Dear Ma'am, since Sir and you have helped me get into the college and through all the big decisions I have made about my college life, I want to inform you that I have been placed at Deloitte as an Associate Analyst. My joining date is July 2022.

Thank you for your encouragement and advice. Your analogy with reference to the righteous defeating the evil has aligned me to understand the circumstances in which I was caught up in. Thanks so much.

My current job was not giving me happiness and I was lost in defining my career. I had some aspirations but I was not able to take the next steps. I approached Fermata for Career Planning & Guidance. The career counselors helped me in a structured way to understand myself better and make a list of my career aspirations. Their step by step methodology, along with a lot of patience and professionalism helped me in narrowing down my career choices to two options from my list of aspirations and desires. We interacted through both online and offline modes and the online mode was equally interactive and warm as the offline mode. I thank them for the career guidance and in helping me to believe that my current qualifications will always be relevant in whatever I choose to do in my life.

The session was great. Thank you so much for helping me make that connect. Now things make more sense. I would like this whole exercise to be a sustained one for at least this year. So apart from the 2-3 initial sessions that I would be having with you, it will be great if we can also schedule some follow up sessions once in 2-3 months to see if I am not getting stuck.

The team helped me in understanding my existing skillsets through an online assessment tool. On the basis of the report, the experts suggested that I enroll in the Life Skills Program for the Teachers. I took the course. It was well designed and tailor-made for my personal and professional needs. I am now halfway through the program. As of now, I am able to understand myself better and appreciate my talents, and figured out how I can use them for my teaching job. Overall, the training has helped me in the development of my professional, personal and social skills.

Umaa Arun helped me understand how I can niche down on my: (i) Business offerings & framework (ii) Customer market (iii) 6 months target (iv) How to build & sustain my revenue model (v) Macro & micro action plans.

Her coaching and mentoring helped me fine tune my ideas into scalable, revenue generating products and also to align my purpose and vision to solve my problems.

Umaa Arun is indeed a great Business Coach and someone who can help a person think about the ideas they have to solve a problem and build it into a monetising module.

Umaa Arun is an extremely skilled and knowledgeable business coach, but what I loved the most is - she was genuinely interested in our success! To me she was a staunch supporter. She worked her way up to understanding me and my business, and suggested action points which proved valuable.

A unique business leader and coach, Umaa is proficient whilst she manages a bundle of assignments for her clients. Umaa has a knack for problem solving and inculcating a growth mindset – all that in a visible collaborative mode. This gets abundantly reflected in her over 3 decades of loaded experience in varied domains by way of marquee interventions, thereby vastly benefitting her clients and mentees.

Umaa Arun has created innumerable winning teams – many frontrunners amongst those donning leadership positions in credible organizations or else leveraging the learnings in their entrepreneurial forays. I would recommend Umaa to Corporates, Startups, Family driven ventures or aspiring individuals to seek her guidance enroute to joining the vital dots; all this while positioning themselves distinctly different amidst clutter. That to me is the real value addition that Umaa can create in the ecosystem around her! That in many ways is also a testimony of her approach to humbly reciprocate with her trademark uniqueness quotient.

I did not realize the importance of a good mentor (while being a business coach too) running a start-up until I met Umaa Arun. The second phase dealt with investment readiness and Umaa Arun helped me assess my current standing very well and shared pointers for improvement. I worked on her suggestions with respect to what investors look for while investing in startups and set up my long-term and short-term goals accordingly. I strongly recommend young entrepreneurs looking for strategic advice and investment readiness to connect with her and other mentors who can be good advisors to avoid mistakes before approaching investors.

There are very few conversations in your life that you find worthy of replaying again and again in your mind, and then there are fewer ones that make you want to 'do' something more... Conversations with Umaa Arun were exactly that way!!! I thank you wholeheartedly for such amazing business coaching-mentoring sessions, the extra time and effort that you put in with us, and the deep insights which have helped us tremendously…

I have known Umaa for half a decade now. Through our engagement sessions, I got an opportunity to see the value behind what she does as a business coach.

Umaa's superpower is her ability to listen with patience and intent. Her expertise in organizational psychology and her experience as a business coach enables her to empower organizations to deliver better outcomes.

During our conversations together she gave raring ideas on "How to make Expedify a Kickass place to work at", one of our Organizational Objectives.

We are currently measuring and executing them and are experiencing positive results. I would highly recommend Umaa for an organization focusing on employee engagement and developing a positive workplace environment.

Umaa's profound business knowledge and insightful ideas truly stand out as exemplary. I am already diligently implementing the suggestions provided by her, and the profitable outcomes have not only increased my self-confidence but are totally motivating me to experiment more!

Umaa Arun is dedicated to unlocking the true potential of entrepreneurs and dispelling limiting beliefs. Our conversation helped me realize how important it is for my customers to know what I do and why I do it.

The demarcation between different aspects of business, how to structure my business was very helpful. I have been wanting to define roles and assign tasks for my team for a while. And it doesn't get done. My conversations with Umaa opened ways to do that.

Umaa's ability to read and understand the underlying meaning of an introvert's (mine) thoughts and ideas was extremely helpful, as I gained confidence in clean, clear, improved communication! These insights have helped in giving shape to my marketing strategy too.

My conversations with Umaa helped me fine tune my brand positioning and marketing strategy, particularly when it came to her suggestion on creating educational videos for my niche product. Her conversations motivated me & shifted my perceptions about hard work and commitment!

Umaa Arun is all about helping new businesses and entrepreneurs, offering fresh perspectives and valuable expertise. When we discussed marketing strategies, Umaa Ma'am introduced me to some innovative ideas I'd never considered. And get this – she even offered to connect me with her investor contacts! My interactions with her have opened me to new perspectives and strategies!
