Welcome to the last episode of season 1 of the Diversity rocks innovation! livestream and podcast! Thank you to everyone that has supported this first season.

Maneesh Kalra grew up in an Indian household in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He studied pharmacology and was about to enter med school when he had a moment that propelled him in a different direction towards Osaka, Japan. Maneesh’s experience traverses modern big business to the ancient concepts of Ayurveda. He brings his unique mix of experiences and talents to his current endeavours that seek to prepare people physically, emotionally and mentally to better handle whatever comes their way. We are pleased to welcome Maneesh as a guest speaker for the 2022 enjoi Wolfpack offering DEI discussions for men.
