Many places in the world still need perinatal mental health resources. In most cases, the key to accessibility is someone with the vision and passion to take action and lead with innovation. Today's guest is making it happen with her groundbreaking work in India, and she's here to share her story with us! Dr. Paridhi Mehra is the founder and CEO of HappiNest, India's first dedicated platform for parental mental health. With nearly a decade of experience in health tech and public health innovation, Dr. Paridhi has led digital health solutions that improve access to healthcare for all. After experiencing firsthand the lack of awareness and support for maternal mental health in India, she founded HappiNest to bridge this gap, ensuring that every mother can access the care she deserves. She works at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and community to bring a happy start to parenthood for all. In this episode, Dr. Paridhi shares her journey, along with issues related to stigma and culture in maternal mental health. Show Highlights: Dr. Paridhi's journey from being a dentist and entering her first pregnancy, when she immediately knew something was “off.” After her son was born, she felt like she was in a parallel universe where she didn't know what to do or how to function. Breastfeeding challenges, sleep deprivation, and feeling disconnected and distant from her baby Cultural stigma in India about postpartum depression and the sacred role of a mother With her husband pushing her to get help, she found the support she needed. What it feels like to keep asking, “Why am I not happy?” Working on a self-discovery journey and learning to enjoy her baby Talking to a childhood friend and fellow new mom helped put Dr. Paridhi at ease, and things started to improve The birth of HappiNest to fill the gaps for families in India with care AND prevention (but the stigma still prevents many women from reaching out for help) An overview of the HappiNest program and process for offering online services Dr. Paridhi's perspective on what needs to change in India to offer help to more people Resources: Connect with Dr. Paridhi Mehra and HappiNest: Website Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

In this episode of SaaS Fuel, Jeff Mains sits down with Uddhav Mehra and Harry Masters from The Inflection Group to unpack one of the most common mistakes early-stage SaaS founders make—hiring the wrong people too early. We explore why big-name hires from large enterprises often flop in scrappy startups, the power of hiring gritty operators over shiny resumes, and how to create a strategic, stage-appropriate hiring roadmap. If you're looking to scale without bloating your team or burning your cash, this episode is packed with insights on founder-led sales, hiring for impact, and building elite go-to-market teams that actually work in real-world startup conditions.Key Takeaways00:00 – Don't hire a VP of Sales yet? Here's why01:44 – Founders and enterprise sales: a smarter strategy02:28 – Why rockstar execs fail in startups03:57 – Hire for the stage, not the brand05:10 – Meet Udhav Mehra and Harry Masters08:05 – The “headhunter” problem most founders hate11:00 – The #1 mistake founders make when hiring14:30 – Startup size matters when evaluating candidates18:26 – Mismatched expectations from candidates and founders23:20 – Why asking for a “marketing person” is usually wrong26:41 – Why startup success takes more time than expected27:56 – How Inflection supports technical founders33:14 – Role clarity evolves during interviews35:00 – What's your first GTM hire?

Most execs don't." – Uddhav Mehra"Marketing isn't a person. It's a function made of 10 roles. Know what you actually need." – Jeff MainsSaaS Leadership LessonsDon't hire too senior too soon – Early-stage startups often mistake brand-name experience for startup grit. Hire for stage fit, not prestige.Enterprise sales ≠ enterprise strategy – A better early move: founder-led sales + 1 top enterprise rep who's hungry to win.Start with goals, not job titles – Instead of saying “we need a VP of Sales,” define what outcomes you need and build a strategy around that.Hiring evolves with your growth stage – What works at Series A won't work at Series C. Update your hiring playbook accordingly.Avoid "Frankenstein job descriptions" – Roles like “Marketing Person” often disguise unrealistic expectations across 5–6 different functions.Great hiring is strategy, not speed – A structured, multi-step hiring process reduces misfires and builds long-term alignment.Guest ResourcesEmail - harry@theinflectiongroup.comWebsite - https://www.theinflectiongroup.com/Harry's Linkedin

Story Transcript:Hi: सर्दियों की वो ठंडी शाम थी, जब उदयपुर का राजमहल महाशिवरात्रि के लिए रंग-बिरंगे प्रकाशों में सजा था।En: It was a cold winter evening when the Udaipur royal palace was adorned with colorful lights for Maha Shivaratri.Hi: महल के चारों ओर जगमगाती रोशनी और झील पिछोला का शांत पानी, असीम शांति और सौंदर्य का दृश्य प्रस्तुत कर रहा था।En: The sparkling lights around the palace and the calm waters of Pichola Lake presented a scene of immense peace and beauty.Hi: इसी भव्य माहौल में मेहरा परिवार का पुनर्मिलन हो रहा था।En: Amidst this grand atmosphere, the Mehra family reunion was taking place.Hi: यह अवसर था मीरा और उनके पति की शादी की सालगिरह मनाने का।En: This was the occasion to celebrate the wedding anniversary of Meera and her husband.Hi: मीरा की इच्छा थी कि उनके बच्चे, आर्यन और रिया, ऐसे मौके पर न सिर्फ शामिल हों, बल्कि एक सच्चे पारिवारिक बंधन की अनुभूति करें।En: Meera wished that her children, Aryan and Riya, would not only attend the event but also feel a true family bond.Hi: आर्यन और रिया ने अपनी-अपनी जगह पर जीवन में खूब तरक्की की थी, लेकिन दोनों के बीच का भावनात्मक दूरी मीरा को चिंता में डाल देती थी।En: Aryan and Riya had achieved significant success in their respective places in life, but the emotional distance between them worried Meera.Hi: आर्यन स्वभाव से थोड़ा संकोची था।En: Aryan was somewhat reserved by nature.Hi: वह एक बड़े निर्णय को लेकर असमंजस में था और चाहता था कि वह अपनी माँ को अपने इस दिल की बात बताए।En: He was indecisive about a major decision and wanted to share this heartfelt matter with his mother.Hi: दूसरी ओर, रिया, जीवंत और सफल पेशेवर थी, जो परिवार को हमेशा खुश देखना चाहती थी।En: On the other hand, Riya, a lively and successful professional, always wanted to see the family happy.Hi: उसे एहसास था कि सबकी उम्मीदों पर खरा उतरने का दबाव उसके जीवन में चिंता बढ़ा रहा है।En: She realized that the pressure of living up to everyone's expectations was increasing her anxiety.Hi: महल के बागीचे में एक ओर मीरा और आर्यन झील किनारे बैठे थे।En: In the palace's garden, Meera and Aryan were sitting by the lake.Hi: आर्यन ने मौका देखा और अपनी माँ से कहा, "माँ, मैं आपसे कुछ कहना चाहता हूँ।En: Aryan seized the moment and said to his mother, "Mom, I want to tell you something."Hi: "मीरा ने मुस्कुराकर कहा, "बोलो बेटा, क्या बात है?En: Smiling, Meera said, "Tell me, son, what is it?"Hi: ""माँ," आर्यन ने धीमी आवाज़ में कहा, "मैं अपने करियर की दिशा बदलना चाहता हूँ, लेकिन डरता हूँ कि क्या ये सही होगा।En: "Mom," Aryan said in a soft voice, "I want to change the direction of my career, but I'm afraid of whether it's the right choice."Hi: "मीरा ने अपने बेटे के कंधे पर हाथ रखकर कहा, "बेटा, तुम जो करना चाहते हो, वही सही होगा।En: Meera placed her hand on her son's shoulder and said, "Son, whatever you want to do will be right.Hi: तुम खुद पर विश्वास करो।En: Believe in yourself."Hi: "आर्यन के मन को शांति मिली।En: Aryan's mind found peace.Hi: माँ के शब्दों ने उसके विचारों को संबल दिया।En: His mother's words gave strength to his thoughts.Hi: वे दोनों तारों से भरे आसमान के नीचे कई बातें करते रहे।En: They continued to talk under the starry sky.Hi: मीरा ने आर्यन को यह भरोसा दिलाया कि उसका परिवार उसके साथ है।En: Meera assured Aryan that his family was with him.Hi: अगले दिन, आर्यन ने रिया से बात करने का निश्चय किया।En: The next day, Aryan decided to talk to Riya.Hi: वह ढूँढता रहा सही समय और आखिरकार जब सभी मंदिर में पूजा के लिए गए थे, तब उसने रिया को अपने फैसले के बारे में बताया।En: He kept looking for the right moment, and finally when everyone went to the temple for prayer, he told Riya about his decision.Hi: रिया मुस्कुराई और बोली, "मेरे पास भी कई बार ऐसे क्षण आए हैं।En: Riya smiled and said, "There have been many such moments for me too.Hi: मैं जानती हूँ कि ये आसान नहीं होता।En: I know it's not easy.Hi: लेकिन मैं तुम्हारे साथ हूँ।En: But I'm with you.Hi: और हमारी एक साथ कोशिश से हम आगे बढ़ेंगे।En: And with our joint efforts, we will move forward."Hi: "आर्यन ने पहली बार रिया के साथ अपने रिश्ते में एक नई शुरुआत महसूस की।En: For the first time, Aryan felt a new beginning in his relationship with Riya.Hi: उसे एहसास हुआ कि वह अपनी बहन के समर्थन में बहुत कुछ हासिल कर सकता है।En: He realized that he could achieve a lot with his sister's support.Hi: शाम होते-होते, महल की रंग-बिरंगी रोशनी में पूरा परिवार खुशी से एक साथ था।En: By evening, in the colorful lights of the palace, the whole family was happily together.Hi: आर्यन के मन में अब कोई दुविधा नहीं थी।En: Aryan no longer had any doubts.Hi: वह जान चुका था कि परिवार का असली मतलब क्या होता है।En: He realized what family truly means.Hi: परिवार के बीच अपनी बात साझा कर वह और भी आत्मविश्वासी महसूस कर रहा था।En: Sharing his feelings with the family made him feel even more confident.Hi: इस तरह, उदयपुर के उस खुशनुमा माहौल में, आर्यन ने सीखा कि जीवन में भले ही कठिनाइयाँ हों, लेकिन परिवार के साथ कदम से कदम मिलाकर चलने से हर समस्या का समाधान हो सकता है।En: In this way, in the cheerful atmosphere of Udaipur, Aryan learned that while life may have its difficulties, every problem can be solved by walking in sync with the family.

Today's episode welcomes Sahil Mehra, Head of Strategic Sales at Nooks - an AI-Powered Parallel Dialer & Virtual Salesfloor powering the best SDR and BDR teams. They help train the team, boost conversion rates, and multiply connect rates all while having fun in the Nooks platform. Sahil also has 6 years of experience running a go-to-market agency for B2B tech companies.Sahil's path to his previous agency started by working as an SDR, AE and Sales Leader in multiple tech startups. Over the years, he realized that all early stage startups suffer from the same GTM caveat - they don't have a recognisable brand.This becomes a huge inefficiency for revenue teams, as your sellers are seeing unfavorable engagement metrics across the sales process and get stuck building trust from 0. A big part of building a known brand is working with those who your ICP already trusts - that's why Sahil took a full-cycle sales approach with his clients to make sure they close logos that bring much needed credibility to new brands.If you blindly follow every LinkedIn thought leadership post when tweaking your GTM motion, you're very likely to fail. A huge portion of content has one single goal - explain why you're in pain and position a product as the solution. This often leads to people investing in methods that don't work in their market.

She's the guide through our latest conversation, where we peel back the layers of the healthcare system, contrasting the focused approach of Western medicine with the integrative nature of holistic care.

Her journey from a desire to help others to public speaking and coaching unfolds like a map for those seeking self-realization.

Adam and Joe sit down with Dr. Joseph Winberry to talk about information sciences and community-based participatory action research (CBPAR). Dr. Winberry is an Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Information and Library Science. Much of his teaching and research revolves around critical librarianship, information marginalization, and older adults. Jumping into our lightning round, [00:45] Dr. Winberry walks us through the choices and experiences that led him to the crossroads of studying CBPAR and older adults.[04:33] Winberry tells us about the important work around “information marginalization” (Gibson & Martin, 2019) that guides his research and [07:22] what action research looks like more broadly in his context. At this point, our hosts dig in deeper into his dissertation study: a CBPAR project with LGBT older adults that was [09:02] “led by the community and addressing issues that they believe are important.” First, [09:11] he shares insights on what is critical to success in an action research investigation: time, relationships and flexibility. [10:35] He then offers advice to graduate students who are considering action research as their methodology for their thesis or dissertation. Joe asks Winberry to [12:54] tell us more about what brought him to community-based participatory action research, specifically. We get to hear about how his experience with community organizing and his role at the Office on Aging informed his passion for information sciences and action-oriented research. [20:02] Winberry shares some of the key scholars that shaped his work, and we share some of those references below. [21:33] Like many action research researcher-practitioners, Winberry also [21:30] faced some pushback about doing action research as part of a dissertation and walks us through his responses to those challenges. Any listeners interested in CBPAR will want to listen [23:29] to Winberry describe the methods and steps of his CBPAR process. The work led to the development of [25:33] a strategic plan, a series of community consultations to validate that plan, and then the establishment of a committee to follow up on that plan—called the Aging Rainbow Coalition or ARC. [31:19] Winberry spends some time sharing how he handled the hurdles of working with the Institutional Review Boards (IRB) for ethics approval and the important role of informal data collection. As a final discussion, our hosts prompt Winberry to talk about [33:01] positionality and reflexivity in CBPAR. For Winberry, “how I approached the study and how it ultimately looked” was absolutely shaped by his background. What are Winberry's parting words of encouragement to future action researchers? “Don't be afraid to take risks and don't be afraid to engage the community.” And more.Thanks Dr. Winberry for reaching out to us and sharing your work.How have you found yourself in the world of action research?

Professional middle distance track racer Rebecca Mehra shares her professional running story. It's been marked by great success, two years of disappointing hurdles, to now: coming into 2024 healthy and ready, with a new perspective, new coach, and new set of training partners. Rebecca Mehra is a professional middle distance track racer, sponsored by Oiselle. She specializes in the 800 and 1500 meter. For her collegiate career, Mehra raced for the legendary running powerhouse Stanford. A year after graduation, in 2018, she became a member of Oiselle's Littlewing Athletics Elite Team, coached by former professional runner, now award-winning author Lauren Fleshman. As a new pro, Mehra's star was on the rise. She was setting PRs, going head to head in top competitions, and winning races. She was racing at top invitational meets throughout the US, and in Europe. Until 2021. Over the past few years, Mehra has experienced a series of frustrating events. Sickness and injury have set her racing plans back, time after time. There was more than one occasion when Mehra considered her career as a professional racer over. Coming into 2024, however, things began to shift.

Full transcript "We have this East Coast, West Coast dynamic going on in our industry," says Vineet Mehra, the CMO of Chime. But rather than 2Pac and Biggie, the split is between brand marketing and performance marketing — which Vineet says shouldn't be mutually exclusive. "Instead of integrating our worlds and realizing that all of this is now marketing, we have marketed marketing in an absolutely divisive way," he says, "and actually split the community as opposed to recognizing that there's just a new way of marketing and these two things need to be integrated and live together." Today on Building Better CMOs, he explains his vision for that new, integrated way, which he calls "Performance Storytelling." Vineet and MMA Global CEO Greg Stuart also talk about treating everyone as a future customer, building credibility with your CFO, and hiring for more than culture and fit. Plus: Why everyone who wants to be a marketing leader should aim to be an executive in both a big public company and a private PE- or VC-backed firm.
