Why everything you think about ageing is wrong | Dr. Nishmita R
Ageing isn’t a decline—it’s a deepening. This talk challenges the fear and shame around growing older, inviting us to see age as a chance to grow into wisdom, not fade into irrelevance.
With insight from science and ancient philosophy, it urges us to shift from anti-ageing to pro-living—and to prepare for a future where every year is lived with function, purpose, and grace. Blending clinical expertise with deep psychological insight, Dr. Nishmita R is a compassionate and multifaceted physician whose work spans the physical, mental, and emotional dimensions of health. With an MBBS from SDM Medical College and an MD in Internal Medicine from Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute (BMCRI), she further expanded her understanding of the human condition through an MSc in Psychology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Geriatric Medicine.
Her medical journey has taken her across the full spectrum of care—from high-tech corporate hospitals to under-resourced government clinics—where she has treated patients from all walks of life with unwavering dedication. Passionate about healthy ageing, Dr. Nishmita brings a holistic, mind-body approach to elder care that prioritizes dignity, empathy, and education.
