Madhavan Mani
Founding Director
B.Tech (Computer Science and Engineering), M.Sc (Applied Psychology), PhD (Digital Health)
His passion to help and motivate people and his interest in positive psychology made him quit his 10-year IT career to pursue psychology studies and research. His PhD in mindfulness apps and digital health eventually lead to founding Thriver Consulting which focuses on the intersection of technology, mental health and research.
