Ishank Popli — Co-Founder
I’m building at the intersection of Work and Wellness — two worlds that shape how people live, grow, and show up every day. Through Huptle, we’re reimagining hiring — using AI and human insight to help companies discover and onboard the right talent faster, while empowering candidates to find roles where they truly fit. Through Hugg, we’re bringing mental wellness to the center of everyday life — from therapy and retreats to digital journaling and workplace wellbeing programs. Both ventures share one mission: to make human growth accessible, measurable, and meaningful. Over the last few years, I’ve worked with therapists, HR leaders, universities, and wellness founders — helping them build systems that prioritize clarity, culture, and care. On LinkedIn, I write about: The future of work & AI in hiring (through Huptle’s lens) The business of wellness & psychology (through Hugg’s journey) Personal reflections from building two human-first startups Case studies on how brands scaled & failed 💌 Every Tuesday — I share In The Ishank’s Mind, my newsletter on human behavior, business psychology, and the founder mindset. Let’s connect if you’re building anything around wellness, people, or purposeful tech — or if you simply care about creating better workplaces and calmer humans.
