Journey of Krishna to AskKrishna

There is a fundamental human need to be better and continuously evolve, which is the most compelling aspect of this beautiful journey called life. It is an authentic need to be a better human, as an individual, as a family and in business too.

Krishna, a mindfulness and leadership coach with over two decades of experience, felt it is not a question about the authenticity of your need, but more importantly about knowing how to be better and what it means to “being“ better. Thus, began the journey of AskKrishna.

With Masters in Psychology, Yoga, Computer Applications, Business Administration and Educational Administration, he has been the key driver behind the various corporate and institutional programs at AskKrishna.

Over the last 20 + years, he along with the AskKrishna team has delivered training programs, learning and development content and talk shows for corporates and institutions, in the mindfulness domain.
