A journey for women to come home to their true selves – their Shakti and rise from there.
Two decades. Over 2,000 women. One stubborn question: what does it actually take to live consciously, lead powerfully, and stay whole? Shakti Yatra is my attempt at an answer.
I come from a traditional Marwadi joint family. My parents and grandparents come from Shegaon in Maharashtra and Fatehpur in Rajasthan. When I wanted to pursue my higher education – CA and MBA – they were worried: “How will we find a guy if you study so much?”
I questioned. I persisted. I fought. I did both.
I joined the family business at sixteen. I qualified as a Chartered Accountant. I went on to do my MBA at IIM Kozhikode. I became the first working woman in my family.
I spent the next two decades across Goldman Sachs, KPMG, Intellecap and Sattva – working on capital, climate, gender, and the intersection of all three. At Intellecap and Sattva I worked on the climate-and-gender lens that very few in the development sector were holding properly.
The first time I started living my Ikigai was when I quit my job at KPMG and took a 50% pay cut to do work that finally felt mine. Long before I knew that it was called Swadharma, I slowly started practicing it every single day through my work.
Alongside the work in development and capital, I had been quietly supporting women on their personal finances – and over time, on their careers, their wealth, their relationships, their inner lives.
Across two decades and 2,000+ women, I kept noticing the same thing: women weren’t stuck because they didn’t know what to do. They were stuck because they were navigating trade-offs in systems that were not designed for them.
Ambition and rest. Earning and giving. Independence and connection. The tension between these wasn’t a problem to solve. It was a reality to live inside – and most of us were quietly losing ourselves trying to resolve it the wrong way.
I had been living purposeful work for over a decade by the time the Purnam Karmayoga Fellowship came in – but the Fellowship gave me the container to scale that practice for other women.
Inside that experience, the architecture of Shakti Yatra started to form. Not a retreat. Not a course. A real journey – across places that hold genuine power, with women who’ve actually walked the path, structured to land in the body and the your practice, not just the mind.
In January 2026, twelve women said yes to a journey nobody had run before. They became the path-shapers – co-creating, course-correcting, telling me what worked and what didn’t. The Impact Report tells their story.
What I learned from Cohort 1 is that this work matters. Not abstractly. Concretely. To these specific women, in these specific cities, with these specific shifts. So we keep going.
We are often told women are not good at finance – and many of us leave it to a partner or male family member. The truth is: women are excellent investors when they trust themselves. The intellectual side is learnable. The inner side – feeling safe, worthy, and trusting yourself with money – is what most financial advice never touches.
Shakti Yatra is held by Shruti – and by a circle of leaders whose work has shaped how we think about leadership, money, embodiment, and the divine feminine.
