About Arushi Sharma
Sharp Strategy. Deeper Results.
I'm Arushi Sharma, a business strategy and leadership coach based in Bengaluru. Through Ask Arushi Sharma, my independent coaching practice, I work with MSME owners, founders and professionals across India and the Indian diaspora.
With 11 years of experience at the intersection of leadership training and business coaching, I've built a reputation for getting to the real problem fast - and doing something about it.
I work with founders and leaders to help them grow - not just their revenue, but their capacity to lead what they're building. The strategy I build with you is grounded in your actual business: your numbers, your gaps, your specific situation. What I bring beyond that is a background in psychology and a sharp eye for patterns - the kind that show up repeatedly in how people lead, decide, and get in their own way.
My approach is straightforward: I'll help you find direction when you're unclear or overwhelmed, and I'll push back hard when you're avoiding the hard thing. Every engagement is built around your specific situation and what meaningful progress actually looks like for you.

Who does Arushi work with?
MSME owners
Owners of MSMEs and small businesses who want real revenue growth, systems that actually work, and a team that doesn't need them for everything. Clients include clinics, manufacturers, family businesses, design studios and IT firms, and the problems repeat: no clear ideal customer, work priced too low, and an owner who is the bottleneck for every decision.
Founders and leaders
Founders, managers and senior professionals who feel overwhelmed, a little invisible, or frustrated that their team won't step up. 1:1 coaching works on decision-making, team influence, executive presence and the personal systems that prevent burnout.
Managers and teams
Over her 11‑year career, Arushi has run Performance Breakthrough Workshops for leadership teams and executives from organisations like Flipkart, upGrad, Tally Solutions and Trident Group. Managers learn to set KRAs and KPIs, give feedback and resolve conflict. Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 94 participants.
