A philanthropic society devoted to the discovery and innovation that lifts every mind toward its full luminosity — through three intertwined petals of science, culture, and humanitarian work.

Across continents and disciplines, a small constellation of clinicians, artists, and statesmen are doing the unglamorous, persistent work of lifting mental wellness from privilege into inheritance. We exist to find them, celebrate them, and amplify what they have built.
The foundation operates through three intertwined channels — the science that reveals, the art that translates, and the leadership that scales. Every laureate we honour, every story we tell, every photograph we archive bears witness to this shared, patient work.
The Sunder Foundation advances mental wellness on three interconnected fronts — the science that opens frontiers of care, the culture that animates them, and the humanitarian effort that carries them where they are needed most.
Pioneering advancements in personalized rTMS, EEG-guided neuromodulation, and clinical research that translates from frontier to bedside.
Partnerships with visual and performing arts organizations that destigmatize care and animate empathy where data alone cannot reach.
Outreach programs spanning continents — carrying care, expertise, and advocacy where they are needed most.
Founder & Chairman
It is by understanding, compassion, and vision that we will be able to travel past adversity with loving kindness and courage — our humanity intact, made wiser by the integrated truths of the sciences, arts, and cultures that have risen with us from the mud of creation.
Across Indian tradition for millennia, the pink lotus has represented spiritual enlightenment, growth, purity, and birth. Our mark carries that lineage forward — twenty-four petals across three rings, each colour a chakra, each element a meaning.
Once a month we send a considered note on the latest in mental wellness research, the laureates we admire, and the events worth your attention. Quiet. Curated. Worth your inbox.
