Darshita’s life journey is an embodiment of the transition ‘from the bottom 1%, to the top 1%, for 100% of the planet’.

She is a millennial, Indian woman, born in Mumbai, into the lowest social caste of a poor non-English speaking conservative Hindu family. She then qualified with an M.Com & as ‘47th all-India rank’ Chartered Accountant. This led her to working with board directors of India’s largest foreign bank, Standard Chartered in Operational Risk & Investment Banking.

As her perspectives widened, her path shifted to ‘upgrading the human operating system’. She re-trained as a leadership coach & facilitator, working with entrepreneurs, leaders & organisations including through intensive developmental ‘Immersion’ journeys.

A growing sensing that leadership development alone was neither a full-deployment of her capacities nor the primary route for effecting optimal systemic change. Darshita co-founded Blu-Dot - a global-system integration service provider & incubator, as a vehicle to address complex business and societal challenges in a more sustainable, conscious, and strategic way.

Throughout, she is unconditionally & relentlessly supported by her ‘gurus at home’, being her ‘playfully provoking & inspiring’ husband Rowan & her ‘little star’ Tara.

“Darshita is a visionary with an extraordinary ability to bring people together for collective action, innovation, and achievement. Her positive presence and power comes from the purity of her motivations to build a better world. She is an inspiration.” - Prof. David Cooperrider, Organisational Behaviour, Case Western Reserve & Founder ‘Appreciative Inquiry’
