Mental & Spiritual Wellness of Startup Founders is not a perk — it’s a strategy.
Privileged to be invited as a speaker by Beats School of Business (BEAT Educations) , Green vibrant, Calicut on a topic that’s very close to my heart.
When I started preparing, I came across some goosebump-worthy insights. We celebrate unicorns , Series A/B/C funding rounds , and headlines of “breaking success.”
But what we don’t see enough of is the human cost of the hustle.
Burnout isn’t a buzzword. It’s real. It’s dangerous.
📊 Here are some hard-hitting facts every founder must pause and reflect on:
72% of entrepreneurs suffer from mental health challenges.
Founders are 2x more likely to experience depression.
In India, 68% of startup founders admit to high burnout levels.
Entrepreneurs have a 6x higher su***de rate than the general population.
These aren’t just numbers. They’re wake-up calls. 🔔
As founders, we invest in technology, teams, and growth. But we often forget the most critical investment: our own mind and spirit.
Because without inner strength, no outer success can be sustainable. 🌱
Grateful for this opportunity to share insights, stories, and practical tools to help founders build not just scalable startups — but sustainable selves.
