About Manu 😌

I’m Manu - a doctor, startup advisor, and product strategist.I was raised in the UK by a supportive Sikh family, who instilled within me core principles of empowerment through education, purpose through duty, and fulfilment through service. These principles guided my decision to become a doctor and help solve life-changing problems for people in need.In an ecosystem of innovation at university, I discovered the potential to radically transform healthcare by leveraging advances in technology. As a result, my focus pivoted to bridging the gap between what is needed in healthcare and what is made possible with innovation.Driven by curiosity about the human mind and how far we have to go in treating mental illness, I found my purpose in mental health. Working with mental health patients across the UK and Australia has given me specific knowledge about patient needs, clinical workflows, and where healthcare systems are breaking at the seams.As an advisor to Mindsigns Health, Pareful, and the Wellbeing Technologies Lab, I draw upon my clinical experience to shape product strategy and accelerate the development of various mental health technologies. On the MindTech Podcast, I get to discover what the future holds for mental health by speaking with innovators at the frontier of technology.I measure the potential for fulfilment in my work by the depth and scale of the problems I aim to solve. In mental health, these unsolved problems are clear: mental illness is poorly understood with a terrible burden on society and a treatment gap unmatched by any other medical specialty.If you’re curious about the roles and projects I've taken on to try and solve these problems, you may be interested in What I’m Working On.
