Based on real conversations Some of the most defining moments in leadership don’t look like success.
They look like setbacks you never asked for.
Because setbacks don’t just shape us they reveal us.
After becoming a mother, I was demoted without explanation.
Soon after, I faced unspoken gender bias from investors.
What followed wasn’t just a career disruption, it was an identity reset.
I could’ve walked away quietly.
Instead, I chose to reimagine my life.
That season forced me to build resilience the hard way, by handling rejection, staying the course when outcomes were uncertain, and learning how to lead myself before leading others. Somewhere along that journey, I discovered the entrepreneur in me.
Today, I bring that lived experience into every room I speak in.
With over 21 years of leadership experience, I work with C-suite executives and senior leaders who are navigating high-stakes pressure, ambiguity, and invisible setbacks, the kind no one prepares you for. As a Keynote Speaker, Author, and Leadership Challenges Strategist, I help leaders turn disruption into their leadership advantage for unconventional growth.
My Setback SOP Framework has helped 50,000+ leaders globally move from “Why is this happening to me?” to “What is this preparing me for?”
When I’m not working with leaders, you’ll find me reading teen romance novels (yes, really), watching Bollywood movies, or striking up conversations with complete strangers because leadership insights often come from the most unexpected places.
And raising a teenager?
That’s my most demanding leadership lab yet.
If you’re ready to stop surviving your setbacks and start leading because of them, let’s talk.
Real Feedback Working with Srijata changed the way I lead. From the very first conversation, she brought a level of presence, insight, and precision that’s rare. She didn’t offer surface-level advice, she helped me see my blind spots, challenge my patterns, and lead with far more intention. The impact showed up not just in my work, but in how I make decisions every day

Srijata has a way of asking the exact question you’ve been avoiding and doing it with clarity and compassion. She took the time to understand my context, my pressures, and my long-term goals, not just the immediate problem. What followed wasn’t motivation, but real behavioural change. I walk into rooms differently now.
Senior Leader
Listening to Srijata speak was a turning point for our leadership team. Her ideas are grounded, practical, and deeply reflective. She doesn’t talk at you, she makes you think. Weeks later, her frameworks are still shaping how we lead conversations, manage uncertainty, and make decisions under pressure.

Srijata brings rare depth to leadership work. She blends lived experience with sharp insight, and she never defaults to generic advice. Every session felt intentional and challenging in the best way. If you’re serious about growing as a leader, not just performing the role her work creates real shift.
Manager at Deloitte
Working with Srijata was both grounding and transformative. She didn’t rush to solutions, she slowed the conversation down enough for real insight to emerge. Her ability to connect leadership challenges with internal patterns helped me make decisions with far more confidence and calm. The shift has been lasting, not temporary.

Srijata creates space for honest reflection without ever letting you stay comfortable. She listens deeply, challenges thoughtfully, and brings clarity exactly where it’s needed. What stood out most was how practical her guidance was every insight translated into action. I’ve carried her perspective into my leadership long after our work together ended.
