Empowering Potential
There is the higher life to which we awaken, and, it is this quest for the higher life that gives our life a meaning, a purpose! Let’s connect as you embark on your purpose driven quest!
What does Quest Awaken Signify?
Derived from the Latin root “ques”, meaning “seek; look for; ask”, a quest is an intentional journey toward a specific mission or a goal, whether it is the quest for meaning / purpose, or manifesting our infinite potential into limitless possibilities or awakening to a higher life by being the best version of who we are and who we want to be.
Whatever our quest, big or small, is unique to us and gives our life a meaning, a purpose and an awakening.

More about founder
Growing up in the embrace of a vibrant large family, where daily life blended moments of celebrations and conflicts under one roof; coupled with the ‘unconditional love’ of my parents, my first mentors – provided me a nurturing environment – to freely express myself, discuss daily life lessons, ignite my curiosity through reading, and embark on an inner journey of introspection and growth. This shaped my journey of ‘Inner Work’ and ‘Self-Coaching’ — a path marked by reflection, deep listening to my inner voice, and intentional action.
INNER EXPERIENCES
In both personal and professional realms, I’ve encountered a spectrum of experiences—from successes to setbacks, each offering profound lessons. These experiences have catalyzed incremental growth as well as transformational shifts within me, across multiple dimensions—roles I play in life, cultural contexts, relationships, life and leadership philosophy, purpose, identity and many more. Each phase felt like – orbiting me out of my comfort zone, and towards – unlocking my boundless potential through self discovery, self mastery and living a purposeful and meaningful life.
This ebb and flow of people and experiences in my life, as if part of some sublime learning plan, shaped my ‘values and beliefs’ around respect, courage, compassion, authenticity, and upholding healthy boundaries. These principles guide my inner wisdom and daily discernment around life choices, always aiming for the greater collective good!
I am driven by purpose and thrive on co-creating a meaningful impact. My core values – Courage, Compassion, and Connection – are woven into my ‘lifelong learner’ mindset. My natural self finds expression in reading, writing poetry, painting, dancing, meditation and quiet contemplation during nature walks. Each of these, along with my professional work, fuels my spirit!
PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY
My professional journey spans across industries and global/regional leadership roles, driving organizational development, change management, and fostering inclusive cultures for sustainable growth by successfully navigating cultural complexities with agility and resilience and building diverse & high performing teams. I have been a trusted advisor to executives, a credible business partner to my stakeholders, and an authentic & inspirational leader to my teams. My strengths lie in being a subject matter expert, a coach, and a partner who fosters accountability to ensure all initiatives have a positive and lasting impact.
I am passionate about empowering individuals and organizations to unravel and reach their full potential. This translates into my work and calling – as a Transformational Coach – even if it is one person, one team, one interaction, one day at a time.
CREDENTIALS
With over two decades of corporate experience, I bring a unique blend of depth and breadth to my coaching and consulting. As a Professional Certified Coach, Systemic Team Coach, Associate Certified Coach (ICF) and a certified NLP practitioner with a background in Physics and Human Resource & Organizational Development, I leverage multiple tools / frameworks to co-create impactful experiences around Integrated Talent Solutions, driving mid to large scale Transformation and Change journeys for sustainable business growth, and Transformational Coaching.
