. This is the future I am shaping: a uniquely Asian emotional framework for the next generation of workplaces, leaders and communities.
