Ashwin is an ICF-trained Executive Coach and Organisation Development consultant with extensive coaching experience across India, Asia, and Australia. His passion is to partner with organisations to unleash leadership potential and accelerate performance.
Primarily known for his design and systems thinking abilities, his endeavour is to align the people development strategy with business goals and objectives and ensure an ROI using a predictive model.
During his corporate stint with over 33 years of experience in the industry, he has worked with organisations such as Vodafone, Mastek Ltd., Epicenter Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Global Tele- Systems Pvt. Ltd., and the Holiday Inn chain of hotels.
The initial years of his career were spent in the hospitality industry in a business role, re-engineering the business to maximise sales and profitability; the remaining years were spent as Head of Learning & Development in various organisations. His last corporate stint was at Vodafone as Head of Employee and Leadership Development in a pan-India role.

If there is one piece of wisdom, he would like to share with people based on his lived experience, it can be summed up as “Discover your “Ikigai” – a reason for being.” Simply put, Ikigai combines the joy of doing something with a sense of purpose, meaning, and well-being. “It is a feeling that your life is valuable, that you have an impact.”
