Aanandha Sharurajah

Aanandha Sharurajah is the founder and chair of Atos Wellness Group, a top beauty, spa, and wellness company based in Singapore. In 2012, as the company was reaching its peak of success with $35 million in group sales per year, he suffered a debilitating stroke that rendered his right side paralyzed. Refusing to resign himself to a tragic fate, Aanandha harnessed a forward-looking perspective and began a journey of self-discovery toward recovery.

Now a stroke advocate, he shares his story to bring hope to other survivors and provide early education to those at risk. He is a member of the Singapore National Stroke Association and was a participant at the 13th World Stroke Congress in 2021.

Aanandha’s passion for helping those in need is not limited to stroke victims. In 2002, he cycled 750 kilometers from Ipoh to Singapore in four days for charity. Between 2009 and 2011, Aanandha spearheaded a movement among spa owners to rescue over ten thousand spa customers left in a lurch after countless spas closed. His success and advocacy in business won him the Spirit of Enterprise Award in 2009.

Aanandha attended Brunel University, where he received second class honours in medicinal and agricultural chemistry. He lives in Singapore with his wife, Pathma, and two daughters, Nishta and Triynka.
