He also spoke on dealing with burnout, ‘I balance between work and life. I support charity, art, culture, sports and I am on boards of a lot of think-tanks. I attend social events, plays, art events etc. towards the end of the day that keep me charged up.’

The forum hosted successful founders, industry stalwarts who shared how they overcame challenges in their entrepreneurial journey through strong practices like meditation, activities that lead to personal fulfilment that help them tackle stress, burnout and other routine mental challenges. The full-day conference was free of charge exploring the themes of emotional resilience, personal holistic well-being through unique practical sessions, panels and several peer, mentor connects.
