The Second Arc was founded on the understanding that challenge is the starting point of change and change is the foundation of growth.
We help people and organizations turn challenges into meaningful change — driven by empathy, insight, and purpose.
Decode behavior, improve communication, and build emotional agility.
Guide teams through culture shifts and leadership realignment.
Curate growth experiences that develop self-awareness and collaboration.
The part where things turn around, where reflection becomes growth, and growth becomes transformation.
The Second Arc was born from the belief that adversity can be the most powerful teacher.
Founded by an IIM alum who turned personal challenges into purpose, we help people and organizations do the same by reshaping mindsets, rebuilding confidence, and redefining what’s possible.
From modest beginnings and uncertain times to the halls of the Indian Institute of Management, our founder’s journey became a living example of transformation , a proof that growth begins when we stop seeing challenges as limitations and start treating them as turning points. That spirit defines everything we do - guiding individuals and organizations to discover their own second arc, where change becomes intentional and transformation becomes lasting.
Our Mission
To empower people and organizations to discover their second arc — a space where change becomes possible, resilience becomes power, and growth becomes intentional.
Our Vision
To be a trusted partner in human-centered transformation — helping people and workplaces evolve through empathy, insight, and purpose.

We’ve all had moments where the path forward seems blocked. My own journey from a modest background taught me that the right guidance can turn a crisis into a catalyst. I created The Second Arc to be the partner I wish I’d had during those complex times. We don’t just manage change; we help you embrace the resilience required to evolve. Our mission is simple: to prove that with the right awareness, every setback is actually the start of your most successful chapter yet.
