Diagnostic Sprint
Four weeks to a root cause.
Confidential interviews, a short survey and a hard look at your own data. You get a written root-cause report and a leadership readout with the three changes that matter most.

Find the real problem.Then fix it.
Coach Chakra helps leadership teams understand what is actually holding their people back. We listen, measure and diagnose, then hand you a root cause clear enough to act on.

Our view
Attrition. Disengagement. Managers who don't lead. Most organisations treat the symptom in front of them, and the symptom comes back. We go one layer down, to the cause nobody in the room can see from where they sit.
What we do
Diagnosis first. Development second.

Insight Retainer
An outside head of insight.
A monthly listening round, a one-page readout and a standing review with the leader. Problems surface while they are still small and cheap to fix.

Leadership Programmes
The fix, built on the evidence.
Coaching for managers and routines for teams, designed around what the diagnosis found. Nothing generic, nothing off the shelf.

Every engagement starts with a question someone can't quite answer.
The Diagnostic Sprint
Four weeks, four movements.
A fixed scope and a fixed price, so you know what you are buying before we begin.
Week 1
Listen
Fifteen to twenty-five confidential conversations across levels: leaders, managers, the people doing the work, and where it matters, your customers.
→ Interview notes, early themes
Week 2
Measure
A short pulse survey to test what we heard at scale, alongside the data you already hold: attrition, engagement scores, performance, exits.
→ Survey results, data review
Week 3
Diagnose
We separate symptoms from causes. Patterns are checked against the evidence until one explanation holds up better than the rest.
→ The root cause, in writing
Week 4
Readout
A plain-English report and a 90-minute session with your leadership team. We leave you with the three changes that will matter most.
→ Report, readout, three changes
Who we work with
For the people accountable for how a team performs.
CHROs & L&D heads
Attrition, low engagement and managers who don't lead, in organisations of 200 to 5,000 people.
Often starts with a Diagnostic SprintBusiness heads & CXOs
A function or team that underperforms, and nobody can say exactly why.
Sprint, then a programmeFounders
Growing pains in 50 to 500 person companies: leadership gaps, culture drift, customer churn.
Often an Insight RetainerConsulting & training firms
A research arm for your own client work, so your programmes rest on evidence.
Partner and white-label workHow we think
Three principles we don't bend.
i.
Evidence before opinion
We arrive without a favourite answer. What people say, what the survey shows and what your data records all have to agree before we call something a cause.
ii.
Root cause before remedy
A workshop can't fix a structural problem, and coaching can't fix a broken incentive. We find out which kind of problem you have before anyone prescribes anything.
iii.
Fewer, clearer changes
A forty-slide deck changes nothing. You get a short report in plain English and three changes, ranked, with owners.
Insights
Research, and the rooms where it gets argued over.
The Chakra Roundtable
Ten HR and business leaders, one theme, ninety minutes. Findings first, then an open and off-the-record conversation.
Why good managers quit
What exit interviews miss, and what managers say when nobody from HR is in the room.
The first ninety days
What new joiners notice about a culture before they learn to stop noticing it.

In their words
What clients say
From people Shruti has coached one-to-one.
“Shruti has been coaching me for a few months now, and the experience has been transformational. Every little trick, insight and alternate perspective she has offered is something I try to practise every day.”
“Her approach was amazing, making me realise my strengths and weaknesses and how to break out of them. There are situations where one needs guidance without opinions being thrust on you, and Shruti does a great job of it.”
“To ask for help is the best thing one can do, and Shruti can help a great deal. Her guidance is the best thing to have happened to me in a long time.”
“Each challenge I presented was converted into a corresponding action, tagged to a positive, achievable outcome. Coaching helped align my thoughts with my actions and understand my priorities.”
