India's senior leaders are, by most measures, performing. Yet beneath the surface of resilience lies a more complex picture: one of compromised sleep, blurred work boundaries, chronic unpredictability and an underutilisation of support that most would hesitate to acknowledge. The question is no longer whether CXOs are under pressure; it is whether the way they are managing that pressure is sustainable.

In this session, Adit Jain, Chairman and Editorial Director, IMA India will present and discuss the findings of IMA India's 2026 CXO Personal Wellbeing Survey, a study of approximately 300 CXOs conducted in early 2026. Drawing on data across designations, age groups and gender, Adit will unpack what the numbers reveal about how India's most senior executives actually live: how long they work, how well they sleep, how they cope under pressure, and how they seek, or avoid, support. The session will move beyond the data to explore what organisations and leaders themselves can do differently, and what it means to move from endurance to intentional, sustainable wellbeing.
