MY STORY
The How behind the Who?I’ve transformed my life and can do the same for you
I’m a master coach, best-selling author and a passionate speaker. I’m the founder of the first women-only hedge fund, special counsellor in many corporations across the globe. I’ve found balance between work and life, now I’m a totally happy person, loving mother, inspiring speaker and writer, and firm investor, but it didn’t come easily. I’ve gone though hundreds of failures and complicated situations. You can use my previous experience in order not to fall into the same trap.enefits to speaking in public include:
In 2008, I wrote my first book Success Yourself, and it was a real success, forgive me the wordiness. My upcoming book Inflated Expectations: Free Yourself from Your Past, Live Your Present and Get the Future You Want is the guidebook for how to treat disappointment on the emotional, mental, behavioral and spiritual levels.
Today, I support ordinary people in answering the questions: “Who Am I, What do I want, and How do I get it?” I am a master coach combining life coaching with the principles of behavior psychology. I’m totally passionate about supporting people out of suffering and limitation and into fulfillment.
My current passion for coaching appeared when I was 26 and met my first life coach, Hendrick. I thought I was just going to get some proper advice about the troubles I was having with my ex-boyfriend and questions I had about my stuck career, but I ended up seeing and studying with Hendrick for over 5 years.
The work we did together was really life-changing. For example, I found the strength to get through my massive quarter-life crisis when I literally lost everything (the job of my dream, engagement with the guy I loved, almost all my money and health) and off anti-depressants and other drugs after being on them for 3 years.
I will help you to freed yourself, to see more, to breath deeper, to set goals and achieve them no matter what. Knowing who you are and what you want is the best thing ever in life, so gift yourself such an opportunity.
I use the professional approach that competently combines practical psychology and coaching. During the sessions, the deepest possible disclosure of talents is provided, you find your inner strength through natural and organic growth of personality. I have a special approach for each client and absence of templates, both at individual consultation, and in team work.
My entrepreneurial journey
Post SecondShaadi.com and Gaadi.com, in 2011, I started Groupon’s India business as the founding CEO. And led the business for 4 years until 2015. In 2013, I was also given the additional responsibility of managing Groupon APAC countries of Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines.
In 2015, we did something rather audacious.
Along with the core management team of Groupon India we bought the Groupon India business from Groupon and made it into an independent entity. Thus started nearbuy, which was funded by Sequoia. I acted as the CEO of nearbuy until 2019 when I stepped down, with 2 other founders running the company on a day-to-day basis.
These 9 years taught me so much.
About people, about building businesses, about fundraising, about investing.
More than anything else, about my own self. Who am I? What am I good at? What should I do and should not do?
I became a student of consumer behavior. A student of how people think, why they behave the way they do and what drives people to work their best (or not).
In 2016, as a way to create an employer brand and attract the best talent, I started an online video series called “warikoo Wednesdays” on LinkedIn. I spoke about my experiences as a founder, a CEO and a people manager. My learning from that.
And somehow that clicked!
