needed basis. Coaching is done by a professional outside of the company with no
authority over the Client, is a formal relationship and uses a semi-structured format

coaching you do

Difference between Consulting and Coaching
› Consulting is more about being viewed as the expert. Consultants are the ones who› Consulting is more about being viewed as the expert. Consultants are the ones who
give you direct answers to specific problems. It’s about having the right answers
› Also, the end product of most consulting is a report with recommendations. Once the
report is finished so is the consulting relationship. In coaching, the assessment is only
the beginning of the relationship. A coach will walk along side of you as you
implement your plan
Coaches come in as a partner to you and your business. It’s about asking the right
questions. In coaching, you are the expert in your business, not the coach.

Co-Founder Josh Talks - a
platform to discover and share
meaningful ideas and inspiring
stories from all across India.
When you are in the early days of your entrepreneurial career things are moving so fast that it is
hard to see the value of sitting down with a coach for a few hours each week and talking! Who
needs that, right? Wrong! The most productive and useful two hours I spend in my week are with
Amit Sir. If there is one thing I would recommend to my brother when he is starting his company is
that he should get coaching.
I recommend these sessions so strongly, that I am willing to say that if an entrepreneur does not
see the immense value in them he is not serious about making his business successful.

Running my Blockchain startup, linkDapps, was daunting and often challenging. Understanding the
market needs, evolving a use case, and navigating the startup ecosystem would have been
impossible for us without the able coaching & mentoring of Mr. Chawla. He has a very systematic
and evolved style of coaching that was perfect for each stage of our journey. From initial guidance
at the idea stage to detailed coaching and mentoring support as we evolved our product, Mr.
Chawla's wealth of industry experience has been instrumental in shaping the growth story of our
startup.
