Bridging India and the World Through Wellbeing

A Forgotten Story, Ready to Be Retold

I grew up in India. I live in the United States now. That perspective has helped me see something clearly: India has always had something meaningful to offer the world.

For centuries, what we shared was not just goods. It was knowledge. Ayurveda. Yoga. Mathematics. Philosophy. Architecture. These ideas traveled across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. William Dalrymple, in his book The Golden Road, explains how India shaped entire regions not through conquest, but through culture, care, and wisdom.

And that matters now more than ever. The world today is tired, disconnected, and overwhelmed. What we need is not more speed, but more grounding. India’s systems were always built to provide that.

This is not about nostalgia. It is about returning to what works and rebuilding from there.

The Wisdom We Forgot

Somewhere along the way, we stopped trusting what we knew.

For generations, India’s knowledge was not just studied. It was lived. Children learned to breathe with awareness. Meals were prepared in rhythm with the seasons. Stillness was part of daily life. These systems helped people live in sync with themselves and with the world around them.

But that changed. Colonization dismissed these practices as outdated. Then modern life taught us that faster was better. We began letting go of the traditions that kept us balanced.

We replaced breathwork with prescriptions. We measured success by someone else’s standards. We started chasing progress at the cost of presence.

And we began to believe that our way of life was not enough.

But what if we were wrong?

What if the very systems we left behind are exactly what the world needs now?

What if leadership today means having the clarity to return to what grounds us? To practices that bring care, rhythm, and meaning into how we live and lead?

Because what we lost is not gone. It is still here, waiting to be remembered.

Restoring What We Already Know

India’s voice belongs at the global table. Not because of history alone, but because of what it can offer now. We do not need to rely on nostalgia or branding. What we carry is substance. India’s systems of care—like Ayurveda, yoga, pranayam, and daily rhythm—were not designed for performance. They were built to create alignment, helping people live with clarity, connection, and purpose.

And in today’s world, where so much feels fragmented, that kind of coherence is not just helpful. It is necessary. I do not see wellbeing as content. I see it as a framework. A way to lead, relate, and grow.

Not for the next quarter, but for the next generation.

A Living System for Real Change

India’s wisdom traditions were never meant to stand alone. They form a living system. One that brings coherence, not just calm. These are not lifestyle tools. They are interwoven practices designed to restore alignment across body, mind, and spirit.

I am still learning from them. I do not approach them as an expert. I approach them as a student. But the more I study, the more I see how they speak directly to what our world is missing. And when they are experienced together, they create a kind of operating system for wholistic wellbeing.

One that is built to last. One that meets people where they are.

Yoga teaches integration. Nada Yoga and Raga use sound to shift the nervous system. Bhakti brings strength through devotion. Mantras help shape focus and awareness. Ahara treats food as nourishment, not consumption. Dinacharya teaches daily rhythms that follow the logic of nature. Pranayam uses the breath to build inner stability. Dhyana brings stillness back into presence.

These are not checklists. They are pathways. Ways to return—not to the past, but to ourselves.

And I believe that return is what the world is hungry for. Not more advice, but deeper alignment. Not more stimulation, but structure that restores.

An Ode to Truth

I did not create Roundglass Living because it was trendy. I did not invest in wellbeing because it was commercially safe. I did it because I have seen what happens when people forget who they are. When we turn away from the systems that once kept us whole.

This is not about preserving ancient practices as artifacts of the past. It is about bringing them to life, here and now, for a world that is urgently looking for direction.

Yes, I believe in innovation. I have spent my career in technology. But I also believe that the most powerful systems are the ones rooted in truth. And truth does not age. It endures.

That is why I have committed my energy, my resources, and my life’s work to this path. Not just to build a company, but to support a movement.

Because wellbeing is not a luxury. It is not a perk. It is the foundation for everything else. How we lead. How we live. How we treat each other. And how we care for the planet we share.

This is our moment. To remember. To realign. And to rise.

Lead From Wholeness.
