About Me

Namaskaram!

I’m Dhruv Mahajan, and I’m thrilled to have you visit my corner of the digital world. Thank you for taking an active interest in my work. My hope is that, through my musings and creations, I can bring a smile to your face. 😊

As is customary, let’s start with a label: I’m an entrepreneur with a mission to create a world where everyone is mentally and emotionally healthy. It’s a complex challenge, but I believe the true value of life lies in solving meaningful problems, no matter how daunting they may seem.

Here’s how I articulate my vision:
To enable sustained happiness for diverse demographics by designing experiences that deliver play-based education for mental and emotional well-being, grounded in Indic sciences, through interactive digital media.

That’s a lot to unpack—let me break it down for you:

Solving for Mental and Emotional Well-Being

Growing up, happiness was a central theme in my family. My father often reminded me that happiness isn’t something to chase; it’s a conscious choice we make every day. Over time, I realized there’s a science to happiness—one that many are unaware of. This realization inspired me to dedicate my life to helping others cultivate sustainable happiness.

Drawing from Indic Sciences

My journey has taken me across diverse traditions in search of the best approaches to well-being. I’ve trained in Shaolin Kungfu, attended psychedelic therapy retreats in Latin America, become a certified yoga instructor in Southern India, undergone therapy rooted in Western psychology, and immersed myself in philosophy.
Through these experiences, I’ve discovered that indigenous knowledge systems often hold profound insights into well-being that modern psychology is only beginning to grasp. As a species, we don’t need to reinvent the wheel—our traditional systems already provide the blueprint for healthy living. The challenge lies in building the science around these practices and sharing them efficiently.

Designing Educational Experiences

The key to sharing the science of well-being is through education. As I explored how to disseminate this knowledge, I delved into global education systems to understand why they aren’t centered on well-being and how we can reimagine them. While it’s relatively straightforward to create effective small-scale educational experiences, scaling them up presents a unique challenge.

Leveraging Interactive Digital Media

Technology is the ultimate tool of our era, and it enables us to deliver high-quality, personalized education at scale. However, wellness education must also be engaging. The pursuit of happiness can feel hollow if the process isn’t enjoyable. This led me to embrace games as the ideal medium for creating fun, impactful, and scalable well-being interventions.

In a Nutshell

I’m a video game designer passionate about creating play-based education and wellness experiences. On this website, you’ll find some of my games and projects—each designed with the hope of bringing joy and well-being to your life.
