Dr. Jini K Gopinath — CEO
I am a trained Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Hypnotherapist with expertise in psychological assessment, psychotherapy, corporate employee wellness, and performance coaching. I completed my training in Clinical Psychology from Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, and earned my PhD in Psychology from the University of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram. Over the past two decades, I have worked across multiple domains related to mental health, wellbeing, and education, engaging with individuals, institutions, and organizations in diverse settings. My professional journey spans academia, clinical practice, corporate wellness, digital mental health platforms, and sports performance psychology. In academia, I have taught Psychology to undergraduate and postgraduate students at university level, contributing to the training of future mental health professionals. In the corporate sector, I headed Clinical Operations for Corporate Wellness at Optum International (UnitedHealth Group), where I worked on building and delivering large-scale employee mental health and wellbeing programs. I have also been involved in the startup ecosystem in mental health, having founded Mind Matters, a mental health initiative in Bangalore, and later working with YourDost, an online wellness platform focused on accessible mental health support. My work in performance psychology includes coaching elite sports professionals, including the Kerala Ranji Trophy cricket team and Indian Premier League teams such as Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab. Currently, I serve as the Chief Psychology Officer at Shyro Health, an online mental wellness platform, and as an Adjunct Professor of Psychology at the Indian Institute of Psychology and Research, Bangalore. Alongside my professional roles, I regularly conduct workshops, training programs, and professional development sessions for mental health professionals in India and internationally.
