What People Say?
Maya Jennifer
Founder, Hygge the Bone Soup Co.I deeply appreciate your time, insights, and commitment to nurture and grow food founders. Our conversation revealed many blind spots in my thinking and things I do that do not support a scalable business. While I have a successful coaching lifestyle business, I realised that The Bon Soup Co is at the level of a hobby project, and needs to scale to lifestyle before I can think of scale. I am inspired to transform and would love to reconnect when The Bon Soup Co is at the level of a lifestyle company.
Payal Anil Mundra
Founder, The Spoken SpoonThank you so much for a wonderful one-to-one session. For someone trying to rebrand and restructure the brand, you have given valuable feedback on what I need to look into and what can be avoided for the time being. Your knowledge about the market and guidance will help me pave the path better. I love how the session was so honest and you did not cringe before putting some realities in front. Every pointer you shared about the conversation was a key point to the business goals, which I may have avoided. Thank you so much again for the guidance and help!

Mihir Agarwal
Co-Founder, Bombay BarronsGauri and I have had a few sessions with mentor, Ashwin Bhadri, and all of these interactions have been super helpful and insightful. I have always wanted to seek guidance from someone with personal experience in running and scaling a business, and Ashwin was the perfect fit for us. Despite all his experiences and learnings, he was very open or rather pushed us to break down our business to him, get a complete understanding of our mindsets as well, and with that understanding, he helped us break down our services, targets, goals and arrive at the next steps.
