Life By Design strongly believes in the Power of Transformation as being inherent in each-one of us. With this human-centered approach we are working towards enabling a culture of Inclusion in Diversity, by amplifying Inclusion in the Workplace, Education Sector and Society.
"As a kindled fire reduces wood to ashes, O Arjun,
so does the fire of knowledge (of self)
burn to ashes all reactions from material activities."
- Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 4, Verse 37
The Inspiration for our Logo came from the Bhagavad Gita, a 5000 year old scripture, that is a practical guide to living an authentic life, relevant even today
The logo represents self-transformation and the impact of these ripples of individual change on sustainable positive change for a greater good.
The peacock feather at the centre of our logo symbolises inner wisdom, self-knowledge and self-awareness. The inner most square represents the self; empowered by a deeper understanding and inner transformation.
The expanding squares represent growing empathy and inclusion of others. The many colours represent Diversity in humanity.

"My passion is to take the value of coaching to everyone and make it their lifestyle choice.
My personal transformation began as I read and imbibed the Bhagavad Gita.
Our authentic self is designed to live joyfully and empowered; without any limitations!
I realized that the power to transform lies within us. We can live Life by Design, unravelling better versions of self, moving forward and growing. All that is needed is a shift in perspective and a creative thought-process for new options and possibilities to emerge. As I trained to become a Coach, I realized that coaching is that powerful tool through which I can enable transformation in others."
