About Prakriti Poddar

Prakriti Saxena Poddar designs and governs integrated wellbeing infrastructure across digital health, enterprise environments, education, sport, and philanthropy.Her work addresses a structural gap: mental health remains fragmented across content platforms, clinical care, corporate benefits, youth wellbeing initiatives, and public discourse. She designs unified capability frameworks that integrate neuroscience, behavioral science, music innovation, and traditional knowledge into scalable, measurable systems.As Global Head of Mental Health and Wellbeing at Roundglass, she holds end to end accountability for the architecture of Roundglass Living. Her mandate spans content product strategy for wellbeing, digital therapeutics development, research integration, creative systems, enterprise adoption models, and cross channel distribution. Rather than managing discrete functions, she integrates them into a cohesive operating system for human capability development.Across Roundglass, she shapes wellbeing frameworks for children, youth, and professionals, embedding resilience, emotional regulation, and performance into institutional infrastructure rather than episodic programs. Working closely with founder leadership, she contributes to long horizon strategy and the intellectual positioning of wholistic wellbeing across sectors.She builds and mentors multidisciplinary teams across science, product, creative, music, research, and enterprise domains, designing capability structures that sustain high performance at scale.With over 25 years spanning clinical practice, systems design, and institutional leadership, she operates across domains typically siloed across multiple executives, translating between neuroscience, behavioral design, creative strategy, enterprise growth, and governance while retaining implementation accountability.She has developed digital therapeutic frameworks currently under patent review and has led mental health reform, policy advocacy, and large scale community initiatives in India. During the COVID crisis, she mobilized and led a network of over 700 wellbeing volunteers across India to deliver free mental health support at scale.
