Nanda Botadkar
Master NLP Practitioner and Conscious Business & Leadership Coach
Through building self-awareness, resilience, and growth, coaching transforms lives to align passion with performance and vision with action. Among the many voices sculpting this transformative space, Nanda Botadkar stands as a beacon of empathy, authenticity, and wisdom.
With over 17 years of experience as a Counselling Psychologist and eight years as a Conscious Business & Leadership Coach, Nanda, a Master NLP Practitioner, brings the best blend of both into her perspective as a PCC-certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation (ICF), a TEDx speaker, and the creator of the FAB Life Framework.
Her initiative, FAB Life, is more than a brand - it's a philosophy that inspires people to reclaim Freedom, cultivate Abundance, and restore Balance in their personal and professional lives. “FAB Life is about living with alignment where your mind, heart, and actions move in harmony, not in competition”, Nanda explains.
Her coaching journey didn’t begin in a boardroom; it began in her living room, watching the man she loved silently burn out under the weight of his own success. That heartbreak became the seed of her mission to ensure that no one else carries their struggles alone.
A Holistic, Heart-Centered Approach to Leadership & Growth
What sets Nanda Botadkar apart is her rare ability to blend science with soul. Her coaching is not confined by frameworks or metrics; it’s intensely human, rooted in emotional intelligence and experiential learning. Through the FAB Life philosophy, she helps leaders evolve from doing to being, guiding them to attain inner fulfillment while excelling in their outer world.
Her work spans across leadership mentoring, business coaching, and emotional well-being programs. Signature offerings such as ‘Lead from Within’, ‘Business Brilliance Lab’, and ‘Inside Out
Leadership Circles’ have been designed to help entrepreneurs, founders, and CXOs align their vision with values, strengthen emotional fitness, and rediscover purpose.
Under FAB Life Corporate, her Transformational Leadership Labs bring emotional intelligence and neuroscience into boardrooms to help teams in building trust, resilience, and collaborative excellence. Be it mentoring a senior executive who is battling burnout or guiding a homemaker toward being an entrepreneur, her method is personalized with each story, bringing clarity, compassion, and accountability.
From Personal Loss to a Purpose-Driven Calling
Behind Nanda Botadkar’s calm strength lies a deeply personal story that shaped her path. In 2015, she lost her husband, a gifted artist and entrepreneur who silently bore the burden of pressure and isolation until it overwhelmed him.
That loss shattered her world but also ignited a new sense of purpose. She realized how many successful people silently struggle without a safe space to express vulnerability. Determined to be that space for others, she committed to coaching, blending her background in psychology with the transformative power of forward-focused guidance.
Over the years, her empathy has turned into her most powerful tool, one anchoring her deep connections with leaders, professionals, and creators who seem so strong on the outside but are uncertain within.
Beyond coaching, her roots as a counseling psychologist and spiritual teacher with the Art of Living Foundation have helped her create a unique synthesis of practical psychology, mindfulness, and breathwork in her sessions. Nanda also embraces technology as an enabler of freedom and connection. She leverages digital platforms to coach clients across continents, proving that meaningful transformation knows no boundaries of geography.
“Technology is a bridge, not a barrier, it allows us to connect minds and hearts across distances without losing authenticity," Nanda says. Her open, adaptive spirit keeps her learning from younger generations and integrating digital tools without losing the warmth of human connection.
Future Vision
Nanda Botadkar envisions extending the FAB Life movement across borders, especially in regions like Dubai, where she is developing initiatives for the empowerment of women in emotional growth and self-leadership. In recognition of her impact, she was honored with the Top 50 Global Inspirational Women’ Entrepreneurs Award 2024 - Dubai, a testament to her growing influence and leadership in the global coaching community.
Her collaborations with these platforms serve as a catalyst to reach out to more and more entrepreneurs, founders, and change makers that are looking for clarity and alignment. With each passing year, she aspires to build a network of conscious leaders who think, behave, and create businesses reflecting the FAB ideals in their lives.
She dreams of seeing every single individual lead with calm confidence, emotional intelligence, and purpose-driven energy. And, in her unstoppable effort to inspire lives across the globe, she remains a living example of her own philosophy i.e.; how fulfillment does not come from external success but actually from inner alignment. Her journey stands as a reminder that through pain, one can have profound purpose.
