Please join me in welcoming Harsh Passari to his RYD Year 3 💜

He moves to Project Pinnacle with Centre for Entrepreneurial Excellence™, a channel of impact of Realize Your Dreams Gym for Business, Leadership and Life Mastery™, with Anju Chowla as his wind beneath his wings and RYD as his structure of success for his ongoing good to great journey.

Harsh's wife and fellow entrepreneur, Ritu, is also an RYDian and is in her first year with RYD, with Anju as her coach as well. Since we take a whole-system, integrated view of our coachee’s good-to-great journey, we’ve found that having the same coach for spouses, family members and leadership team members; and using the same coaching methodology for the family and the organisation; works exceptionally well to progress the leaders and their businesses from good to great.

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

I live in Pune with my wife Ritu, our 13 year old son Reyansh and my parents.

I have been running my business - IBC Consultants - for the last 15 years. We support consulting firms globally to become scalable and sustainable. I worked with McKinsey and PwC as a consultant prior to that. I have an MBA from ISB and am a CFA Level 2. 

I passionate about adventure sports and outdoors.

The biggest game changer in my RYD Year 1 was the discipline and the habits that I developed. The biggest game changer in my RYD Year 2 was developing the ability to momentarily move to Gear 5.

I am stepping up to Year 3 with RYD because I want to continue on my growth journey and stay in love consciousness (Gear 5) more often. 

I am feeling optimistic and excited as I progress to Year 3 on my RYD Good to Great journey.

​Please join me in welcoming Sagar Mehta to our RYD family 💜

He joins Project Pinnacle 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 his wings.

He was invited to explore RYD by Pratik Agarwal. Thank you, Pratik, for your love, trust and belief in your coach Vimla, in me and in RYD that had you invite your friend to explore RYD as his structure of success for his good to great journey.

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

I live in Mumbai with my wife Armira and our 8 year old daughter, Saira. 

I come from a family business background, and have always had an entrepreneurial bug. I have spent the last 15 years building SUNLITE, a solar lighting business that serves the humanitarian sector globally, especially in refugee settlements. 

I have recently launched skub, a D2C medical workwear brand, an offshoot to my legacy apparel manufacturing business. I am also just starting up another venture to manufacture precision optical devices for the defence sector. 

I have always been passionate about sports. In the last 3-4 years, I have really taken to golf. I am hoping to spend more time on the golf course this year to get my handicap down.   

The past year has really tested my professional identity. As I explore new beginnings, I realize the need for structure and accountability. I have some very close friends who are already part of the RYD community, and speaking to them about their journey has been my biggest inspiration.

I am coming into RYD with a ton of excitement. I am determined to learn, share and grow along the way 😊

Please join me in welcoming Amrita Mukherjee to her RYD Year 2 💜

She moves to Project Pinnacle with Centre for Entrepreneurial Excellence™, a channel of impact of Realize Your Dreams Gym for Business, Leadership and Life Mastery™, with Vimla Dorairaju as her 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, Deb.

She is a Legal Expert in Technology, Media and Telecommunications. She has lead the legal teams for Disney+ Hotstar and Meta in India. Currently, she is building and operating Nanhe Kadam, which runs creches inside women’s prison for young children (1-6 years) of the incarcerated mothers in Maharashtra. 

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

I like dancing, travelling, watching global content, fashion. I am naturally social and enjoy getting to know new people.

The most meaningful impact of my first year in RYD was on the inside. It helped me find direction professionally, unpack limiting thoughts, build self-worth, give up upsets, have childlike trust and faith, step outside my comfort zone, nurture relationship with my husband and master fear.

As I step into my second year with RYD, I want to build on the progress I have made across all areas of my life to step into higher levels of excellence. I am  looking forward to learning new ideas, strengthening self-love, and staying consistent with the RYD habits that support my growth; without returning to default mode.

I am feeling excited and grateful stepping into Year 2 on my RYD Good to Great journey.

Please join me in welcoming Prateek Bhagchandka to his RYD Year 2 💜

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

I am deeply grateful that as a community we have reached a level of evolution that Jyoti and RYD are distinct from each other, and that RYD Coach is no longer an individual called Jyoti. RYD Coach has evolved to being a Distinction, making it seamless for an RYD Coachee to shift between RYD Coaches based on what would most serve them in the moment on their good to great journey, with the confidence that the promise of RYD would still be delivered to them, irrespective of the coach. Possibly, I have reached a level of evolution where I am willing to let go of the need to be The Impact to be the Channel of Impact. This is the hardest transition for a founder and a parent. This is the jumping of the chasm from Craft Mastery Stage 3 to Craft Mastery stage 4 to shift from being the Expert to be a Mentor to teach all that you know to support your people to become Experts. 

Prateek's wife and co-founder, Mugdha, is also an RYDian and is in her first year with RYD, with Vimla as her coach as well. Since we take a whole-system, integrated view of our coachee’s good-to-great journey, we’ve found that having the same coach for spouses and co-founders; and using the same coaching methodology across the organisation; works exceptionally well to progress the business and the leaders from good to great.

With work on the new RYD tech platform scheduled to begin next year, we will shift from being ‘low tech – high touch’ to ‘high tech – high touch’, enabling us to do a full RYD implementation for an organization by supporting all leaders for business, leadership, and culture transformation to fulfil on our shared big hairy audacious goal to nurture great businesses from our land.

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

I live in Mumbai with my wife Mugdha, and kids - Aarish 5 years and Avanya 1 year old. Ananta, my sister, is married with two kids. Our parents also live in Mumbai.

I am a co-founder and CEO of Alimento which houses two brands MOM (Meal of the Moment) and Gimi Gimi. MOM is primarily in the healthy snacking space, in addition to instant meals which was our first category. Gimi Gimi is an "all things Korean" food brand, starting with noodles.

I am passionate about playing padel, golf and poker. In addition, I enjoy travel, music, movies and watching football.

The biggest difference my first year in RYD made was a mindset shift - moving from small mind to big mind, understanding my limiting thoughts and shifting them, acceptance of how I am creating my world, and nurturing my relationship with my life partner.

I am stepping into my Year 2 with RYD to keep the momentum of growth across all areas of my wheel of life, accept myself as I am, and progress towards greatness. I feel excited to uncover and learn new concepts.

Looking forward to holding your space, Prateek, as you fly high in the vast sky of your limitless possibilities.

Loving you,
j.

Please join me in welcoming Rohan Mehta to his RYD Year 3 💜

He moves to Project Ashoka with Centre for Transformational Leadership™, a channel of impact of Realize Your Dreams Gym for Business, Leadership and Life Mastery™, as his structure of success for his ongoing good to great journey with RYD.

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

I stay in mumbai with my parents, my wife, Chand, and our adorable kids - 4.5 yr old Aariv and 1 year old baby Rivaa. I am super close to my sister and in-laws who all live close by.

I am an engineer by education and an entrepreneur by heart. I spent 2 years working in the US in an IT company before moving back and starting Kinnect which I have built over the last 14 years with Chand, my partner at home and at work.

I love working out, adventure sports, pickleball, singing and googling. I am super passionate about business and culture, human behaviour and how to build oneself through continuous learning and coaching.

What made the biggest difference to me in Year 1 and Year 2 with RYD was discovering my purpose, learning how to apply Scaling-Up in my business, getting closer to my clients, shifting our culture from a family to a sports team, and learning to create win-win intentions.

What has me step up to Year 3 with RYD is experiencing Gear 4 / 5 and realising how much more there is for me to learn, take away, and dream; especially now, when I am in the phase of starting up a new business soon.

I am feeling extremely grateful, excited and committed as I progress to Year 3 on my RYD Good to Great journey. I am here to absorb, learn and also share as much as possible.

Looking forward to the next leg of our journey together, Rohan.

Loving you,
​j.

Please join me in welcoming Vault Infosec to their Year 6 with RYD for Sudhakar, Dillibabu, Saranya, Vidhu to joyously lead themselves and Vault Infosec from good to great, realize their dreams and have it all with ease and grace; while having lots of fun and adventure together along the way.

Over the last 5 years that RYD and Vault Infosec have travelled together, we have seen 2 CEOs, peaceful co-founder separation, 5 RYD versions and 3 RYD Coaches. Our relationship, and Vault Infosec has grown and  flourished through all of that.

Sudhakar, Dillibabu, Saranya, Vidhu, I am delighted to welcome you to the next leg of your shared good to great journey with RYD as your structure of success and Vimla Dorairaju as your wind beneath your winds 💜

Sudhakar steps up to RYD Year 4, Dillibabu to RYD Year 3, Vidhya to RYD Year 2, Saranya to RYD Year 1.

Here is a bit about them in their own words:

I am Sudhakar Kathirvel, based in Chennai, CEO and Founder of Vault Infosec, a cybersecurity consulting firm. I help organisations strengthen their security posture with clarity, structure, and trust.

I am passionate about building responsible, joyful, and high-performing teams — both at work and at home. I care deeply about health, harmonious relationships, and living a purpose-inspired life. I also love playing badminton.

In Year 3 with RYD, I created a powerful shift in my inner foundation. I learned to care for my health in a balanced way, gained clarity in my purpose, strengthened my leadership energy, improved my emotional balance, and set a clear direction for my family, health, and business. This inner transformation has made the biggest difference to me. It has helped me show up at work and at home - happier, calmer, more present, and more intentional.

I am stepping into the next year with RYD because I want to expand what I have created. I am committed to elevating my health with consistency, creating a thriving and fulfilling business, deepening joy and harmony in my relationships, and becoming a more conscious, impactful leader.

The growth I have experienced in Year 3 with RYD showed me what is possible and I want to continue that journey with even greater purpose.

As I step into my next year with RYD, I feel inspired, grateful, open, and confident. I can see my path ahead more clearly. I feel ready to step into a higher version of myself with more balance, more joy, and more leadership strength. I am excited for the next phase of my Good to Great journey.

I am Dillibabu from Chennai. I am married to Bhavani, an Assistant Professor. We live with my parents, and together, we are a happy family of four.

I am an Infosec professional, currently working as a Senior Information Security Manager at Vault Infosec, where I began my career in 2016.

I enjoy playing and watching cricket, listening to music, riding my motorcycle, and watching movies. I am deeply passionate about contributing something meaningful to society and making a positive difference in people’s lives in any way I can.

In RYD Year 2, I gained deeper self-awareness, greater confidence, and a clearer understanding of my blind spots and areas for growth. I also discovered a strong interest in reading.

In my RYD Year 3, I want to transform myself in ways that create significant positive impact, both personally and professionally, supporting me to live my purpose and passion.

I feel excited, grateful, and confident that my next RYD year will bring even more transformation.

I am Saranya Vijayakumar. I live in Chennai with my loving husband, Sudhakar, and his family.

By education, I am a dentist but now I am an HR and Finance Manager in Vault Infosec. I am passionate about music, travelling, exploring new things and reading books.

I am joining RYD to discover my strengths and find balance in my life with joy - both personally and professionally. I am excited and grateful to start my good to great journey with RYD as my structure of success. I am happy to be a part of this journey.

My name is Vidhya and I am from Thanjavur. I work as an Assistant Manager with Vault Infosec.

I like travelling to new places, reading books and cooking. I am passionate about supporting education and helping people who are struggling in life, even in small ways. Doing this gives me happiness and peace.

In Year 1 with RYD, I learned to understand myself better - my thoughts, emotions and reactions. This helped me stay calm in tough times and make better decisions with confidence.

I am stepping into Year 2 because I want to keep learning, growing and making a bigger difference. I want to learn new things, grow with confidence and become better in my work and personal life.

​I feel happy, thankful and excited to move forward on my good to great journey with RYD as my structure of success.

Please join me in welcoming Manish Verma to our RYD Family 💜

I am happy and deeply grateful to share that we have onboarded Manish as our first coachee as part of RYD Heart of India scholarship program with Centre for Entrepreneurial Excellence™. Anju Chowla will be his wind beneath his wings. 

Thank you, Anju, for taking the first step forward to support - Realize Your Dreams Heart of India.

RYD Heart of India scholarship program would be funded by RYD 1% Pledge as part of which we will invest 1% of our revenue to give scholarships to aspiring and early stage entrepreneurs to take entrepreneurship to the less privileged in our country - young people with limited financial resources, from rural and semi-urban areas, from non-English medium schools - to enable our country to be the world's most developed, beautiful, greenest nation with her citizens happiest, healthiest and the most prosperous.

Thank you to each one of you on your good to great journey with RYD as your structure of success. It is because of you, Manish is part of our community today. Thank you for being part of the dream to extend a helping hand to those less privileged than us, so that every person in our country and every person in our world can Have it All and be happy, healthy, and prosperous.

Manish will get one year of coaching across the 3 RYD growth levers - leadership depth, craft mastery and business coaching - as a part of the RYD Pioneers tribe to support him to joyously lead himself and his business from good to great, realize his dreams and have it all with ease and grace; and be a member of our community of business owners, CEOs and leaders as our equal.

His being a part of our community will massively contribute to each one of us because Diversity is the foundation of the good to great journey and Relationship of Equals is a key Leadership Depth Gear 3 distinction that we will all have a beautiful opportunity to practise.

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

​I live in Panchkula, Haryana, with my parents and younger brother. I am an entrepreneur and software developer, who loves creating online experiences that make a real difference. Over the past two years, I have worked in areas like software and app development, and digital marketing. My goal is to solve problems using technology. I enjoy turning ideas into well-structured, easy-to-use software that delivers results.

I love exploring new technologies, learning about leadership, and meeting new people. Outside of work, I enjoy running marathons, making sketches, and working on creative projects that help me express myself. I am passionate about personal growth and find happiness in turning my curiosity into new skills and knowledge.

Joining Realize Your Dreams Gym for Business, Leadership, and Life Mastery™ is an intentional step in my journey from good to great. I have reached a stage where I want to align my mindset, habits, and actions to find deeper satisfaction - not just in business, but in life as a whole. I believe RYD is the right place for me to grow with purpose and clarity.

I am feeling energised, grateful, and ready as I step into Year 1 of my RYD Good to Great journey. There is excitement about what is to come, and also a calm confidence.

After attending four deep-dives with Anju and one deep-dive with Jyoti, I have learned that success feels most meaningful when it is shared. I want to contribute to this community - to both give and learn from others.

​Please join me in welcoming Mugdha Bhagchandka to our RYD Family 💜
​
What makes Mugdha joining our community extra special is that her spouse and co-founder, Prateek, is also part of our community. When spouses travel their good to great journey together with RYD as their shared structure of success, both of them lead themselves and their businesses from good to great, realize their dreams and have it all with greater ease, grace and velocity; while having lots of fun and adventure together along the way. Their children mirror this growth, naturally progressing on their own good-to-great journey as a reflection of their parents.

​Our evolution is not a solitary act. It is a community process. That is why RYD good to great journey is about business owners, CEOs and their business leaders travelling together for business, leadership and culture transformation; and families travelling together for personal, relationship and life transformation.

Mugdha joins Centre for Entrepreneurial Excellence™, a channel of impact of Realize Your Dreams Gym for Business, Leadership and Life Mastery™ to fly high in the vast sky of her limitless possibilities with Vimla Dorairaju as her coach, her wind beneath her wings.

Here's a bit about Mugdha in her own words:​

​I live in between Mumbai and Jaipur, and home is where I find joy with my husband, Prateek, and our two lovely children - Aarish (5 years) and Avanya (13 months).
 
I am a brand builder and entrepreneur, passionate about creating food that balances emotion, health and delight. M.O.M (Meal of the Moment) is our fast-growing food brand, with our next brand Gimi Gimi on the shelves. I lead new product development, culture, marketing, strategy and growth for this new age brand to become a legacy.
​
I enjoy enabling clarity-led purpose-inspired growth, combining creativity with performance to scale consumer love into measurable business results.
 
I am deeply drawn to storytelling, design, mindful food and brand culture. I love observing how people connect to products emotionally - what makes them smile, pause or feel seen.
​
Beyond work, I find joy in traveling, dancing, aesthetic design, and spending time with my kids, helping them explore the world with curiosity. My passion lies in creating things that matter - brands, experiences, and lives - built with warmth and intention.

I stepped up to Year 1 of Realize Your Dreams Gym for Business, Leadership & Life Mastery™️ because I am ready to move from alignment to actualization. I want to do deep inner work to find clarity. I want to live, lead and create from the space of wholeness.

I want to build and lead Alimento Foods' next phase of growth with authenticity and vigour; while also growing as a leader, mother and creator who integrates personal joy with professional excellence.

There is a quiet confidence in me as I begin my good to great journey with RYD, the kind that knows transformation is already underway.

I am aware this journey won’t always be linear, but I am ready to build the muscle of mastery. There is excitement in stepping into my next-level self, one conscious action at a time.

My intention for Year 1 is to live and lead with calm confidence, creative clarity and  conviction.
I want to create a business that scales positive impact without losing soul, and a life that expands with abundance without losing presence.

Looking forward to holding your space, Mugs, for you to lead yourself 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,
j.
