Dr. Komal Shah Kapoor is a researcher, writer, and serial social impact entrepreneur whose work sits at the intersection of culture, wellness, and human connection. Her journey into wellness began not in a studio, but through research and lived experience. At SpaFinder, she co-authored the first Global Spa Economy Report with SRI International – foundational work that helped shape what is now the Global Wellness Institute. She also published the India Spa Trends Report, blending data with cultural insight and earning recognition in global publications including Forbes Traveler. Driven by a deep curiosity about identity and belonging, she founded Cook Aunty in New York City – well ahead of its time. Inspired by her doctoral research, the platform celebrated a powerful truth: for many immigrants, food is the last thread of cultural identity to go. Today, she is the founder & CEO of SpeakerPost, a platform that connects industry professionals with classrooms around the world, expanding access, representation, and possibility for students everywhere. She is also the voice behind Green Sea Shells, a digital publication rooted in the belief that the most sacred forms of wellness are the quietest ones – found in culture, storytelling, rituals, and connection. Dr. Kapoor’s work is grounded in a simple philosophy: wellness is not something we chase – it’s something we remember.
