Workplace wellness isn’t a one-off health camp or a team lunch — it’s about how leaders show up, set boundaries, and create space for well-being every single day.
In this honest episode of Wellness at Work India, Dr. Abel and Sudhir open up about the personal cost of high-performance culture — from taking client calls on vacation to walking into your home looking like you’re carrying the whole company on your shoulders.
Together, they reflect on the silent pressures leaders face, how burnout sneaks into boardrooms, and why traditional wellness initiatives miss the mark.
This conversation isn’t about perks — it’s about changing how we lead.
Abel shares his experience as a doctor and healthcare leader who’s seen the cost of ignoring mental health — even among top performers. Sudhir, a corporate leader, brings firsthand stories of managing pressure, making decisions under stress, and why discipline and empathy go hand in hand.
Leadership stress often goes unspoken — until it explodes
Workplace wellness must be embedded in culture, not calendars
Boundaries protect performance — for leaders and their teams
Wellness starts with planning, empathy, and presence
Being “always on” is not sustainable — or admirable
