About

I believe in a single, driving principle: challenging myself and others to realize our highest potential.

My approach is deeply rooted in three philosophies that guide my practice: Nichiren Buddhism affirms the inherent dignity and limitless potential of every person; Stoicism provides the tools for resilience, clarity, and rational action; and Taoism teaches me to navigate the natural flow of life’s inevitable transitions.

  • As a Leadership & Career Transition Coach, I view coaching as an art form—a trusted partnership where I help visionaries turn passion into action.
  • As a Mentor, I trust your instincts and favor natural, organic conversations focused on building sustainable capabilities.
  • As a Wellbeing Therapist, I cultivate safe, non-judgmental spaces for the deep conversations that lead to inner transformation.

My Journey

With 28 years of experience across the corporate and nonprofit sectors, my career has been defined by a commitment to continuous learning. I began in Finance, but quickly transitioned to Human Resources—recognizing that people are the true engine of any organization’s strategy.

I have designed and led people management and L&D initiatives for diverse organizations, including:

  • InterContinental Hotels Group (Holiday Inn)
  • Royal Commonwealth Society for the Blind
  • LEPRA Health In Action
  • Dr. Reddy’s Foundation

My recent work includes curating a wellness program for the aviation sector and a “Women in Leadership” program for a UK-based nonprofit.

Expertise & Academics

My practice bridges deep academic rigor with practical application. I hold an International MBA in Leadership & Entrepreneurship (Brussels, Belgium) and an MBA in Human Resources, supported by advanced academic training in Psychology (M.Phil/Masters).

I am a Certified Professional Coach (Wainwright Global) and Certified Happiness Coach (Transformation Academy), with specialized training in Mindfulness, Positive Psychology, Appreciative Inquiry, and AI for business.

I am passionate about mentorship and have also served as a Visiting Professor at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Indore, and as Adjunct Faculty at several leading business and management schools.

Corporate Facilitation

I partner with global organizations to design and deliver experiential training in:

  • Building high-performing, empathetic teams
  • Eliminating unconscious bias
  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
  • Customer-centricity and Emotional Intelligence
