The Human Edge of High Performance | World Mental Health Day 2026
On the occasion of World Mental Health Day 2026, Tata Power Renewables hosted a thought-provoking fireside chat on “The Human Edge of High Performance” exploring how we can build resilience, nurture wellbeing and achieve sustainable success without compromising our mental health.
The session was held as part of our holistic wellbeing framework, ‘A Fuller Life’, our commitment to creating a culture where people feel supported, empowered and equipped to thrive, both personally and professionally.
Moderated by Ms. Anupama Ratta, Chief – Human Resources & ES&A, TPREL & DEI, Tata Power, the conversation brought together two distinguished voices:
Ms. Anisha Padukone, CEO, The Live Love Laugh Foundation and
Prof. Asha Banu Soletti, Professor at Centre for Health and Mental Health, School of Social Work, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai discussed on the conventional notions of high performance, highlighting that success is not about constantly pushing harder, but about sustaining our energy, recognising our needs and creating environments where people can thrive.
Key reflections from the conversation:
- Resilience is preparation, not just bouncing back. Anticipating high-pressure periods, taking breaks and seeking support can help us navigate stress more effectively.
- Wellbeing is a shared responsibility. Individual self-care matters, but so do workplace cultures, inclusive policies and systems that address the root causes of stress.
- Asking for help is a strength. Creating safe spaces for honest conversations helps break stigma and reminds us that no one has to navigate challenges alone.
- One size does not fit all. Different people, generations and working styles need different forms of support and flexibility.
- Care is a leadership behaviour. A simple “How are you?” followed by genuine listening can make a meaningful difference.
The conversation reinforced an important truth: high performance is not a sprint; it is a marathon. Sustainable success comes when people feel supported, included and empowered to bring their best selves to work.
Through A Fuller Life, we continue to strengthen our commitment to holistic wellbeing, recognising that mental health is integral to how we live, work, connect and perform.
Because at Tata Power Renewable Energy, we believe that a healthier mind, a supportive workplace and a culture of care are essential to building a fuller life and a brighter, more sustainable future.
