You're looking at leaders of tomorrow. Each one, a story in making. Each one, a story of passion, quiet courage and ambition. 

Last week, I had the honour of hosting these powerhouse women for Mogul's Mingle #4 — my dinner series aimed at celebrating the future women leaders in tech and business. 

I had carefully curated this group - and oh! it worked. 😍

Majority of them had quit their jobs (some previous day, or previous week haha!) and were charting a new unique path, one step at a time. 

Rest were either launching something of their own, or tinkering with ideas. 

I firmly believe that the next two decades belong to women leaders and business owners in India (and I'm glad I'm playing a tiny role in powering that movement <3). 

We played games, shared stories, and even built ridiculous product ideas (all without anyone using ChatGPT 😉)

We laughed till our cheeks hurt, and left feeling a little lighter, braver, and more connected. 

Because...

Together, we rise. 
Together, we create spaces for more ambitious women. 
Together, we can create a world designed for women to thrive. 

I'm so grateful to Offlyn for their amazing app. Phalgun for his amazing space The Drafting Room in Koramangala. 

Big hugs and thanks to Aileen and Sanghamitra for their incredible food spread that everyone raved about, and friends at Local Ferment Co for the most refreshing kombucha. 

None of this would happen without these partners. 

And guess what - Mogul's Mingle will be back in January! 
I'm curating 20 spots. 

Ladies, please DM me or reply below. 🥰

No notes. Just travelling solo across Japan for the next 2 weeks.

No alternative text description for this image

My career in one sentence: The fastest way to get invited into powerful rooms is to make yourself valuable enough that rooms seek you.

(Btw, read that again!)

Let me break down what this means: 

👉 I started Physics Club in April 2021 

Within a week, I onboarded 200+ active members. People saw that I was doing something which was unheard of.

👉 I started Mogul's Mingle in September 2023 

I've hosted 71 women so far. Ambitious women see how intentionally and passionately I'm building this space. 

👉 I started Founder's Cubbon Walks February 2025

I have 700+ founders in my email list at this point. They keep requesting guests. 

People see that I'm enabling the ecosystem even when I don't have to. 


I'm not suggesting that you start your own community (haha it's not that easy)... 

I'm saying: 

I've not done any of this to get into so called "elite" circles.

I was trying to create value.
And value is what opens doors.

You cannot "network" your way into getting outcomes anymore. 
"Chasing validation" will drain you faster than anything. 

So just doing do meaningful work that makes people say, “I want to be part of whatever she’s building.”

When your work speaks loudly enough, rooms stop being gatekept - they become accessible.

I'm SICK of "just put yourself on the internet" advice. 🤢 It's so misleading. 

Randomly posting anything won't change your life or career.  Never has, never will. 

We started with "personal branding" and now all people do is constantly try to "brand" themselves.

This is why almost every corner of the internet feels so saturated and sterile. 

In fact, we overdid authenticity too. 

Because now, there are 1001 ideas being sold for $7 on how to fake authenticity. 🤷‍♀️

So what do we do? 

Where do we go from here? 

DO WHATEVER YOU DO WITH INTENTION. 

(Yep, I screamed that!)

The edge is having an interesting life and then writing about that interesting life.

Not "10 ways I changed my life as a 19 year-old" but tell the world why you've started to read the newspaper again. 

The edge will now be in connecting the dots. 

In doing the hard work. 

Kinda ironice, right? 

That AI was supposed to make writing online and creating content easier and now we will have to work 10x harder to completely reinvent ourselves to actually gather any kind of community. 

A better advice would be: 

Put yourself on the internet because you have something out-of-the-ordinary to say. 

Otherwise you're just another floating voice. 

And no-one likes to be that.

An observation after meeting 300+ founders this year: The real founder loneliness isn’t emotional. It’s intellectual.

Almost no founder is short on motivation; they’re short on people they can actually think with. 

In my Founder Cubbon Walks and 1:1 conversation, I've heard things like:

> "Half the time I don’t ask for help because I don’t want my uncertainty to become part of my reputation."
> "My biggest questions sound stupid on paper, but they’re blocking me more than any strategy problem."
> "Having founder friends is a privilege I don't have."

Most of the questions they carry are not existential or strategic - they’re practical, daily, messy decisions. 

And founders don't know where to go with them? 

Investors aren’t always the right people for these questions because the fear of “looking uncertain” is real, and the answers often come packaged in frameworks instead of usable direction. 

Operators who could help are buried in their own worlds, and peers who understand the context deeply enough are hard to find. 

So founders end up thinking through everything alone, even when they shouldn’t have to.

The truth is, founders aren’t scared of hard work; they’re scared of working in a vacuum. 

The companies that move fastest are often led by founders who have at least one person they can think aloud with - someone who understands and respects their messy middle. 

Founders, do you feel the same?

In my next post, I'll be writing about actually useful ways to find your tribe who "get" you. 

Stay tuned :)

Founders, if you feel like you don't have anyone to think through problems with ... here are a few strategies that work:  

I've collected advice from founders who've felt this and solved it for themselves in some way:

1️⃣ Former founders who've exited. 

They have nothing to prove and no agenda. A founder told me her best sounding board is someone who sold his company 3 years ago and now just wants to think through hard problems. 

She wrote him a message with a very contextual problem and that's how they started talking.  

2️⃣ Peers 12-18 months ahead. Not 5 years ahead - the problems are too different. Someone who just navigated what you're about to face remembers the messy middle.

3️⃣ Avoid experts everyone focuses on (this one's my favourite!)

One founder told me: "Everyone wants time with the same 3-4 VCs/experts. Even if I got 30 minutes, I'd just get their polished frameworks - the stuff they've said publicly a hundred times."

Instead, he found another founder at a small event. Both fundraising, both figuring out similar problems in real-time. They grabbed coffee to debrief. Now it's a monthly thing.

----

Finally, how to vet people before opening up to them👇🏻

Start with a small question. And see if they: 

- Ask questions instead of jumping to advice
- Challenge your thinking without making you feel stupid
- Make you feel sharper after talking

If any of these fail, keep looking.


♻️ Repost this to help more founders.

I cried after an in-person event. That day, I learned that loyalty at work shouldn't be one-sided.
(I’ve never talked about this):

It wasn’t a big incident.
No massive conflict or harsh feedback.

It was the tone - the kind that makes you realise you care about the work far more than the person speaking to you cares about you.

I was showing up with intent, effort, and ownership… (not saying I'm perfect!) but the other person spoke to me with a certain entitlement.

It hurt. 

I thought maybe I wasn’t good enough. 

But the more I sat with what was going on, I could clearly feel: 

The issue wasn’t my loyalty. It was giving it to a place that didn't respect it. 

Some environments expect your best while offering the bare minimum in return —

no respect, no clarity, no curiosity about who you are or how you work.

I know I'm not the only one who has been treated like this. This is why I'm sharing this story. 

If "disrespect" is wrapped as "feedback" please run in the other direction. 

We don't need to be loyal to spaces that don’t value effort. 
We don't need to be in rooms that confuse ownership with obligation.

And we won’t shrink myself to make someone else feel more in control.

Loyalty at work should feel reciprocal - not a one-sided affair. 

Has something like this ever happened to you?

Niches I consult in:   

> Deeptech / Robotics  
> Consumer AI 
> Consumer tech  
> Healthtech  
> Insuretech  
> Fintech  
> Energy / Cleantech
> Community / Future of Work 
> Sportstech  
> Media / Events  
> Investing / VC

Precisely why my edge has been: Stealing patterns from one world and winning in another.

I chatted with a founder who raised $3M within weeks. Here's her advice for anyone fundraising: "Have utmost clarity on the type of investor you want to partner with." 

They were clear that they don't want to spray and pray. 

Instead, she focused only on the investors who would understand her pace, her model, and her ambition. 

That clarity saved the team time, energy, and countless conversations that would’ve led nowhere (and drained them).

She and her co-founders spent months researching investors - how they think, what they back, what they expect, and how they work with founders post-cheque. 

And when they finally started fundraising, it worked. Everything moved faster because the alignment was already there.

Interesting to note that in fundraising tables are turning. Founders will filter investors as hard as investors filter founders. 

----

Tomorrow, I’ll share a list of signs to identify your ideal investor (based on her playbook and my own learnings from working with founders).

In your 20s some people will make you feel that your work is worthless.
It is very important that you don't believe them. 


I've worked with people who dismissed my work because they didn't think it added value. 

They assumed they knew better. 

They wanted me to take full ownership while paying the bare minimum.

They'd casually pass comments at how I live my life. 

They thought less of me because I choose to reject full-time employment. 

It is important that when you cross paths with these people (no matter who they are) - you run in the other direction. 

Why? Because they will force you to think small of yourself. Shrink yourself. 
They will make you believe that you don't deserve the world. 
They will cage your ambition with their limitations. 

Guess what happened when I gave up that project? 

My energy aligned. 

I started meeting (and closing deals with) founders who are more aligned to my values. 

My abilities began expanding. 

I made mistakes, but I learned to be better. I was given feedback and it helped me strengthen my creative muscles.

Above all, happiness just skyrocketed. 

And now they watch me closely (and they think I don't know it!).

My 2-week Japan trip gave me back something I didn’t know I had lost — my curiosity. 

6pm in Tokyo.

It’s 10° celsius. My hands are freezing. It’s dark already. 

I’ve walked the whole day. But I still need to walk 20 more minutes to get to the place I’ll grab dinner from. 
 
My legs hurt a bit. 

Out of nowhere I’ve entered the hottest part of Tokyo. It’s so bright and colorful that it feels like I’m in a video game. 

The city is alive. 

So much is happening around me. 

My senses weren’t ready. 

I cannot help but smile. 

I watch people - some are taking pictures, some are sipping on their boba tea, almost everyone has a shopping bag in their hand or two. 

I watch the buildings. They’re huge and the billboards are so enormous. 

Somehow, hundreds of people cross in complete order. 

I wonder where they’re from. 

The place is covered in restaurants. Everywhere I look, there’s something or the other to eat. 

When was the last time you were an observer, Sakshi? 

When was the last time, you weren’t in a rush to get somewhere? 

When was the last time, you truly thought deeply without your brain reminding you that you need to change the context tab now because tasks are pending?

The moment a founder becomes dangerous is when their language finally matches their intent.

I love how Brain Chesky describes it: 

“If you don’t have a clear story, you don’t have a clear strategy.”

This is why creating a narrative is so critical. 

It makes a startup go from: 

“We need to defend our thesis” → “We’re just declaring our direction and the world will follow”

Executive Coach | Leadership Trainer | Fractional CHRO | Strategic HR Advisor

I don’t run HR playbooks or coaching programs.
I create alignment where people and profit move in the same direction.

I’m a CA who has lived through the real challenges of service delivery, client pressure, and leadership in motion across finance, consulting, and HR.

I’ve seen that business problems rarely start in the balance sheet.
They start in behaviour, in how leaders think, communicate, and drive performance.

I work with founders and CXOs to turn leadership behaviour into business advantage.
My work bridges the language of numbers with the pulse of people.

1-on-1 EXECUTIVE COACHING

For CXOs and founders who don’t need motivation, they need momentum.

I’ve been in the rooms where decisions are heavy, expectations are high, and silence is loud.
I know it can be lonely at the top, when everyone looks to you but no one looks out for you.

You don’t need another coach. You need a strategic sounding board who understands both people and pressure.

I help you:
📌 Reboot your leadership operating system for sharper thinking and calmer execution.
📌 Navigate power, people, and pace without burning out.
📌 Build conviction that inspires trust, not compliance.

At your level, leadership isn’t about doing more. It’s about leading with clarity.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING FOR MANAGERS

For organizations ready to turn managers into multipliers.

My group programs are not lectures. They are labs where managers learn to communicate with impact, build trust velocity, and drive accountability across generations.

📌 Flagship offerings:
• Leadership Coaching for First-Time Managers
• Gen Z Leadership Readiness
• Multigenerational Productivity Strategy

FRACTIONAL CHRO & STRATEGIC ADVISORY

For founders who want senior HR leadership without the overhead.

You should consider a Fractional CHRO when:
📌 You’re scaling fast but people decisions lag behind growth.
📌 Culture feels inconsistent across teams.
📌 You need strategic HR that links performance, cost, and capability.

I design people systems that pay for themselves through cost-smart org design, productivity frameworks, and leadership pipelines that hold under pressure.

HR isn’t a department. It’s your performance infrastructure.
When it’s designed right, it scales both people and profit.

Leadership and HR are not separate functions.
They are the twin engines of growth.
When one slows, the other stalls.
I make sure both run together.

Five minutes.
That’s all it took to change what could have been an ordinary day into a memory where we would have said - he WAS a good guy..

It’s strange how fragile time feels after moments like that.
You start realising how thin the line is between normal and never the same again.

We spend so much of life rushing

and forget how precious the ordinary moments are.

As a leadership and approach coach, my days revolve around guiding individuals and teams to lead with clarity, confidence, and compassion. 

Between coaching sessions, strategy calls, and constant travel, my mind and energy need to stay centered and strong.

Over the years, I’ve learned that leadership starts with self, and that includes how we nourish our bodies. I’ve explored every “healthy eating” philosophy out there, but there was always one thing I avoided: rice.

We’ve all heard the same thing. “Rice slows you down. It adds weight. It spikes your sugar.”

 So, I cut it out completely, even though it was once a staple comfort food growing up.

Then I came across Daawat’s #RiceYourAwareness campaign and the #OnlyRiceNovember challenge, which encourages people to rediscover rice as part of a balanced and mindful lifestyle.

That message really resonated with me because just like leadership, true wellness isn’t about restriction; it’s about awareness, balance, and intentional choices.

So, I’ve joined the 14-day Only Rice November Challenge, and after selecting my preferred days, I received a personalized diet plan curated by nutritionist Nmami Agarwal. I’m genuinely curious to see how this mindful experiment shifts my perspective on food, energy, and balance.

If you’ve ever questioned what “healthy” truly means, maybe it’s time to rethink your plate and your mindset.

 Join me on this journey, let’s #RiceYourAwareness together.

📌 People can support you, but your conviction sustains you.
📌 Systems can help you grow, but your balance keeps you grounded.

It’s not about needing less help, it’s about growing stronger from within.

You can take support, but the balance sheet is yours to manage.

That’s what leadership coaching builds - clarity, confidence, and calm under pressure.

LinkedIn LinkedIn Guide to Creating  #hr #leadership

Most leaders don’t realise the cost of their actions today till it’s too late to undo them.

📌 Leaders rarely fail because of one big mistake.
It’s the small daily choices that add up.

📌 A delayed decision slows the team.
📌 A harsh word lowers confidence.
📌 A missed conversation breaks trust.

At senior levels, every action sets the tone.
That’s why reflection isn’t a soft skill, it’s a business tool.

I work with CXOs and business leaders to:
✔ Think clearly under pressure
✔ Communicate with intent
✔ Build teams that stay aligned and motivated

HRs gift what they think is convenient.

Someone said that to my face recently, and I remember being so angry about it. 

Ironically the very same night, I stumbled upon Flipkart ’s spoof report, ‘The Great Indian Corporate Gifting: Unwrapped’ in my mailbox.  It showcased the classic copy-paste gifting energy HRs have. And I laughed so hard as I realised this person I met in the morning wasn't entirely wrong.

One thing I’ve learned after years of building culture and leading HR: appreciation lands best when it feels personal.

𝐀 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐮𝐬𝐞.

That’s why I love the idea of gift cards, they’re thoughtful gifts that say, “I trust your choice.”

When people get to pick what fits their life, appreciation stops feeling like an obligation and starts feeling like a connection.

To the person who said that to me - thanks. You made me reflect, laugh, and reset how I look at gifting.

If you want to laugh in the middle of the day and introspect too -  attqching some pictures i clicked of the report. Keep smiling :) 

#Flipkart

There’s something incredibly powerful about watching your child play a sport.

You see them become more focused, more confident, more resilient one practice at a time.

For the longest time, I thought effort and coaching were all they needed. It took a few exhausting weeks of training to realise that their bodies need just as much support as their ambitions.

That’s why Gritzo ’s Athlete SuperMilk feels so relevant. It shines light on a simple truth: athlete kids are not the same as non-athlete kids, nutritionally. Their protein requirements, recovery needs, and energy demands are much higher.

It’s reassuring to see a brand step into this space with clarity and purpose.

To every child who keeps trying, and every parent cheering from the sidelines this one’s for you.

We often focus on intensity in relationships and in leadership.
However, it is consistency that holds everything together.

I recently watched the latest episode of The Relationship Edit by Matrimony.com Limited, and two ideas stood out very strongly.

First, value compatibility matters far more than shared hobbies or similar interests.

Two people can enjoy completely different things, but if their beliefs about family, money and lifestyle do not align, they will repeatedly face friction.

This is equally true in organisations where teams struggle when values do not match, even if skill sets do.

Second, consistency is a reliable indicator of character.
One-off good days or bad days do not define a person.
Patterns do.

Repeated behaviour, over time, reveals who people truly are.

In leadership, this is the foundation of trust.

In relationships, it is the foundation of stability.

I appreciate that Matrimony.com Limited is starting a conversation that moves beyond the idea of love as a feeling and focuses on love as a partnership that requires alignment, steady behaviour and shared understanding.

These insights are relevant not only for couples but for leaders, teams, and organisations as well.

Alignment gives direction.
Consistency builds trust.

Both are essential for long-term relationships, whether personal or professional.
