Hi, I am Isha. I support high-achievers and successful leaders find their own personal style of leadership that is both effective and fulfilling.
Beginnings
What started as a leadership development program and coaching journey for me to become a better leader in 2018, also ended up being a catalyst for personal growth and exposed me to the power of coaching. I transitioned to coaching full-time in 2022 as part of designing a personally meaningful life.
My coaching philosophy is rooted in a deep understanding of diverse organizational dynamics across various industries and stages of maturity, from my early consulting days at McKinsey to co-founding Jugnoo, a successful auto-rickshaw aggregator in India. Before fully transitioning to coaching, I spearheaded strategic initiatives at Hero Motocorp, including setting up their Innovation Cell from the ground up.
Apart from being an ICF-certified (PCC) professional coach, I hold a B.Tech. in Chemical Engineering from IIT Delhi and a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. I have coached leaders working at corporates, startups (including founders and CXOs spanning from Series A to unicorns), think tanks, and business owners.
My coaching style is deeply influenced by principles of curiosity and mindfulness, strengthened by five years of Vipassana meditation practice and RYT200 Yoga training, enabling me to help clients explore and effectively lead from within.

Neeraj S. (Co-founder, Unicorn startup)
“She remembered each and every conversation and used that info in every session to reflect back on things I said/ committed, it helped me stay on course. For the entire duration, she was deeply involved and cared for my focus of growth.”
Athul KV (Product Leader, Lummo)
“Isha is truly one of the best listeners I have ever come across. Her ability to decipher actual cause vs reaction to what I think was the cause helped identify the intricacies of the mind behavioral patterns and how it shapes my mood and overall well-being.”
My wish for you…
…is to live a life with intention and without regrets. I have a journaling app with daily prompts, which repeat every year. One of the questions asks “If you die today, what regrets would you have?” In 2021, when I couldn’t think of anything to write there, that’s when it hit me! I was living more intentionally and was feeling content despite a few ambiguities. Yes, I had dreams and some desires, but I had more courage and confidence in myself to take charge. And I would like to support you to get started on this journey as well.
