Some professionals work within systems, Prof. Rajawat’s work focuses on understanding and redesigning them where psychology, technology, and human complexity converge to create solutions that are both scalable and deeply human.
Namaste & Khama Ghani,
Prof. P. S. Rajawat is a multidisciplinary systems practitioner working across mental health, behavioural science, and emerging technologies. With doctoral research in complex human behaviour and formal training under the NIMHANS Board of Studies & Harvard Medical School, his approach integrates psychological insight with technological and policy frameworks to address real-world challenges.
His journey began in engineering, developing RF-based robots for field operations and brain-computer interfaces that enabled machines to communicate with human brains. Integrating quantum physics and AI, shaped how he now analyse human systems, as interconnected networks influenced by behaviour, context, and design. This evolved into roles across academia (as Asst. Professor at a govt. university), NGOs, and international collaborations, contributing to the design, evaluation, and scaling of behavioural and psychosocial interventions.
Across government and UN-linked programmes, he has supported initiatives reaching over 1.1 million adolescents and adults, reinforcing a core principle: sustainable impact emerges when policy, data, and lived community experience continuously inform one another.
Currently, his work runs across time zones, including corporate training for a Singapore based firm, Asia Pacific operations for a US company, and ongoing work in human behaviour. He focuses to integrate cost-effective policies using cutting-edge tech., AI, psychology into the community intervention programmes & research.
Driven by the goal of accessible and resilient mental health ecosystems, he founded ManoRaksha, an initiative dedicated to integrating psychosocial science, technological innovation, and grassroots engagement to strengthen human wellbeing across diverse contexts.
Outside formal work, curiosity remains a constant companion, so when he is not decoding human behaviour, he will be:
- 🏞️ cruising NH 44 like a nomad
- 🌲 camping in the woods
- 🥋 practicing kata and yoga
- 🎻 stretching the violin bow
- ✍️ writing things nobody requested
He welcomes thoughtful conversations with individuals and organisations working toward meaningful systems change, interdisciplinary collaboration, ethical innovations that improve human outcomes, and exchanging wilderness camping tips, let’s connect and create something meaningful, maybe mildly legendary 😉….!
INTERDISCIPLINARY JOURNEY
From Engineering to Human Systems Design
Engineering Foundations
The journey began in engineering, developing RF-based robotics for field operations and exploring brain-computer interfaces that bridged human cognition with machines. Early engagement with quantum physics and artificial intelligence shaped a systems-thinking perspective, viewing complex challenges as interconnected networks where technology and human behaviour continuously influence one another.
Behavioural Science Transition
A natural evolution toward psychology emerged from recognising that human systems drive technological outcomes. The focus shifted to behavioural science, exploring psychosocial dynamics, human complexity, and the deeper patterns that shape decision-making, resilience, and social systems.
Academic & Field Implementation
As an Assistant Professor and practitioner working with NGOs and international programmes, the work translated theory into action through the design, implementation, and evaluation of behavioural and psychosocial interventions. This phase emphasised bridging research with real-world impact, strengthening community-focused mental health and capacity-building initiatives.
Systems Integration & Impact
The current phase integrates policy, psychology, and technology to build scalable, human-centered systems. Through community-scale impact models and the ManoRaksha initiative, the focus remains on creating resilient mental health ecosystems where innovation, ethics, and lived experience converge to drive sustainable change.
ManoRaksha
(A Futuristic Psychosocial & Behavioural Transformation Ecosystem)
ManoRaksha is a futuristic psychosocial and behavioural transformation ecosystem designed to integrate psychology, technology, and community-centered innovation for sustainable human development. It focuses on building resilient mental health systems through evidence-based interventions, ethical practices, and scalable solutions that strengthen individual and collective wellbeing.
