I am Mahendra Baid, founder of Equilive. I live in Bangalore with my wife and two children, and I have lived and travelled across many parts of India and beyond.
Over more than twenty years, I have built businesses and helped businesses grow across six industries, worked with and invested in more than twenty-five startups, and served as a COO. Some of the companies I worked with are valued in billions today. Alongside this outer life, I have kept a steady meditation practice for years, and a deep love of reading on Indian philosophy, the working of the mind, and the art of living well. I have also authored a book for children, Wings for Youngsters.
Equilive is a private space to think. I help people find balance in the moments when career, money, relationships, or peace of mind fall out of harmony. I am not a therapist and not a life coach. I am someone you can think alongside, honestly and confidentially, who has lived both the striving and the stillness.
If you are at a crossroads, restless, stuck, or simply seeking clarity, reach out. In our conversation, we will look at where life feels out of balance, and find a real, practical next step, drawn from experience, and where it helps, from my network.
I can help you think through your career and business decisions, your relationship with money and security, the people and relationships around you, and your search for steadiness and peace. And for founders and professionals, I can go deeper on the startup journey, business strategy, and the challenges of corporate life.
Where a challenge needs a qualified professional, I will say so honestly and help you find the right support. Your wellbeing comes first.
