Sapien Labs Announces the Launch of Samuh: A New Venture for Sustained High Performance in Organizations

April 7, 2025

Arlington, VA – Sapien Labs is proud to introduce Samuh, a pioneering venture dedicated to redefining high performance in organizations through the science of mind health.

Co-founded by Sapien Labs, along with Rahul Varma, former CHRO of Accenture Technology, and Calina Mircea, an experienced leadership coach, Samuh blends cutting-edge insights on human performance with the craft of talent management and the timeless wisdom of rituals to elevate wellbeing and performance.

In today’s workplace, where burnout and disengagement diminish productivity, Samuh offers a fundamentally different approach—shifting from short-term, individual fixes to fostering sustained, collective performance. It draws on Sapien Labs’ breakthrough mind health measurement tools and globally recognized research on the complex relationship between work culture, mental wellbeing, and performance.

Dr. Tara Thiagarajan, Founder of Sapien Labs said, “Samuh brings an innovative approach that leverages Sapien Labs tools and research into what drives the wellbeing and capability of the human mind, and how people are able to come together in a way that is greater than the sum of the parts.”

The name Samuh, derived from Sanskrit, means “a group of people coming together for a larger purpose”—a reflection of its focus on teams and vision to create sustainable performance at scale.

“Samuh is about reconnecting with the fundamental conditions that drive performance—by embedding rituals within the flow of team work and leveraging scientifically validated tools to sustain measurable results,” said Rahul Varma, Co-founder and CEO of Samuh.

With Samuh, organizations will gain the science-backed tools and strategies needed to cultivate performance that is not just exceptional, but enduring—creating workplaces where people thrive, collectively and consistently.
