AFFILIATIONS & RESEARCH

AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Peak Performance & Flow States

I apply behavioral science to help athletes master the mental mechanics of success. My approach focuses on achieving championship-level results through research-backed techniques.

Corporate & Executive Leadership

I help executives decode human behavior to build high-performing teams. I provide the tools needed to make sustainable, data-driven decisions in high-stakes environments.

Academic & Research Mentorship

As an Assistant Professor, I guide PhD and MSc students through rigorous research. I help scholars publish impactful work and complete their degrees with academic confidence.

I’m Dr. Hunny Kalra. I Help High Performers Fulfill Their Potential.

I am a Behavioral Scientist and Assistant Professor of Psychology at Jain (Deemed-to-be University)—a top-tier, NAAC A++ institution ranked 62nd (NIRF, 2025) in India.

My work is focused on producing measurable results: athletes who master flow states and dominate their respective sports, executives who make informed decisions and lead sustainable, high-performing teams, and researchers who complete their degrees with confidence and publish impactful work.

I achieve this by combining rigorous scientific research with metta— the practice of compassionate attention to your wellbeing. This isn’t just about performing well; it’s about becoming the best version of yourself while staying connected to what matters most.
