In a small village nestled in Maharashtra’s Konkan region, my story began. It was a childhood filled with the warmth of a close-knit family – My mother (Aai), father (Pappa), younger sister and brother, and my grandparents (Ajji and Ajoba). Life was a balanced blend of education, sports, health, and spirituality.  

My parents were strong figures who shaped my early understanding of the world. She admired my father, a resilient businessman who ran an engineering workshop, for his ability to seamlessly blend the roles of leader, friend, and family man. My mother was a strong-minded woman who supported my father, cared for the family, and ran her own tailoring workshop. From her, I learned the value of striving for perfection and living life to the fullest.  

The environment she grew up in also played a crucial role. From the factory workers in my father’s workshop, she learned the importance of hard work and honesty. The village elders taught me the value of living harmoniously in a diverse community. These early lessons instilled in me the importance of being humble, respectful, and grateful.  

My school years were a time of exploration and growth. She navigated the challenges of growing up, eventually channelling my strengths and discovering my leadership skills. She actively participated in school activities, from being a class leader to organizing events, realizing how much she enjoyed helping and interacting with people. Importantly, she was raised in an environment where she was given the freedom to learn and grow, free from gender discrimination. I broke barriers by becoming the first girl in my village to go to a city for graduation.  

My education journey led me to obtain a Chartered Accountancy degree in 2003. I built a successful career in corporate finance, rising to senior leadership. Over 26 years, I navigated challenges, biases, and the ups and downs of the corporate world, emerging as a leader, a proud mother, and a self-assured individual.  

My life experiences, both the joys and the challenges, shaped my belief that happiness is a fundamental right, often obscured by external pressures and limiting beliefs. This conviction, combined with my desire to share my wisdom and support others, led me to become a life coach.
