I know what it feels like to look successful on the outside but feel unsuccessful on the inside.
From one of India’s most prestigious MBA institutes (IIM Ahmedabad) to senior roles at P&G, PepsiCo, GSK, and global non-profits like Akshaya Patra and WWF — my life checked every box. Top schools, enviable roles, fast promotions, a wonderful family. On paper, I was thriving.
Inside, I felt stuck, anxious, and oddly unworthy of the very success I had created.
For years, I tried fixing the problem in the only way I knew — by changing the circumstances. I switched jobs. I even switched careers, hoping the next role would finally feel right, would finally fix the unease. Each change gave temporary relief, but the same self-doubt, pressure, and exhaustion always returned.
My breakthrough came when I discovered coaching. I realised I had been solving the wrong problem entirely.
The issue wasn’t the job, the boss, or the industry.
The issue was the fuel driving my success: perfectionism, fear of judgment, and a deep need for external validation.
My whole success engine was running on pressure — and it was burning me out.
Working with my coach, I learned to change that fuel. I learned to validate myself instead of chasing approval, to embrace imperfection instead of fearing it, and to trust my voice instead of seeking permission. As I shifted from fear-fuelled striving to self-trust-fuelled action, everything changed. I began noticing strengths I’d never seen before and showing up with a calm confidence I had never experienced.
For the first time in my life, I felt successful on the inside — not because of a title or salary, but because success finally felt like mine.
That shift transformed everything: my career, my relationships, my parenting, and my ability to prioritise myself without guilt.
Now, as a certified coach, I help ambitious professionals do the same.
I work with incredibly smart, accomplished people who have stopped enjoying work — and, at a deeper level, have stopped trusting themselves. I help them change the fuel powering their success, shed the self-doubt and pressure that keep them stuck, and reconnect with their truest, highest potential.
Because when you change the fuel, you change your results.
And when you change who you’re being — not just what you’re doing — your entire career trajectory shifts.
My coaching goes far deeper than traditional career advice. Most career coaching focuses on the “what next” — the role, the promotion, the external move. I focus on the “who” — the inner patterns, beliefs, and identity driving your decisions. Without inner change, the same fears follow you into every new job. With inner change, any job can become your runway.
With over 1,000 coaching hours and leadership experience across Fortune 500 companies, non-profits, and entrepreneurship, I bring both corporate insight and deep transformational tools to every session. My approach blends mindset, somatic awareness, and neuroscience-based coaching with practical career strategy, so every session is focused, powerful, and actionable.
At the heart of my work is a spiritual grounding that brings calm, joy, and compassion into every conversation. I love this work. Watching clients shed pressure, step into courage, and create careers that finally feel good is the greatest privilege of my life.
When I am not coaching or researching, you’ll find me journalling with my coffee, cuddling my dog Simba (he is the goodest boy ever!), being silly with my husband and daughters, or enjoying jigsaw puzzles, long walks and long chats with my loved ones. I’m still on my own journey — messy, human, and always learning. And I believe that’s exactly what makes me a good coach.
