Cross-Cultural Training and Soft Skills Development

About Me
I am an experienced India-based intercultural and certified life skills development coach with over 20 years of experience working with corporates and individuals.
Raised by Indian parents in the UK, I worked for Reuters after graduating from Kingston University, before relocating to Mumbai in the 1990's.
Having lived and worked in two diverse cultures equipped me with the skills and experience to impart effective cross-cultural training programs to both Indian and global teams.

Testimonials
Asmita was Amazing! She gave very thorough answers to every question I had and added in information I didn't even know to ask. She tailored the conversation to our needs, made me feel more comfortable and confident about the move, and made me feel at ease with all my concerns. I now know what I need to do to prepare for the move and all the nuances that I'll need to be ready for. I can't thank Asmita enough for her great coaching!
I feel like Asmita took everything we needed and made sure we covered the most important aspects of India and the culture.
This is an invaluable service and I could see the benefit of having even more time with her as a coach. I'm excited for the move and implementing everything I've learned!

Asmita trained me and my family how to adapt to India as an expat. Her approach of answering our questions by giving examples and explain how India works was really helpful. With her background with one foot in Europe and one in India made her answers really understandable. In India you normally cannot assume that someone really understand you fully since words have another meaning, but with Asmita I was fully confident that she really understood my situation and could give me answers or solutions that I, as a western European, am able to do. My everyday life in India became really easier after her training.
