About Coach Chakra
We find what's underneath.
Coach Chakra is a small, senior practice. Shruti leads every engagement personally, from the first conversation to the final readout.
Founder
Shruti Gehenwar
Shruti founded Coach Chakra on a simple observation: when people understand what is really holding them back, and choose to go beyond it, they make a real difference to themselves and to everyone around them. The same is true of teams and of whole organisations.
She began as a coach, working one-to-one with founders, executives and professionals. Over time her work moved upstream, from helping individuals act to helping organisations understand why their people struggle in the first place.
Her strength is analysis. She is a patient listener, a sharp observer and a clear writer, and she is happiest when a messy problem finally has a name everyone in the room agrees with.
Why "Chakra"
An organisation turns like a wheel.
A chakra is a wheel. In an organisation, everything turns together: how leaders lead, how teams work, what people feel, what customers see.
Change one spoke without understanding the wheel and the whole thing wobbles. That is why we look at the whole wheel first, and why we always start with diagnosis.
How we work
What you can expect from us.
Senior, start to finish
The person who interviews your people is the person who writes your report and stands up in your readout. Nothing is handed to a junior team.
Confidential by design
People only tell the truth when it's safe to. Nothing is attributed, and raw notes never leave our hands.
Plain words
No jargon, no forty-slide decks. If we can't explain the finding in a page, we haven't understood it yet.
I'm not a motivational speaker, and your team doesn't need motivation. It needs clear, simple steps that address its real challenges.Shruti Gehenwar
In their words
What clients say
From people Shruti has coached one-to-one.
“Shruti has been coaching me for a few months now, and the experience has been transformational. Every little trick, insight and alternate perspective she has offered is something I try to practise every day.”
“Her approach was amazing, making me realise my strengths and weaknesses and how to break out of them. There are situations where one needs guidance without opinions being thrust on you, and Shruti does a great job of it.”
“To ask for help is the best thing one can do, and Shruti can help a great deal. Her guidance is the best thing to have happened to me in a long time.”
“Each challenge I presented was converted into a corresponding action, tagged to a positive, achievable outcome. Coaching helped align my thoughts with my actions and understand my priorities.”
