What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?

I work with founders, mostly in IT, marketing, finance, and health, to create personal brands that reflect their story and vision. Being an entrepreneur and CEO myself, I understand how other CEOs want to showcase themselves. My approach is hands-on, ensuring every founder stands out and connects authentically with their audience, especially within the Indian market. I don’t teach branding; I partner with founders to create a lasting impact through their personal brand.

What according to you has been the most critical thing that has contributed to your success as a coach? 

Critical Factor in Your Success: The key to my success as a coach is my deep understanding of the Indian market and the specific needs of founders in IT, marketing, finance, and health. Being an entrepreneur and CEO, I know how other CEOs want to present themselves. I’ve developed a personalized method that aligns a founder’s brand with their true identity and values. This authenticity is what sets my coaching apart, allowing my clients to build brands that resonate deeply with their audience and stand the test of time.

What do you do differently, or how is your coaching different from others?

Drawing on my own experiences and expertise from climbing the corporate career ladder, my approach is grounded in brand research and strategy techniques. I blend data and external input with internal, guided discovery to define and reflect back to the leaders how they, uniquely, show up in the world and the distinct value and impact this creates for those around them. We use this to develop intentional brand language and strategies that then help clients build confidence in their personal brand and put it to work serving their teams, companies, and future ambitions.

What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?

While most coaches are not writers, I find that my ability to combine in-session guided reflection together with capturing the voices of my clients in clear, concise brand statements and language is what adds the most value for my clients. Even the best writers struggle to describe themselves, and giving clients language they can see themselves in, believe in, and own, is a great gift with a great value that sets me apart.
