A brush with cancer sparked his interest and commitment to Holistic Health and Personal Growth, also serving as an impetus to re-order his own priorities. 

Vijay is a qualified practitioner in some of the latest tools in the field. He has done courses in the Art Of Coaching, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Family Constellation Therapy and The Enneagram, among others.

Vijay’s approach is based on a unique synthesis of the concepts he has learned and practised, plus of course his own lived experience. It centres on three key premises. One: All life’s transitions, positive or negative, are opportunities for deeper self-awareness. Two: Deeper self-awareness is the necessary first step on the road to transformation. Three: It is an organic process; most likely to be achieved in a secure and caring environment under the guidance of a trained facilitator.

Previously, Vijay spent 21 years with Ogilvy & Mather in various leadership positions. He has lived in Mumbai, Bangalore, Singapore, London, and Hong Kong. He has worked with major corporations and leading brands around the world. Most recently, he served on Ogilvy’s Asia-Pacific Board as Regional Strategy Director, overseeing Corporate Strategy, Account Planning and Training/Talent Development for 20 countries across Asia.

Vijay has extensive teaching experience in industry and academia. In addition to his one-on-one coaching work, he is also a corporate trainer and consultant in the areas of  leadership, strategy and creative thinking.
