About Dr. Sujata Kelkar Shetty
Dr. Sujata Kelkar Shetty is a rare bridge between science, wellbeing, and everyday life. A US-trained biological scientist, resilience coach, and bestselling author, she brings deep scientific credibility to conversations around stress, immunity, and preventive health. Her academic journey includes post-doctoral research at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, NIH (Bethesda, USA), where she worked with Dr. George Chrousos, one of the world’s foremost pioneers in stress research. Her work focused on understanding how physical and psychological stress alters immune responses, research that remains deeply relevant today.
Since returning to India, Dr. Shetty has dedicated her career to translating complex medical research into practical, accessible wisdom. Her writing uniquely integrates modern biomedical science, Ayurveda, and clinical experience, making preventive healthcare relatable for everyday life. Her book 99 Not Out! Your Guide to a Long and Healthy Life, published by Penguin Random House, became a widely read wellness guide, with an expanded edition released in 2023.
Recognising her growing impact in mental health education, Penguin commissioned Dr. Shetty in 2024 to author a new book on Teenage Mental Resilience, addressing stress, screen fatigue, and emotional wellbeing among adolescents—a topic of urgent relevance globally. Alongside her writing, she is a certified life coach and resilience trainer, conducting high-impact workshops for leading organisations including Infosys, PwC, TCS, EY, and academic institutions.
As a speaker, Dr. Sujata Kelkar Shetty is calm, evidence-driven, and deeply reassuring. Her sessions help audiences understand stress not as an enemy, but as a signal—and teach tools to build sustainable resilience, emotional balance, and long-term wellbeing. Her work resonates equally with corporates, educators, parents, healthcare professionals, and young adults navigating modern life.
