Here are the specifics of me during 2018 and 2019 (even though the roots of these problems started in my childhood): I was dealing with severe depression, anxiety, OCD, frustration, anger, blaming and complaining. I felt hopeless, cried uncontrollably, scrolled through social media mindlessly, was existing but not living. I thought no one understood me, thought life was unfair and like hell, had no real friends, and being an introvert, had hatred towards many people, including myself. I lost interest in almost everything, didn’t smile or laugh, had severe job insecurities, couldn’t handle fake people, and didn’t know my passion or purpose. I didn’t know how to be happy with or without money and an extraordinary love life. I was suicidal and went to the train tracks. I had many questions about life and happiness but no answers for my problems. I had horrible skin, a horrible job, and a horrible work life. No recognition for my efforts. I procrastinated, felt low and dull, had severe health issues, looked horrible, avoided mirrors, was emotionally abandoned by a group of people, got rejected left and right, ate junk food, had noise disturbances around me, and felt like my prayers weren’t working. Things were only getting worse, and I wanted to go somewhere with no people or problems. This was during 2018 and 2019, and I was struggling on every front.
I’m SO glad you’re here!
Have you ever felt like there’s no way out? Like life is just too much, and you can’t find your way forward?

Then one day, something happened… that shifted everything....
The Beginning: From Average Student to Anxious Overachiever
1993-2009 (School and Early Years)
Following the crowd blindly: Average Shy Ambivert Kid -> A shift in mindset occurred in 2008—devoting myself to studying, waking up at 4 AM every day, and using every single minute to the fullest.
First Major Success: Scored 95% in my board exams in 2009, earning FREE education for 11th and 12th standard.
My Picture from 2019 ↓
A Look Back
The Crossroads: Struggling with the Corporate World
2015-2019 (Career in IT and Health Crisis)
The Weight of Expectations: Climbing Higher, Falling Deeper. Graduated in Engineering with a university rank and dual campus placements. Got a temporary job in Amazon Customer Service in 2015 while waiting for a Cognizant’s call letter and dedicated my time to teaching children in orphanages.
Heightened Anxiety and Job Insecurity: Joined Cognizant during Feb 2016. Then transitioned from a support role into a development role.
Physical Health Crisis: In October 2018, I was diagnosed with ulcer and stomach tuberculosis.
Mental Health Crisis: I was the embodiment of depression and pessimism. My sleep dreams was filled with anxiety, as I cried out for justice.
Reaching Rock Bottom: In the middle of 2019, I hit the lowest point of my life. I was let go from work, and thoughts of suicide led me to the train tracks.
(Today, my mission is to prevent individuals from reaching that precipice, using the power of the mind to guide them towards a life of fulfillment. And if they've already taken that plunge, I'm here to help them recover swiftly.)
The “Why Me” Moment:
One day during mid-2019, when I was alone in the prayer area of our house, I unleashed my pent-up emotions. I shouted at God, asking all the "Why me?" questions, venting my frustrations. As I screamed at the top of my lungs, I remember asking, "Even if it's all for the sake of heaven or hell, what's the purpose behind it?" There was no answer from the religious figures in my life. But then, a confident voice just spoke: "Do something better to make yourself feel better. And that is always better." That marked the precise moment when I started to listen to my intuition mindfully, right after I had finally expressed all the emotions I had suppressed and carried for so long.
Turning Point: Choosing to Heal and Transform
2020 (Mindset Shift and Rebuilding)
Rising from the Ashes: By Nov 2019, I was taken back to work. During the 2020 lockdown, I decided to actively work on my mental health, investing in self-help courses, books, and mindset work. I started investing 8000+ hours in 38+ courses and certifications from world’s top coaches and mentors.
Implementing Small Lessons: I started implementing lessons one by one. I worked on my money mindset too. I gradually began releasing the weight of past trauma, physical, verbal, and mental abuse, and emotional baggage that had burdened me for years.
Reaching New Heights: Professional Growth from Personal Growth
2021-2022 (Happily Living Alone, Career Success, and Mentorship)
Living Alone: Breaking away from dysfunctional family patterns, I had no contact with my family for 6 months, starting in February 2021.

New Career Milestones: In May 2021, I landed a senior manual testing role with a 140% salary hike, earning six figures every month.

Clear on Life Purpose with Mentoring: Started part-time life coaching in October 2021, helping others transform their lives.
Creating Impact: I deeply realized that my true passion lies in guiding people toward healing, happiness, and success. Testimonials became strong proof of this.
