Working with Arushi

Owners of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and leadership professionals, in India and the Indian diaspora, including Canada, Australia, the UAE, the UK, the US and Southeast Asia.

A business coach finds what is really limiting your growth, whether that's pricing, customers, team or systems, then builds the plan with you and holds you accountable until it's done. A consultant usually hands over recommendations. As your coach, I work alongside you and your team, week by week, until the changes stick.

1:1 coaching, creating scalable systems and tools, accountability check-ins, and (if needed) in-person visits to align your team.

It depends on the size of your business and how much support you need. Engagements run for a minimum of three months. The first strategy call is free: we look at your numbers, and you get a proposal only if we're the right fit. Book a call.

It's worth it when the business has outgrown what you can fix alone. A Delhi dental clinic grew monthly revenue from ₹3.5L to ₹13.3L, and a Bengaluru skin clinic from ₹5L to ₹30L while the founder halved her time in the clinic. Results depend on your effort and circumstances. Read the success stories.

Revenue growth, improved team management, higher productivity and performance, and reduced stress — all through tailored systems and accountability.

Minimum 3 months, as sustainable change takes time. The exact timeframe is set based on your goals during our initial strategy call.

I'm based in Bengaluru and work with clients across India and the Indian diaspora. Sessions can run online, and I visit in person when it helps to align your team. Business coaching in Bengaluru.

Business coaching for MSMEs

An MSME consultant usually handles a defined task, such as registration, loans or compliance, or hands over recommendations. As a business coach, I work with you and your team for at least three months on growth itself: customers, pricing, sales, systems and people, with weekly accountability until the changes are running.

Owner-run businesses through to established companies. Clients range from a two-person IT services firm to a handloom business with 125 people and ₹19 crore in revenue.

Clinics, manufacturing, real estate, handlooms, architecture and design, IT services, non-profits and family-run businesses. Customers, pricing, systems and team work the same way across all of them.

Leadership coaching

A leadership coach helps you change how you lead: how you decide, delegate, give feedback and hold your team accountable. We work 1:1 on the specific pattern holding you back, build a plan that fits your actual week, and review progress together until the new habits stick.

Executive coaching usually means coaching senior leaders on presence, influence and high-stakes decisions. Leadership coaching covers the same ground for leaders at any level, including founders and first-time managers. I work with both, and the plan is built around your role and goals.

Founders, business owners, managers and senior professionals who are good at what they do but stretched thin: decisions pile up, the team waits for them, and there's no time left to think. Clients include founders of manufacturing, real estate, healthcare and engineering businesses.

It depends on how long we work together and how much support you need. The first Leadership Breakthrough Session is complimentary: we pinpoint what's holding you back, map a 90-day path, and decide together whether coaching is the right next step. Apply for a Breakthrough Session.

Workshops for teams

Yes. I run Performance Breakthrough Workshops on performance management, KRAs and KPIs, feedback and conflict resolution for managers and leadership teams, including executives from organisations like Flipkart, upGrad, Tally Solutions and Trident Group. See corporate training.

Setting KRAs and KPIs, measuring performance objectively, giving and receiving feedback, resolving conflict, and making roles and accountability clear. Each topic is practised through role plays and exercises, so managers leave with tools they can use the following week.

The core programme runs over two days: day one builds awareness, and day two is for application through role plays and exercises.

Yes. Workshops run in person or online, and participants have joined from India, the UAE, the Philippines, Canada, Malaysia and the US.

Yes. Newly promoted managers often get the most immediate value: a clear way to set expectations, measure performance and give feedback from their first weeks in the role.

Send your team size, industry and the performance challenge you want to solve through the contact form, and Arushi will get back to you within 24 hours.
