How Simal Oberoi Built HerZen to Help High-Performing Women Reset, Recharge, and Truly Thrive

Meet Simal Oberoi, 3x tech founder and creator of HerZen, a wellness platform devoted to empowering women to thrive in health, career, and life through mindful leadership and practical strategy. Simal's entrepreneurial instincts run deep: she co-founded NASSCOM, which has grown into a global organization shaping the tech ecosystem, and built CareerWellness to high six figures in its first year through referrals alone. Her work was born from watching companies optimize relentlessly for performance while consistently overlooking the people behind it.

HerZen exists to close that gap. Designed around a 7-minute daily reset, the platform makes wellness simple, scalable, and built for the pace of real life. In 2025, HerZen won the Calm Couture Crest at New York Fashion Week, and Simal was honored with the Legendary Women of Impact Award, recognition that reflects exactly what she has been building toward all along.
