Indian women navigate racialised institutional expectations, gendered cultural norms, and emotional labour that directly affect wellbeing. Existing integration models overlook how power, belonging and misrecognition shape women\u2019s mental health in everyday life.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study examines how highly skilled Indian immigrant women in the Netherlands negotiate cultural, emotional and professional identities; how they experience racialised institutional norms; and what strategies they use to sustain wellbeing within unequal social and workplace environments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A qualitative study using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), we conducted semi-structured interviews with 12 highly skilled Indian women aged 24 to 49 years (residing 2\u20138 years).

These findings culminate in the concept of Emotional Simultaneity, the continuous coexistence of conflicting emotional and cultural demands.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Highly skilled Indian women\u2019s wellbeing is an ongoing, relational process shaped by structural power and emotional negotiation.
