What has been the most challenging part of your journey so far?

Our initial assignments were based on the strength of our past corporate backgrounds. The concept of Mentors and Coaches was not strongly established in the early days. From year 2 it was based on proof of concept of working with organisations, making an impact, getting client feedback’s and references.

We have had to keep reinventing our services and approach and evolving to meet a latent need for such professional services. That has been more fun than challenging

What has been your/your firm’s biggest achievement?

Our biggest achievements are the happy feedback’s and references from most of our clients on the Mentoring, Coaching and workshop front. Two of the organisations we mentored in the early days both scaled up rapidly and got bought over by international firms, and many of our Coaches have gone on to handle larger roles in their organisations.

We try to keep contributing and sharing our experiences through our articles which cover topics around Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Coaching, Marketing & Branding and other general topics. Some of them are published on Feelancer too and other magazines.

What are your future plans? What should clients look for in the next few years, from you?

Keep evolving our services to address a wider array of client requirements around our Core offerings.

Spread out our services to more geographies in India and internationally through our business partners and using a collaborative approach. We have serviced clients in Pune, Jaipur, Bangalore, Delhi with our presence and Gurgaon, Mumbai, Kolkata, Dubai, Abu Dhabi using technology so we feel the world is our playground going forward given that our delivery model is now tried, tested, flexible and scalable.

If you have to share a tip for success, what would that be?

As a client – Proudly wear the badge – I have a Mentor or a Coach who has transformed me.
As an entrepreneur – When you stumble, make it part of the dance.

What is the one mistake that you feel individuals must avoid?

Think I know it all. Many entrepreneurs make this one mistake thinking just because I am the founder and am so passionate about my technology or service we will succeed . A one man army cannot win a war.
