Entrepreneur & Founder of a successful Start-up at CIIE (the center for innovation incubation and entrepreneurships) of IIM-A (Where I was a Startup Mentor & Jury member)
​
I came across Rajal in one of the CIIE meeting and was pleasantly surprised to see a professional full of virtues yet so humble, peaceful and fully in control. She was the only one who was in no rush to introduce herself, get noticed, make unnecessary comments or exchange visiting cards. Rather she silently listened, made few comments, I felt compelled to know more about her.
It was challenging period of my life when I needed guidance to manage the challenging situation in the start-up scenario.
Abundantly spiritual Rajal was instinctively kind, patient and profoundly a deeply respected mentor at CIIE to a plenty of people around her, I am fortunate to be among them.
She has a unique style which made me comfortable and open up in my first very session. She is a creative person and thinks out of the box and also brings in a lot of fun to the process of learning.
She brings out a lot of thoughts which were in my subconscious mind and were a hindrance to my being, who or what I am. The coping strategies and information on mindfulness has really helped me deal with my stress.
Having knowledge of so many industries, her uplifting, positive, and fun personality made me connect with her instantly. The initial few sessions were really an eye opener for me, where I discovered a lot of new details about my personality which generally we never realize. She exactly knows what kind of Questions will lead to Answers.
​
Rajal has given me the gift of helping me change possibility into reality.
Rajal is a brilliant mentor who truly helps you be happier and wiser.

Alpa Shukul- Executive Director, CIVICA India

I started my first individual coaching sessions with Rajal and really cherish the time I spent with her. She has a unique style which made me comfortable and I opened up in my first very session
She was devoted to taking the time to understand my goals, aspirations, challenges and truly dedicated to my success.
These sessions have enabled me to reflect on my own leadership style and to clearly identify areas I need to grow and strengthen to enable me to lead more effectively and helped me take a step back from a frantic pace and evaluate what is currently important. It gives me time to reflect on what is currently on my mind and some head space in which to process this.
Rajal is empathetic, observant, perceptive and a deep person. She has a unique ability to ask targeted questions which have scaffolded my thinking and enabled me to reflect and arrive at my own solutions to challenges. Her thought provoking questions asked subtly, her calm demeanour and her ability to prompt deep reflections, helped me develop fresh perspectives on my professional challenges.
Rajal has also triggered my thoughts to find "true purpose of life " beyond my corporate leadership role.
She has a unique gift and a rare skill—the gift to get beneath the surface issues to identify the core developmental needs that must be resolved for someone to be successful, at both personal & professional level.
In my interactions with her I found that her ability to articulate and communicate with clarity and passion helped create positivism and purpose. She has managed to change the way I think and assess situations, and the effects are clearly visible in my daily work.
Her visualization exercises can be real eye openers. They take you where your heart knows you should be, but your eyes and brain never saw. Extremely powerful.
Ideal for C suite mentoring and coaching, as a strong leader, she is not afraid to challenge the status quo and has this uncanny ability of dissecting an issue and getting to its core quickly.
Rajal is a clear and strategic thinker, sets high standards for self and others, is able to communicate difficult messages with honesty and clarity. She excels on the only metric that matters - She achieves positive, measurable change.

There is a sense of dignity in her presence. Rajal is very poised, diligent and a lively person.
In my 25 years of professional journey, I haven't met anyone as inspiring, thoughtful and genuine as Rajal. I wish I had met her much earlier in my life and could be the leader that I am today.
​
Rajal’s coaching conversations are always intellectually stimulating and open many windows. Her curiosity enables her to reach the heart of the person enabling them to define their own path. I found solutions to important aspects of my inner self.
She has been amazing in guiding me to recognize my inner strengths and overcome my rigidity and then find solutions to achieve my goals – and I am loving the direct impact it has had on my professional and personal life.
As a result of my coaching session will now enter the field with my best foot forward, turning my knowledge to results for others. Inspiring them and I remember how eagerly I used to wait for my next session, as she made me explore myself, like no one before.
​
Rajal has the unique ability to convert a challenge to an opportunity. It is because of her, I have learnt to look at life differently and create space for humility. She ignited my dormant fire and passion from within for inspiring myself and others.
​
There were many such ‘A-ha’ moments which left me mesmerized and in awe of her. I felt empowered with clarity of thought and a sense of direction.
I found her celebrating and acknowledging my strengths and supporting me to build more nuance to my practice.
Coach, friend, guide; Rajal dawns multiple hats. And the most beautiful thing I have experienced is that she seamlessly transitions in and out of these roles while coaching. That’s why she is my "go to" person.
I am immensely grateful to Rajal and she is my self- appointed mentor
