Professional Bio

I am a Leadership Coach and Wellness Consultant for individuals and organisations, enabling change where decisions carry weight.

With over 5,000 hours of one-on-one Coaching experience, I've worked with professionals across industries and roles. My work focuses on reflective insight that emerges when individuals and teams dive within rather than looking for answers outside. Through sharp, well-placed prompts and relevant resources, I support my clients identify and challenge the autopilot, and move towards awareness and intentionality.

My background in experiential education, positive psychology and emotional intelligence shapes the undertones of my work - grounded, open-ended and uplifting.

The Himalayan expeditioner in me brings stories and references of grit, resilience and leadership in critical environments.

My Values

Humility

My mother taught me this early on. It helps me stay grounded, approachable and open to learning.

Authenticity

It reflects in my work and life - I find it important to speak the right thing, even if it's not the easiest.

Respect

The basic human value, often overlooked in the distracted world we live in today.

The Road Here

My journey into coaching did not begin in a classroom or certification program. It began outdoors — in unfamiliar places, long conversations, and moments of uncertainty.

The corporate beginning

I began my journey as a Computer Science engineer from BITS, Pilani, eventually working as a Business Analyst. While I enjoyed my work, I found myself increasingly drawn toward the outdoors, travel, and experiences that felt more alive and meaningful. What began as curiosity eventually turned into a decision to step away from the predictability of corporate life and explore a different path.

The outdoors phase

That exploration took time. In many ways, it took me nearly five years — and an 81-day journey through the Himalayas — to truly understand what I was searching for.

My love for the outdoors led me to launch an experiential travel venture, which became my first real experience of building and running something of my own. Somewhere along the way, I was introduced to the world of experiential education, training, and facilitation — and something clicked.

I began working as an outdoor educator and outbound trainer, designing and facilitating learning experiences for corporates, schools, and young learners across the country. Over a year and a half, I worked with several organisations and nearly 1,500 children through nature-based learning programs focused on themes like empathy, teamwork, resilience, and self-awareness. The work was immersive, unpredictable, and deeply fulfilling.

Then came COVID. Programs paused, projects disappeared, and like many others, I found myself back at a crossroads.

COVID and Coaching

What helped me through that phase was coaching. More specifically, being coached. It shifted how I looked at uncertainty, identity, and possibility. Encouraged, I moved my L&D work online, and gingerly began exploring coaching. One client led to another. The work deepened. So did my curiosity.

I still remember working closely with a friend living with multiple sclerosis — speaking with his neurosurgeon, understanding the possibilities ahead of him, and supporting him in regaining a sense of control and direction in life. That experience fundamentally changed the way I looked at coaching and human potential.

Over time, individuals, teams, and organisations continued to place their trust in my work. Engagements grew. Certifications followed. Calendars slowly filled. As I write this today, my coaching log stands at over 5,153 one-on-one hours — something I still pause and feel grateful for.

The outdoors continue to shape me deeply.

The mountains

From silent walks in the mountains to long rides on unfamiliar roads, nature has influenced how I think, listen, and relate to the world. In 2017, I completed a solo trek to Everest Base Camp. Even today, in moments of chaos or overwhelm, I often find myself revisiting the quiet stretch between Lobuche and Dingboche, with Mt. Ama Dablam standing still in the distance — a sight difficult to describe in words, but impossible to forget.

I continue to take one Himalayan expedition every year. The mountains, their silence, and the people I meet along the way often find their way into my coaching and facilitation work — through stories of resilience, perspective, leadership, and the shared human experience.

Family

And through it all, my family remains my deepest grounding force. My deepest lessons in presence and perspective come from home. Becoming a father has opened up newer questions, reflections, and ways of being that I am still learning from every day.
