I grew up in a quiet mountain town, dreaming of a big life, never imagining how much of it would test me, stretch me, and teach me. Yet through it all, I’ve remained deeply curious, quietly resilient, and endlessly enthusiastic about growth - 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒘, 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔.

After nearly two decades of working with some of the largest brands like HUL & Airtel, being an entrepreneur for 14 years and coaching high-performing professionals and leaders and their teams, I’ve learned something many don’t say out loud:

Success can feel exhausting.

It’s not a lack of intelligence or ambition. It’s that the mindset you inherited — to keep pushing, proving, comparing — eventually works against you.

I help senior professionals and midlife leaders build a mindfully-created mindset: one that enables mental clarity, emotional resilience, and self-belief — without burning themselves out.

My approach blends ancient wisdom, modern science, and deeply practical micro-habits to make the power of mindfulness accessible and implementable.

I speak, train, and coach individuals and organizations ready to lead from a place of presence instead of pressure.

If you’re a professional at a crossroads, an HR or L&D leader seeking impactful workshops, or simply someone curious about transforming the way you think and show up — let’s talk.

Why am I stressed even when everything is fine?


This is amongst the most common question people as ChatGPT and I thought of answering this for you. 

So here’s why

✅ Clutter to Clarity | Enabling leaders to think clearly, decide confidently & lead with calm.

I didn’t wake up one day and decide to coach. 

This work is the outcome of years spent inside pressure, ambition, brand building, startups, and eventually, deep self inquiry. 

I believe mindset is not a soft skill. It is the operating system behind every decision we make.

Book a call if you’re interested in building a mind that supports your life, not fights it.

And what better way than honouring your word. 
Keeping a promise you made to yourself is a sign of self respect. 
It stands for 'I matter'.

Calm creates clarity.
Clarity creates momentum.

Think of a lake.
When the surface is restless, ripples moving in every direction, the water turns distorted. You cannot see what lies beneath. Not because it is not there. Simply because the movement hides it.

But when the lake becomes still… something shifts. The water clears. The depth reveals itself. What was always present quietly comes into view.
Your mind works much the same way.

When thoughts are racing, when you are reacting to everything, when your inner world is crowded, clarity feels impossible. Many people assume they need better answers. Often, what they truly need is less noise.

Stillness is not emptiness. It is access.

I have noticed this with people I work with, and in my own life too 😅 . 
The moment we pause instead of pushing, the moment we breathe instead of forcing a decision, insight begins to surface. Not dramatically. Almost gently.
Clarity is rarely created. It is uncovered.

So the practice is simple, though not always easy.
Slow the mind. Let the ripples settle. Give yourself space before seeking direction.

Because a calm mind does not just think better. It sees better.

And perhaps this is worth remembering…
You do not have to control every thought. You only need to create enough quiet to hear the wiser ones.

Ending another day with a full heart & gratitude 💛

Isn't that why it's said - real leaders lead with example. 
It all starts here. For we cannot lead those outside if we cannot train our own mind to be objective.

At the age of 16, with 256 Kbps Internet speed, I started my career as a self-taught graphic designer. 

After landing a few projects, I was hungry to keep learning more, and that's how I landed in web development. 

At the age of 18, while still pursuing my education, I launched my first product around WordPress security, which did wonder. It not only paid for my entire education but helped me become financially independent as a teenager.

However, I exited that project and continued with my college and freelance development. 

At the age of 20, I met my first co-founder Oscar Hernandez (He has been my co-founder ever since in everything that we do), known as Power Up Hosting; I ran the company for over 7-years before exiting. 

At 24, I started India's first PBN Hosting platform, which I later exited in 2017. 

My life changed when I launched my third startup, which failed severely and changed my whole life. 

It taught me some of the most valuable life lessons, including management, team hiring, and more. 

The failure of my third startup gave me the idea of PitchGround (My most successful startup to date, currently valued at $20m as of 2022). PitchGround is a SaaS Marketplace that bridges the gap between early-stage SaaS companies and early adopters, small-medium-sized businesses. 

With over 92% of the SaaS companies failing in the first three years of their business, our mission was to resolve this unresolved market worth over $200 billion. 

During this journey, I met my second co-founder Lukas Liesis, building the company's core foundation. 

Launched PitchGround on the 25th of September 2018, PitchGround has done over $5m in sales as a bootstrapped company, something our entire team is proud of. 

PitchGround has helped hundreds of companies and has seen over 80% of companies succeeding who are launching with us, out of which 15% of the companies can successfully raise capital post launching their SaaS on our platform. 

At PitchGround, we firmly believe in our 3P philosophy for any founder who wants to achieve a product-market fit - Product, People & Pricing (Same format). 

In 2021, I started Angel Investment, and so far, I have invested in 36 startups; I mentor some of them to give back to the community. 

In 2022, I rebuilt my previous failure, known as https://firstsales.io, which is doing $500k ARR in just 5 months.
