Twenty-five years in corporate India teaches you how to build revenue, lead teams, and navigate large organisations.
What it rarely teaches is how to take care of yourself while doing all of it.
Mitesh Desai spent those years at the intersection of media, technology, and consulting—Meta, HT Media Group, The Walt Disney Company India, Wipro—each role demanding more and quietly extracting more from the system running the person. An ISB MBA, an engineering degree from Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI), and a career built on structure and scale define the archetypical corporate journey. Yet, over time, questions emerged that spreadsheets couldn’t answer.
They were personal: about energy, sleep, and what happens when ambition runs at full throttle for decades.
He began exploring health through a grounded lens—exercise, nutrition, meditation, and science-backed supplementation. The results were real, as was the realization that millions of urban Indians face the same exhaustion, choosing between synthetic clinical products or natural but unverified alternatives.
That gap became Purezen.
Founded with a philosophy drawn from his father’s decades of Ayurvedic formulation work (for Zandu Pharma and Charak) and Mitesh’s own corporate rigor, Purezen stands where nature meets science. Not wellness theatre, but transparent formulations made in ISO 22000, GMP, and HACCP-certified facilities, addressing modern health concerns like sleep, cognition, liver health, blood sugar, heart care, thyroid, skin, and hormones.
Products like SleepStory, MindBoost, Liv-It-Up, and HeartThrob reflect a clear, condition-first approach for a generation that values clarity over claims.
Purezen is also a family story, co-founded with his daughter Anushka, who leads brand, platform, and customer experience. Mitesh brings enterprise thinking, systems, and scale, while Anushka brings the consumer lens—digital-first, design-aware, and expectation-driven.
Beyond boardrooms, Mitesh is also deeply rooted in theatre, actively engaging with professional theatre in Mumbai and Bangalore. That practice of observing human behavior and finding truth beneath performance informs his approach as a founder in a noisy wellness category.
Purezen is a direct-to-consumer brand available on its Shopify store, Amazon, Flipkart, Tata 1mg, and PharmEasy. The vision is not scale alone, but trust—to become the brand a young professional chooses after reading the label and understanding it makes sense.
In a category driven by claims and imagery, that kind of trust takes patience. Twenty-five years in corporate life and a life in theatre have given Mitesh Desai both the discipline to build long-term and the instinct to recognize what is real.
