Does this sound familiar?

You don’t need more motivation. You need a clear next step.

  • “On paper I’m doing well, but I wake up dreading Mondays.”
  • “I know I want a change. I just don’t know what, or where to begin.”
  • “My business depends on me for every decision, and I’m exhausted.”
  • “I lead a team, but I keep second-guessing how I show up.”

If one of these landed, a 30-minute conversation will help. Book your free discovery call →

Meet your coach

Hi, I’m Ananya. I’ve sat where you are sitting.

I spent twelve years in HR and leadership development at a Bengaluru software company, helping other people grow while quietly ignoring my own questions. When I finally made my own career change, I realised how rarely anyone gives you the space to think it through.

Today I coach managers, specialists and founders who want to make a meaningful shift without burning everything down. My style is warm, direct and practical. You will leave every session with a clear thought, a decision or a small action to try.

  • MBA in Strategy and Marketing; certified in strengths and leadership assessments

Good questions

Before you book

What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

Coaching is forward-looking and focused on goals, decisions and action. Therapy supports mental health and healing from the past. If I feel you would benefit from a therapist, I will tell you honestly and refer you to a trusted professional.

How do online sessions work?

Sessions take place on video call at a time that suits you, including evenings and Saturdays. You receive a short summary and your next steps after every session.

How soon will I see results?

Most clients feel clearer after the first two sessions. Larger outcomes such as a new role or a restructured business typically take 8 to 16 weeks of consistent work.

Is everything I share confidential?

Yes. Our conversations follow the International Coaching Federation code of ethics. For corporate programs, only the goals agreed with your company are shared.

What if I am not sure coaching is right for me?

That is what the free discovery call is for. If we are not a good fit, I will say so and point you in a better direction.
