About Menka


Menka Sanghvi is an author, researcher, social entrepreneur, mindfulness expert, contemplative photographer and mum who is exploring one question: "How can we be more human in this digital age?"

Menka has an extensive background in meditation and mindfulness, as well as creativity, technology and innovation. She originally graduated as a physicist and philosopher of science from Cambridge University and then went on to become the co-founder of the Impact Hub and lead projects for organisations such as the United Nations and the World Wildlife Fund.

After turning her focus fully to inner development, she became the innovation lead for the policy institute Mindfulness Initiative and co-created the Awards for Mindfulness Innovations. She is considered a thought leader in making mindfulness and compassion training more widely accessible.

Menka is the founder of the global community project Just Looking and its independent publishing arm. As part of this, she writes a popular monthly newsletter called Noticing. She is also an advisor to Mind Over Tech and the author of Your Best Digital Life, which will be released in April 2025.
