Start up

Startups are akin to IPL Teams at the beginning of a season. The teams should have a balance of good bowlers, batsmen and all-rounders. They should have a good Captain to provide leadership and vision. To bring out the best in each player and the team, you need a good Coach. Just as a good coach can differentiate between a winning and a losing team, the right coach can differentiate between a startup success or a failure.

Startups put their best business ideas and try to scale their business rapidly. They get so wrapped up in their "Playbook", meaning their business plan that they lose sight of a few essential aspects of their business that contribute to its downfall. That is where I can step in and lend objectivity. Start-up founders treat their business like their babies and invest it with a certain degree of baneful emotional attachment.

As a coach, I can lead startups out of such emotional traps, lend objectivity, and enhance their performance. I can facilitate team building and help teams gel well, and have them stay focused on the company's goals and overall objectives.

Team building being my critical core competency, I can critically impact how early-stage companies blend talent and thinking to form effective teams. I can play an essential role in evaluating individual leaders and determining their strengths and weaknesses more readily than anyone inside the leadership team.

I am trained to work with all different leaders to bring out their best qualities to address everything from delegation to conflict management. It is common knowledge that 8 out of 10 startups fail within the first 18 months. Therefore, companies must have a plan to handle and react to inevitable changes. I use objectivity to anticipate change and recommend timely remedial measures to circumvent change.

Like IPL teams, startup companies are trying to win all the time. They carefully design each game, assess their talent pool, and make substitutions. As a coach, I can be at the heart and soul of a strong team, guiding both the individual players and the team on the path to success. Given a chance, I could genuinely prove to be a game-changer.

Startups are hard. They require a lot of work, time, and dedication. But the hard work pays off. I have several startups turn an idea into a profitable business. I offer expertise to help you with product development, marketing and sales strategies, and customer acquisition and retention.

As a civil servant who has been in the trenches and learned from my mistakes, I offer startup coaching to help people like you jump into entrepreneurship with minimal risk and grow a sustainable business that you can scale. If you're serious about starting a startup, I will help you plan your strategy, create a lean budget, and set realistic goals for your business.

As an experienced civil servant who's worked in the professional space for 30 + years. I help founders take their idea to the next level and build the business of their dreams. I specialize in helping you with your product, marketing, team management, and finances. My startup coaching includes business plans, financial projections, pitching skills, and more.

I have helped entrepreneurs and startups figure out what they're good at, what they want to do, and how to get it done. You can't waste time, money, and energy on things you're not good at. I help people figure out who they are to grow their business.

I offer a one-on-one coaching program, with three different packages available: Basic, Growth, and Unlimited, to help you translate your idea into a legitimate business. My sessions are tailored to your needs and goals, and I don't take on more than three clients at once.
