Workplace wellness isn’t about beanbags or Friday yoga — it’s about leadership, culture, and what people consume (physically and mentally) every day.
In this unfiltered episode of Wellness at Work India, Dr. Rahul Sawakhande joins Neethi Nair to expose the hidden triggers of stress and illness inside Indian offices — and why leaders need to step up.
From tapri breaks filled with sugar and smoke to the mental pressure on high-performing teams, this conversation explores how everyday choices — both by employees and their leaders — directly impact burnout, diabetes, and retention.
Rahul brings his lens as a healthcare entrepreneur, doctor, and people-first leader with 17+ years of experience across pharma and wellness. Neethi brings her ground-level insight into organizational psychology and workplace mental health.
Together, they unpack what most companies ignore:
Why “feedback” needs to be replaced with “feed-forward”
How leaders can coach their teams on health without being overbearing
Why sugar is the real productivity killer in your office pantry
And how one simple culture shift can prevent burnout before it begins
This isn’t a wellness trend — it’s a leadership responsibility. For founders, HR leaders, and managers — this is a must-watch.
Chai breaks and sugar crashes are quietly harming your workforce
Employee health is leadership’s job — not just HR’s
Real wellness is proactive, not reactive
A healthy team starts with what you serve, say, and support
Wellness must move from perks to principles
