As an organisational psychologist, Preeti D’Mello worked towards leadership development and building coaching systems for MNCs for over a decade. But she started noticing a pattern: accomplished and committed people arriving at a place of quiet depletion. This unrecognised depletion was diminishing their performance, leadership quality, future readiness, and overall business impact. 

“I wanted to understand what was actually happening, and what the antidote was,” says D’Mello, “Through my work, I realised that better self-care was not the answer — it faded in comparison to growing pressures. The enduring and sustainable answer is fulfilment — not treated as a well-being perk, but as a capacity that positively influences the leadership, the quality of team performance, and the organisational culture.” And this is what encouraged her to build The Fulfillment Institute, a digital platform for leadership and human development.
