Give us brief details about your educational and professional background. Also, explain about your role at aspirise and how are you leveraging the best of your experience across your company's operations?

I ama Psychology graduate with a management degree in Human Resources, having 20 years of professional experience. As a corporate professional, I have worked in human resources, training and development and facilitated over 100s of workshops. The inception of AspiRise happened as an idea in 2009 with a budding desire to serve humanity. But the company got wings when Manish Dhawan came onboard in 2016 and took over as a Co-Founder, expanding its vision and establishing its core values, purpose and mission to provide services in the areas of wellness and mindfulness to individuals and corporates. As a couple, both me and my husband Manish function as spiritual and business coaches jointly, supporting the community and spreading the message of joyful living.

Tell us about aspirise along with the services that you offer. And, also how do you uniquely run the functions of the company?

Our work involves training our participants to become powerful manifestors by sharing and teaching the principles and practises of‘Law of Attraction’ and assist in helping them become deliberate creators of their life experiences. Besides supporting in building powerful and empowering thoughts, we also equip them with processes and tools to manage their emotions of anger, anxiety, fear, sadness etc. so they can deal with their everyday demanding situations from a space of balance and harmony.

“In all our programs, ranging from life coaching, law of attraction workshops, corporate workshops/ coachings or spiritual retreats, what makes us unique is our unconditional support”

In all our programs, ranging from Life Coaching, Law of Attraction workshops, corporate workshops/ coachings or Spiritual retreats, what makes us unique is our unconditional support and presence along with our commitment to serve our clients and walk the path with them. We handhold them in rebuilding their faith in the process of life and reinforce the importance of staying aligned (with Source and the universal principles taught as per LoA) each time they fall back and swing into contrasts, giving up hope and giving in to despair. We help them evaluate their options when they perceive life through the filter of past victim stories and take ownership for the realities they have created for themselves. A journey into self-realisation and self-awareness makes them powerful creators, believing in all the possibilities that lie ahead of them, which they can manifest feeling evermore joyous and grateful, from their place of worthiness and a willingness to surrender to the universal intelligence of life.

Additionally, we would like to emphasise that as an organisation, our principles are not about wanting to compete in business; instead, we believe in collaborating with fellow organisations in the industry so the power of service can be multiplied and more people can be helped.

Could you highlight about the recent and upcoming projects that you have under your belt? What are your strategies and methodologies in achieving the best of the results?

The lockdown from March 2020 opened up immense opportunities to help us create many online offerings. We have been designing and conducting online Law of Attraction courses, specifically aimed at enhancing health, wealth and relationships. Besides, the corporate space now is so focussed around the wellbeing of its employees, that wellness and meditation programs have become an integral part of their training. We have been partnering with our corporate clients to present mindfulness and meditation sessions since some time now, and this support is highly appreciated and acknowledged through sustained continuity.

Moreover, we have always believed in harnessing our best gifts and share them with people who can benefit; and this helped us create a series of healing meditations on SoundCloud during the lockdown months from March to August 2020. These meditations have spread across 43 countries with over 4000 people listening and benefitting from them. We felt that these are the times when people need maximum support in helping them make sense of the realities that are manifesting around. We are so overwhelmed with the responses and also the openness of people to stay focussed on their alignment to the Source of All Creation.

What are your future plans? Where do you see the company moving in the coming days?

Our goal is to scale and maximise our reach to many people by the end of 2021 through various online courses on LOA and other services that we offer, besides continuing to work with corporates, schools and many other institutions. Also, due to the current pandemic situation, we have moved over 90 percent of our work online and have seen significant growth from March 2020 onwards.

Furthermore, we will be working with schools and colleges to help build a strong foundation around life skills to empower children with real-life issues. Various marketing channels like social, print and voice are used along with referral programs that can help us spread this work and continue these initiatives through creative ways to maximise our reach.
