Pramila Kalive

Chief Operating Officer Mastek

‘Be yourself, the world will adjust’ – This is my core belief and has shaped my approach to life and has helped me to create immense value for myself and others in my life.

The ‘Star Fish’ story – This is the story of my life and best defines my purpose. The opportunity to make a difference is the greatest gift that we are all blessed with and I am committed to taking this gift to others.

In my own professional journey of over three decades, I have been blessed with incredible mentors and coaches, who helped me in unlocking my full potential and shaping who I am today.

My coaching philosophy is guided by the belief that every person has the agency and capacity to transform, and it is powered by the purpose of partnering with people in their transformation journeys.

Authencity and honesty are integral to my coaching approach which is centered around my clients. Coaching is a journey of my clients, by them and for them. As a coach, I partner with them as they embark on a journey of self discovery, self awareness and significant shifts that help them in their transformation journeys.

My professional journey of over three decades has been across Industries and roles ranging from a Missile scientist and a Software professional to a Global HR leader and a Business leader. This versatility of experience has helped fuel and sustain my curiosity and appetite for learning, develop agility in my coaching style and partner with empathy and honesty.

I have had the opportunity to be a coach partner in the coaching journeys of many professionals and leaders and work with them as a coach, to help them in discovering and playing to their full potential.
