India’s Executive Coach at the Intersection of Leadership and AI
If you are a senior professional navigating a high-stakes leadership role in India — managing large teams, driving digital transformation, leading Data and AI mandates, or preparing for your next level of corporate authority — Mayank Dhanwantri is the executive coach built for your world.
As the founder of CorporateDronacharya, a certified corporate coaching and advisory practice based in Bengaluru, Mayank brings something most leadership coaches cannot offer: 24+ years of lived experience at the top of Indian and global organisations, paired with a structured, proprietary coaching methodology that accelerates real, measurable leadership transformation.
He does not coach from theory. He coaches from the room where the decisions were made, the room where the teams were built, and the room where the outcomes were owned.
A Career That Earns Its Place in the Coaching Room
Mayank’s credibility as an executive coach in India is rooted in a career that spans some of the most demanding corporate environments in the country.
As Director at KPMG, he managed a $25 million P&L, led enterprise-scale teams and delivery organisations, and drove organisational excellence that achieved CMMi Level 3 certification in under ten months — a benchmark that typically takes years. His tenure at Bharti Airtel and Flipkart gave him firsthand experience of scaling functions from the ground up, building high-performance teams, and leading business transformation at enterprise scale.
Across his career, Mayank has driven over $400 million in revenue and efficiency impact, including $270 million in cost savings — a track record that informs every coaching conversation about strategy, accountability, and what it truly means to own outcomes at a senior level.
He also holds a US Patent in AI/ML Intelligent Automation, making him one of the very few executive coaches in India who combines a deep, practitioner-level understanding of Generative AI and intelligent automation with a certified, structured coaching practice.
Academic Rigour That Sharpens the Coaching Edge
What distinguishes Mayank in India’s growing executive coaching landscape is the rare convergence of corporate pedigree and academic depth — each continuously sharpening the other.
An engineering alumnus of BITS Pilani, he is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) specialising in Generative AI at Golden Gate University — research that directly informs his coaching work with leaders navigating AI disruption, workforce transformation, and the future of senior leadership in India.
His professional credentials span multiple disciplines: Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, Certified Scrum Master (CSM), and Certified Product Owner (CSPO) — frameworks he has deployed not just in corporate operations, but in shaping the structured, outcome-driven coaching methodology at the heart of CorporateDronacharya.
As a registered mentor with the Global Mentorship Institute, Mayank brings to every engagement a commitment to structured accountability — not just inspiration, but measurable progress.
A Coaching Philosophy Rooted in Indian Wisdom
CorporateDronacharya is not named by accident.
The practice draws its identity and philosophy from one of ancient India’s most profound relationships — the guru–shishya tradition, the sacred bond between a master teacher and a devoted student. In the Mahabharata, Dronacharya was not remembered for his own skill with the bow. He was remembered for what he saw in Arjuna — and for what he did to bring that potential fully into the world.
That is the philosophy behind every coaching engagement here.
The coach’s job is not to be impressive. It is to see the coachee clearly — their strengths, their blind spots, their untapped potential, and the precise conditions they need to grow. It is to walk alongside them with rigour and care until they become the leader they are capable of being.
