Built on a Century of Coaching and Leadership Experience

Coacharya has been a global coach training organization since January 2013, co-founded by Ram S. Ramanathan, among Asia’s first few ICF-credentialed PCC and MCC coaches, and Pranav S. Ramanathan. Drawing on seventy years of combined executive and coaching experience, they built an organization that integrates Eastern philosophy with global practices in coaching and leadership development. 

Coacharya prepares coaches for ICF certification and equips leaders with embodied awareness, leadership presence, and cultural intelligence. Today, with more than one hundred years of collective experience in coaching, training, leadership, and organizational transformation, the executive team continues to ensure Coacharya is a trusted partner for developing coaches and leaders worldwide.
