When I started working with Akshay, I was at a point in my life where I felt stuck—unable to live up to my potential, lacking the clarity and confidence to make meaningful changes. I often found myself overwhelmed by insecurities and uncertainties, yet I didn’t feel strong enough to take action.

I decided to work with Akshay because I admired how he combines professional and financial success with mindfulness, self-awareness, and clarity through meditation. This balance made him a well-rounded coach, capable of helping not only with career goals but also with creating a broader sense of purpose and growth.

One of my most transformative achievements was quitting smoking after 12 years of addiction. Though the journey is ongoing, this breakthrough was possible because of the trust and confidence I built by achieving smaller milestones along the way.

With Akshay’s guidance, I applied mindset shifts and practical strategies to create meaningful change in my life:

  • I let go of harmful habits like smoking after 12 years of addiction.

  • I earned a promotion at work by advocating for myself.

  • I introduced daily rituals that significantly enhanced my mental well-being.

Akshay has a rare ability to help uncover your true goals and develop systems to achieve them—whether in your career or personal life. His effectiveness stems from blending professional insights with the lessons he’s learned from his own journey of inner growth and self-awareness.

When we started working together, I was lacking:

  • self-confidence

  • fears around taking a leap of faith

  • expecting too much about myself

I had picked Akshay for a few reasons:

  • his experience in business

  • his ability to help structure my thoughts (and to drill down in to the deeper level for understanding the why)

  • his experience in Vipassana - something I could relate to.

I feel as if every session there has been a great breakthrough, sometimes subtle but I’m confident will have multiplying effects, some examples:

  • Changing belief system around work habits and motivations surrounding it

  • Courage to take a leap of faith to start journey to start own business

  • Appreciating I’m on a journey and who I am as I am, is great

Consequently, I’ve been able to see more productive days on the start-up I’m looking to launch, freed up mental space to focus on the most important stuff and setting realistic targets for myself. The biggest difference has been in self-realisations about oneself (and then working on ways to combat/improve), guided through Akshay’s clear thinking.  

I’ve referred, everyone close to me already! I think everyone has something they want to get better at or want to work on! Akshay helps to get to the crux of the issue, and sometimes/often its really not what you think it is.

When we started, I was going through financial, relational, and internal instability while launching a new business. I lacked clarity and knew I needed guidance. Akshay’s entrepreneurial background resonated with me, but what truly stood out was his holistic approach—combining results-driven strategies with deep personal growth.

The biggest transformation was personal. I expected tangible outcomes, but I first had to uncover what was holding me back. I wasn’t giving myself time, and it was affecting every area of my life. Akshay helped me see this, not by telling me, but by guiding me to realize it.

I had tried meditation and journaling before, but this time, I approached them with true intention. That shift—from simply checking boxes to fully committing—unlocked a deeper sense of self-trust and clarity.

We used practical tools like goal-setting, journaling, and accountability. Akshay also introduced me to a powerful tool for recognizing inner saboteurs. But beyond the methods, the real impact was the mindset shift—learning the power of intentionality in how I live and build my life.

If you’re considering working with Akshay, I highly recommend it. He blends practical strategies with deep insight, making his guidance invaluable whether you're facing an emotional challenge or pursuing a concrete goal. I’m deeply grateful for this journey and the relationship I’ve built with him.

When I started working with Akshay, I was at a crossroads in my career. I felt unfulfilled in my corporate job and had been wanting to leave for some time to start my own business, but the process felt overwhelming, and I struggled to make meaningful progress.

Working with Akshay gave me the clarity and confidence I needed to finally take the leap. Through our sessions, I became more aware of patterns in myself that I hadn’t recognized before—things that were holding me back without me even realizing it. Akshay helped me establish productive routines that not only made me feel more grounded but also allowed me to approach my decision to leave my job from a calmer, more centered space.

At the same time, I was organizing my first event as part of my new business, and his guidance was invaluable in helping me prepare and navigate that process. His support extended beyond just professional advice; he truly understood how personal factors influence professional decisions. What I especially appreciated about working with him was his ability to catch subtle things that were affecting my state, even when I wasn’t aware of them myself.

Ultimately, Akshay’s approach blends personal and professional growth in a way that’s both practical and transformative. He helps you gain clarity, build confidence, and align your goals with a stronger sense of purpose.

    I had a highly productive 30-minute mentorship session with Akshay Mahajan. His honesty and attention to detail were incredibly valuable in helping me gain a clearer, bigger-picture view of my career path. We discussed the next important steps in my career, and his insights gave me a fresh perspective on how to tackle upcoming challenges. The conversation was both encouraging and practical, and I’m excited to implement the actionable advice we discussed.

  • Astha Maheshwari, Consultant, AlixPartners

    Had a very meaningful conversation with Akshay. The conversation really helped me understand my thoughts at that moment even better. I was trying to take a decision and was confused about it. The best part of the conversation with him is that he is very present in the now. He could read between the lines and helped me understand the situation better. If you are thinking of a session with him, don't think twice… Go ahead!

  • Manchit Mahajan, Strategy & Ops, BCG Alum

    Thank you so much for the wonderful chat we had a few weeks back. It was very constructive and helped me introspect better on the questions I was facing. You have a natural style of coaching that makes it a pleasant experience. And you bring your life experiences to the table very freely, which makes it easier to open up and get into the details. Kudos and more power to you!

  • Thanisha Bansal, Product Founder

    I had a 30-minute session with Akshay in which we went through conversations about self-discovery, reflection, and the path ahead. I found the conversation valuable as it was direct yet empathetic. Akshay was alert and caught up on my words to help me reflect and gain clarity. He didn't let me escape the truth of my situations and fears under the carpet of superficial reasons. If you are looking for a coach, I would recommend him for the clarity he can drive through.

  • Irina Lahtadire, Entrepreneur, AI Product Management & Strategy

    I had just one mentorship session with Akshay so far, and it was probably the most effective one I ever had – he really kept me focused on the problem at hand and didn’t let me vent around or repeat things I already knew. Super valuable coaching skill guaranteeing high ROI on the time spent. I had a clear action plan after we talked!

  • David Fabiyi, Product Designer, Univoice Corp

    During our conversation about my job search problem, Akshay asked deep questions that made me rethink things from a different perspective as opposed to just dropping advice. Way to go!

  • Matheus Beltrão, Product Designer, Smartspace

    I loved that you took more than half of the mentorship to dig deep into what my problem was before you even considered giving any advice. That gave me confidence that you understood what I was going through.

  • Anastasia Rubleva, B2B Senior Business Development Manager, Stealth Mode

    Akshay was my mentor. His approach is about asking the right questions and guiding you into making your own answers. This worked out great for me. My problem was job search-related, so if you have the same question, you're lost and need a second opinion, then I really recommend talking to Akshay.

  • Suyash Kumar Dewangan, Product Manager, Freelance

    I loved the way how you asked questions to me which eventually gave me a framework to solve my problems.

  • Andriy M, Senior GPM, JustEat Takeaway

    I was impressed with the kind of questions he asked to nudge way beyond conventional thinking to pause for a moment and reflect.
    I don't remember when the last time I was asked either myself or someone else such deep questions that make you really think to answer the questions that you might not be even aware of, but are extremely valuable.

    Thanks a lot

  • Bhanu Madaan, Product, Booking.com

    Loved your simple yet deep questions! More power to you!

  • Varun Jain, Founder & Product Manager

    Loved your actionable insights and direct approach to problems. Loved the positive feedback you offered and that helped in building my confidence.

    Loved our thought-provoking conversations and I am looking forward to the next time we catch up.
