About Us
We're psychologists and work culture consultants who fix organizational breakdowns in founder-led tech companies.
Who We Are
We're Atishya Dhankar and Tahriem Shibli. We're both qualified psychologists with research backgrounds in meaning-making, play and inner child work, and formal training in trauma-informed practice and group facilitation. We completed our undergraduate degrees at Delhi University and our postgraduate studies at AUD (Ambedkar University Delhi), where we first met.
We took the same extended detour into organisational psychology, trying to understand how clinical and developmental research actually maps onto what's happening inside a 70-person tech startup in Gurugram. We arrived at the same conclusion from slightly different angles: the dynamics we'd spent years observing in clinical and group settings were playing out inside offices across Delhi NCR with nobody equipped to name them.
In 2023, we started Sensewise Wellness to help founder-led tech companies navigate these dynamics before they become crises. We work with leadership teams to build clarity, accountability, and the manager capability that allows organizations to scale without losing their people or their sanity.
Our approach combines clinical psychology, organizational systems thinking, and practical business acumen. We don't believe in generic frameworks. Every engagement is tailored to the specific culture, stage, and challenges of the organization we're working with.
Our Approach
We combine clinical psychology, organizational systems thinking, and practical business acumen to help founder-led tech companies fix leadership and execution breakdowns. We believe that the best organizations are built on clarity, accountability, and genuine human connection—not heroic founders and burnout.
Every engagement is tailored to the specific culture, stage, and challenges of the organization. We don't believe in generic frameworks or one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we work with your team to understand what's actually happening, name the dynamics that are driving the breakdown, and build the systems and capability to fix it.
What We Believe
Clarity Matters
Most organizational problems aren't about effort or intelligence. They're about clarity. When people understand what matters and why, everything else becomes possible.
Accountability Works
Real accountability isn't punishment. It's clarity about who owns what, how decisions get made, and how we track progress. It's what allows teams to move fast and trust each other.
People Stay When They Belong
High performers leave because they don't feel seen, heard, or like they belong. Building a culture where people feel genuinely connected is the foundation of retention.
