Our interactions with Ashika have really proved to be very valuable. We, as an institution, have always believed that mental wellness in the workplace is a right of every professional. The two corporate training programs conducted by Ashika in the recent past led to a lot more acceptance of this phenomena, and professionals really value the learnings from her webinars.
We do believe that as a psychologist Ashika, with her a wide range of experience and empathy, has the ability to connect and draw people out. This is a very valuable feature, and it is for this reason that we are proceeding further with Ashika and deepening our engagement. We wish her all success in the journey ahead and look forward to her partnering with us as we create a culture, environment, mental wellness and happiness in the workplace.

Ashika has dual expertise of being a psychotherapist and corporate coach. She is a subject matter expert but more importantly she understands her audience and is able to talk to them in a language they relate to.
She puts them at ease and helps them introspect and arrive at solutions that they believe in and thus will implement. She is able to relate not only to people in the workforce but also to young adults. She is all about process and outcome.

Chairman, Bharat Serums and Vaccines
Ashika's workshop on Effective Communication Strategies was very well received. She has a very clear and persuasive manner of speaking.
She is able to connect with a diverse range of audiences. My team was captivated by the content and engaged throughout the session. They were motivated to incorporate her practical suggestions into their work and personal relationships.

Ashika’s session has always had a great impact on our participants, who experience her passion for the topic, her deep expertise on the social, economic and psychological contexts of this dilemma, as well as her sense of activism.
Ashika opens a perspective on Mumbai that is otherwise not visible to our participants, many of whom become emotionally charged and motivated to ameliorate the situation of trafficking as a result of talking with her.
We have loved having Ashika as part of our program. What is exemplary about working with her is the thought she puts into preparation ahead of the session, her ease of interaction with diverse and global group of participants, and willingness to follow up on individuals’ concerns about the topic of human trafficking.
SUKETU SHAH
Jt Managing Director, Mukund Ltd. | YPO, Gold
Ashika is a talented, insightful and empathic person. She has the unique advantages of being an extremely well educated and trained professional, a mother (of two young boys), the wife of a successful entrepreneur and being deeply engaged with an NGO that works with the children of sex workers. Combine these with great communication skills, and you have an outstanding resource.
Ashika did a program for YPO Gold Mumbai on sex trafficking which she curated and moderated. Though the content was emotionally difficult (as can be imagined), it was very well received.
She is a skilled moderator, speaker and coach.
