About me


I am a mother, a wife, an IT Professional of 20 years; and a certified Life coach.

I am passionate about helping people in unlocking their potential and realizing their aspirations. As a life coach, I offer tailored guidance and support, empowering my clients to overcome challenges and make significant positive transformations in their lives.

What inspired me to be a Coach

Growing up in rural India was certainly not the smoothest experience; especially as a girl in a society laden with additional layers of social pressure. There existed a lengthy list of societal norms that I found myself constantly questioning, challenging, and often rebelling against. Despite my parents' efforts to navigate between societal expectations and my incessant curiosity, I craved more understanding and clarity.

It was through books that I found solace and enlightenment. Immersing myself in fiction, non-fiction, autobiographies, travelogues, and self-help literature provided the clarity I sought. Books became my sanctuary, offering answers to my questions and bolstering my self-confidence.

Leaving home for education after high school, exposed me to diverse perspectives and life experiences. Observing and understanding human behaviour became second nature to me, allowing me to develop a deep understanding of emotional needs, personality traits, and challenges.

This exposure provided invaluable insights into human psychology and behaviour patterns, enriching my understanding beyond what books could offer alone.

Journey as a coach

Armed with both theoretical knowledge from literature and practical insights gained from real-life interactions, I quickly became known within my social circle as a trusted advisor in life skills. At the young age of 18, I found myself guiding others in decision-making, problem-solving, goal setting, and overcoming limiting beliefs.

My journey continued as I broke barriers and defied societal expectations, becoming the first girl from my village to pursue engineering, seek employment in a big city, and eventually venture overseas. Since 2006, I have been working as an IT professional, seizing opportunities to support my colleagues in honing their corporate skills, such as presentation techniques, team dynamics, and leadership skills.

Within the corporate realm, I have furthered my impact by offering group coaching in personal development, team cohesion, and high-performance strategies.

Additionally, I conduct workshops on popular self-help literature, such as Stephen Covey's 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,' empowering individuals to unleash their full potential."

In year 2020, I received encouragement to formalize my coaching abilities into the field of life coaching, leading me to obtain certification in January 2021.

And here I am now, with Goals Direct Coaching, to help people beyond my corporate reach.
