Vickum Nawagamuwage

-Entrepreneur & Founder of Santani

Vickum Nawagamuwage is the founder of Santani, a globally acclaimed wellness resort recognized by Time, Vogue, Forbes, Conde Nast Traveler, and Tatler. Educated at Harvard and the University of Maryland, Vickum worked in strategy at Deloitte and KPMG before shifting focus to tackle the root causes of modern mental health struggles. He developed the philosophy of Human Sustainability- an approach that reframes mental and spiritual wellbeing as essential components of human evolution. Vickum argues that today’s stress epidemic stems from an evolutionary mismatch: our minds are not equipped for the cognitive overload of the digital age. Rather than treating symptoms, he advocates for a preventative healthcare model that prioritizes mental and spiritual fitness. Santani brings this vision to life, helping people reach their full potential through sustainable wellbeing.
