“I’m Sparsh. I am a Certified Life Coach to be there for you or your child on your journey towards growth and especially tackling setbacks . Growing up, I was someone who was always a topper in studies, active on stage, and seen as the “everything is sorted” kind of student from the outside. Eventually, that journey led me to IIT Bombay, where I completed my B.Tech in Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science. But life, beyond achievements, had its own layers. There were phases of confusion, pressure, failures, and emotional struggles—especially during my *8-year UPSC journey*, where I reached close to the final stages multiple times, wrote Mains for Civil Services twice and for Indian Forest Service once, and still had to pause after missing it by a small margin. That journey didn’t just test my preparation—it shaped my identity. And that’s where my real learning began. Since the age of 16, I have been working closely with students—sometimes as a teacher, sometimes as a mentor, and often just as someone who listens. Coming from a family of teachers, I have taught and worked with education sector NGOs, taken career counselling sessions, and conducted motivational workshops. During college, I also taught in slum areas. Across all these spaces, one thing remained constant: **It was never just about teaching. It was about creating a space where a young person can grow, think, and feel freely.** For the past few months, I have been running *“Sparsh ki Pathshala”*— an offline learning space where academics are just one part of the journey. In my classroom, we also explore: * what’s happening in the world * what is right and wrong * how to think creatively and critically , not what to think * how to take ethical and independent decisions It’s not just a classroom. It’s a space for *holistic learning, critical thinking, and value-based growth.* During my work stint with Ministry of Skill Development ,Government of India and two years fellowship of Public policy and Management at IIM Ahmedabad ; I worked in the skilling ecosystem at the grassroots—engaging with institutions, exploring how education can integrate skills and talent, and conducting sessions around it. Through this journey, I have also engaged deeply with *field stories—listening to them, writing them, and learning from them*, understanding real lives beyond textbooks. I am also a published author of Aree Ohh Zindagi and the host of my podcast *“Sparsh: Zindagi Ka”*, where I engage in honest, real conversations with students and young people—conversations that directly shape my coaching work. Currently, I am also pursuing *Master’s in Sociology and an LLB (Law)*—continuing my journey as an avid learner and reader. Over time, I’ve understood something very clearly: **People don’t just struggle with failure. They struggle with what it does to them inside.** That’s why today, as an Emotional Resilience Coach, I work with: * students * aspirants * and anyone navigating confusion, setbacks, or emotional overwhelm I offer a safe, one-on-one space where you can: * speak freely * understand yourself * rebuild your confidence * and move forward with clarity This is not just coaching. It’s a space where you are truly understood.” :)
