The Vision Behind Burnout Break
At Burnout Break, we believe that some breaks don’t slow you down—they launch you forward.
A casual coffee chat turned into something bigger when Naina and I bonded over our love for unplanned travel—how stepping away, even for a short time, could shift perspectives. That conversation sparked an idea: What if more people could access this kind of reset? Sukila, Naina’s longtime collaborator, was instantly on board. Then came Rajesh—the guy who could hop on a plane with zero notice—and RR, who had already built a life of exploration in Indonesia. Different paths, different journeys, but the same belief: the best ideas come when you step away.
That belief has shaped my own journey. Over the years, I’ve worked across industries, building and scaling ventures in logistics, wellness, and healthcare. As Managing Director at Pulse 63, I’ve helped grow 48+ startups across Southeast Asia. Before that, I co-founded hav., a wellness app with over a million downloads, and led Shipper’s $100M funding journey as CFO. I’ve backed 150+ startups, including BluSmart, The ePlane Company, and GIVA, and served as a judge on The Final Pitch—the Philippines’ take on Shark Tank.
Through it all, I’ve seen one thing repeatedly: the most driven people rarely take a step back. But when they do, they return sharper, stronger, and more inspired than ever.
That’s what Burnout Break is about—a space where founders, innovators, and high-achievers can unplug to power up. This isn’t just another retreat. It’s a carefully crafted experience designed to reset your mind, fuel creativity, and surround you with the kind of people who make things happen.
