Finding Purpose Beyond the Corner Office
Client Profile: An IIT and IIM grad, a high achiever, in his 30s, working in one of the best global companies, getting paid in the top 0.5% for his age, and well on his way to becoming a partner.
The Challenge
- Despite having everything money could buy, this young leader felt utterly unfulfilled.
- The prospect of becoming a partner didn’t spark joy, leaving him questioning the whole point of the climb.
- He craved true leadership, not just the title. This disconnect between his perceived image and his inner yearning for authentic impact left him feeling lost.
- The golden handcuffs of his career glittered, but the “What next?” dilemma haunted him, urging him to make a choice.
Our Approach

and purpose-mapping sessions that helped him:
- Discover hidden passions: Environmental concerns emerged as a deep-seated motivator, igniting a desire to leave a legacy in this space.
- Redefine leadership: We shifted the focus from titles to impact, empowering him to envision how his skills could create meaningful change.
- Chart a new course: With newfound clarity, he saw his future outside the corporate structure, paving the way for a bold move.
Results
- Embracing purpose: He joined a dynamic startup working on electric two-wheelers and innovative rental models, becoming part of a team shaping a greener future.
- Building his path: Inspired by this experience, he’s now on the verge of launching his own venture in the e-vehicle space, determined to make a lasting impact.
