I enjoy playing badminton, discovering new things, and continuously learning. I am passionate about personal growth, exploring new opportunities, and staying updated with developments in business, technology, and the world around me.

I am joining RYD Gym to strengthen my leadership skills, expand my knowledge, and continue growing both personally and professionally.

I feel excited, inspired, and eager to begin this journey. I am looking forward to learning, growing, discovering new possibilities, and becoming better in both my professional and personal life.

Please join me in welcoming Pooja Dawar to her RYD Year 2 💜

She continues with Centre for Personal Excellence™, a channel of impact of Realize Your Dreams Gym for Business, Leadership and Life Mastery™, with Anju Chowla as the wind beneath her wings and RYD as her structure of success for her ongoing good to great journey.

She stays in Delhi with her husband Narendra and her mom. She is a marketing professional with diverse experience across consumer healthcare, baby care and Ayurveda. Her hobbies include Kathak, gardening and watching TV. She took up Kathak last year to fulfil her childhood aspiration, and it has helped her not just to come out of her comfort zone but also to overcome her stage fright. Additionally, nurturing her plants brings her a lot of joy and makes her feel relaxed.

Here's a bit more about her in her own words:

My Year 1 with RYD was a year of self-awareness and self-discovery. The deep-dives with my coach, Anju, and her practice of putting a hypothesis on the table for me to test have helped me reflect deeply and uncover my fears. When I joined RYD last year, I felt stuck in my career and didn't know how to move forward. With RYD, I have learned to DREAM and broaden my horizons. Not just that, I have begun to transform from a hesitant professional to someone who creates opportunities for herself. I have also realized the importance of all the five areas of my wheel of life. Earlier, I was just focused on one, while today, I want to nurture all five.
​
In the last 1-2 months, I have experienced certain shifts within that have strengthened my trust in the universe and in the process of life. As I step into my second year of RYD, I feel happy, grateful and motivated to create further shifts within myself and create positive outcomes by consistently practising my growth habits, working on my craft mastery and leadership depth, and taking action to have it all.

Please join me in welcoming Sravanya Rao Pittie to her RYD Year 2 💜
​
She continues with Centre for Entrepreneurial Excellence™, a channel of impact of Realize Your Dreams Gym for Business, Leadership and Life Mastery™, with Anju Chowla as the wind beneath her wings and RYD as her structure of success for her ongoing good to great journey.

She lives in Mumbai with her husband Aditya, daughter Ishara, son Veerpratap and their dog Ziggy. She is a tableware designer and art curator trained at the Inchbald School of Design, London, and NYU Stern. Founder of Sokka Design Studio, she has designed high-end residences and curated the art programme for Mumbai's Domestic Airport Terminal 1A. A Founding Cultural Ambassador of Asia Society India, her content on art and architecture has garnered over 2.2 million views. She founded Sokka Tableware, a vegan tableware brand that brings a practitioner's eye to the conversation around art, design, and cultural patronage.

Here's a bit more about her in her own words:

I am passionate about History, Art, India, Dance, Music and creating value. In my RYD Year 1, the following made the biggest difference to me:
1. We implemented processes instead of being person dependent. This has streamlined many things for Sokka.
2. I set intentions and believed things to be the way I intended them to be.
3. Daily huddle, weekly meetings, being present early for the meetings.
4. I understood my financials and we moved to Zoho.
5. The learning mindset has given me fuel to go from good to great.

​The learnings of Year 1 have me eager to see what Year 2 will bring. I am feeling excited and charged about journeying into my RYD Year 2. I feel grateful for all that I have learnt and how my mentors and community have supported me during this time. I feel abundant with this support.

Holding your space, Sravanya, for you to progress on your journey to lead yourself, your health, your kids, your people and your business from good to great, realize your dreams and have it all with ease and grace; experiencing beauty, balance and harmony within and all around; while having lots of fun and adventure along the way.

Please join me in welcoming Pratik Agarwal to his RYD Year 3 💜

He continues with Centre for Entrepreneurial Excellence™, a channel of impact of Realize Your Dreams Gym for Business, Leadership and Life Mastery™, with Vimla Dorairaju as the wind beneath his wings and RYD as his structure of success for his ongoing good to great journey.

He has chosen to step into the RYD 2026 version of the journey, even though the earlier version was available to him under RYD Protection. He is also bringing his #2 — Bikash Kejariwal — onto the RYD Good to Great journey.

The 2026 version significantly strengthens our ability to deliver on our brand promise — lead your business from good to great — and his #2 joining strengthens it further still. As per the new format, their Business Excellence journey's in-person Kick-off is scheduled for June 2026 with the key leaders, creating alignment at the top — which is half the game won. This is a breakthrough moment for our community, as it brings us all one more step forward in the direction of our shared BHAG.

Here's a bit about Pratik in his own words:

I stay in Mumbai with my wife, Rachita, who is also part of our RYD community, and our 2 adorable kids — Tara, who is 8, and Arjun, who is 6.

I work at Sonal (SAPL Industries), our family business. We design and manufacture garments for global fashion brands. Prior to this, I've built a fitness startup and also spent 9+ years in private equity.

I love sports. I currently play a lot of padel. I enjoy travel and spending time with my family. I've also developed a passion for learning and applying AI in my daily life and work.

My RYD Year 2 was about re-entering my family business with enthusiasm and purpose to take it to the next level. I sold my startup and started a new phase of growth in my career and also in my health.

Year 3 for me is about accelerated growth and making a massive difference to my business by being a peaceful warrior leader who inspires and unites our team to co-create success with transparency and accountability. I am feeling enthusiastic, happy and grateful about progressing to Year 3 on my RYD Good to Great journey.

I am looking forward to interacting more with everyone in the community.

Holding your space, Pratik, for you to progress on your journey to lead yourself, your health, your kids, your people and your business from good to great, realize your dreams and have it all with ease and grace; experiencing beauty, balance and harmony within and all around; while having lots of fun and adventure along the way.

​Loving you,
