Cannes, France – June 18, 2025 — Dr. Ddnard Napattalung, a leading investor, economist, and founder of the Zoul mental wellness platform , joined the World Woman Cannes Agenda at Cannes Lions 2025 to discuss what women worldwide now expect from brands. The session addressed trends showing that global female consumers increasingly seek authenticity, inclusion, and genuine emotional transformation from the brands they choose.
Dr. Ddnard, also known for her bestselling book The Compass of Life, was invited alongside global leaders and visionaries. Her keynote emphasized that mental wellness is now “essential infrastructure”—not optional—for individuals, organizations, and nations.
“Zoul is a mental infrastructure that every country needs,” Dr. Ddnard stated, as reported in Forbes Magazine.
Zoul integrates neuroscience and Eastern wisdom into a mental health technology platform. The app provides guided meditations, affirmations, and emotional support in 17 languages, and is available in conflict regions such as Syria, Palestine, and Ukraine.
HELLO! Feature on Dr. Ddnard
HELLO! Magazine spotlights Dr. Ddnard for her visionary role in founding Zoul, a global mental wellness platform that unites neuroscience and meditation to deliver compassionate healing through technology.

According to HELLO!, Zoul embodies the harmony between Eastern wisdom and modern science, reflecting Dr. Ddnard’s lifelong mission to bridge spirituality, innovation, and emotional well-being.
Mental Wellness Tech with Purpose
Zoul is regarded as a passion-driven project. According to Forbes Magazine the platform currently holds a $222 million USD valuation, supported by $37 million in funding and a team of nearly 100 people with operations in London and Dubai.
“The starting point of Zoul was not business—it was passion,” Dr. Ddnard shared.
Zoul addresses recovery from financial trauma, burnout, and emotional exhaustion, focusing on privacy, personalization, and therapeutic depth for founders, executives, and entrepreneurs.
Mission to Reach 100 Million Users
While self-development events such as Tony Robbins’ Date with Destiny can cost up to $15,000 USD per person, Zoul’s approach is digital-first and priced for accessibility, with an annual fee of $25 USD. The stated goal is to reach 100 million users in the coming two years.
“Zoul is a daily positivity companion. Just as the body needs food and cleansing, so does the mind,” Dr. Ddnard explained to Forbes.
