As 30% of Indian Employees Face Daily Stress and Poor Mental Health Costs Companies $14 Billion a Year, Purezen Launches Peak Performance Bundle for Focus and Recovery
Mumbai : India’s workforce is increasingly caught in a daily cycle of stress, poor sleep, and lost productivity and the data is stark. Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace 2026 report found that 28% of Indian employees experience stress every day and 31% report daily anger. South Asian workers, the report noted, show some of the highest daily stress and anger levels in the world, outpacing peers in the US, Europe, and China.
The business cost of this is significant. Deloitte’s Mental Health and Well-Being in the Workplace survey estimates that poor employee mental health costs Indian employers approximately USD 14 billion (~₹1.1 lakh crore) each year through absenteeism, presenteeism, and attrition. The Deloitte report also found that 80% of Indian professionals reported at least one adverse mental health symptom over the past year, with sleep issues (50%) and burnout (55%) among the most common.
Responding to this twin challenge of daytime stress and night-time sleep disruption, Mumbai-based nutraceutical brand Purezen has launched the Peak Performance Bundle a pairing of its cognitive support formulation MindBoost and sleep support formulation SleepStory, designed to address the full productivity-recovery cycle.
“Indian professionals aren’t just stressed at work, they’re sleeping poorly because of it, and struggling to focus the next day as a result. These aren’t separate problems. They’re two symptoms of the same 24-hour cycle,” said Mitesh Desai, Founder, Purezen. “Our Peak Performance Bundle reflects how we believe this category needs to evolve from single-point solutions to integrated daily-cycle wellness.”
MindBoost is a 16-ingredient formulation that brings together botanicals and nutrients including Ginkgo Biloba, Bacopa monnieri (Brahmi), Shankhpushpi, and L-Theanine – ingredients traditionally used and increasingly studied for their role in supporting mental clarity, focus, and cognitive function.
SleepStory, a non-habit-forming sleep support formulation, combines 13 ingredients including Melatonin, Magnesium, Valerian Root, and L-Tryptophan – chosen to support natural sleep-wake regulation and relaxation without morning grogginess.
