Praveen Saanker
Founder and Director
Praveen Saanker is the founder of Vedicology Advisors, a practice based in Chennai and Dubai. It works on the deeper human questions wealth creates for Indian families — about identity, purpose, succession, legacy, and what a family actually wants from what it has built.
He spent over two decades in senior roles in wealth management and private banking. He was Senior Vice President at HSBC India, overseeing advisory relationships across South India. At ASK Wealth Advisors, he was a Director in the Family Wealth and Family Office Advisory division, and part of the founding team.
His qualifications span finance and the mind. He holds a doctorate in clinical psychology and a Master's in Counselling from the University of Canterbury, an Executive MBA from IMD Business School, and an MBA in Finance from the University of Madras.
He co-founded Vedicology Foundation with Vandana Praveen in 2024. For him, the Foundation is a direct expression of a conviction that runs through all his work: that wealth held without a sense of stewardship is not fully understood.
