Mindsetters Club.

Team Mindsetters

Building a Club that nurtures a generation who dream big, live strong and contribute beyond themselves.

Kavita Bhupathi Chadda

Founder

Former CEO of Globosport, with an MBA from Wake Forest University School of Business with over 22 years in sports, entertainment and marketing. Mother of two daughters, the eldest of whom is a teenager.

Kavita's career has brought her into close contact with elite athletes, high performers, leading brands and global talent, giving her a firsthand view of what helps people sustain ambition, build resilience and perform under pressure. She has spent years building the rooms, networks and opportunities for talented people.

Building here: With Mindsetters Club, Kavita is bringing those principles to teenagers: from a close peer circle and thoughtfully designed environments where teens can thrive, to formative coaching, practical skill-building and meaningful access to experienced mentors and experts.

Charu Choksi

Founding Team

Chemical engineer from Michigan Technological University, entrepreneur and mother of two. Experience at Kimberly-Clark in the US, founding Pink Ginger Arts in India as well as proactive philanthropy.

Charu's journey has been anything but linear: it has involved changing direction, starting again and taking a sixteen-year pause from career growth to raise her daughters. Along the way, she has seen that the qualities which most shape a life, curiosity, discipline, resilience, flexibility and the confidence to keep learning, are rarely built through textbooks alone.

Building here: a place where healthy ambition and a champion's mindset aren't just big words, they're skills teenagers learn by doing, until they become part of who they are.

Cheryl Dutta

Founding Team

Former Air Force Officer and Helicopter pilot — Three decades across military aviation, entrepreneurship, coaching, and expressive arts therapy. That range is built into the club's DNA: discipline and creativity in equal measure.

She has coached at Mindvalley, the world's most powerful personal growth platform, SolaVieve, a global health and wellness company and Leap Club, a community led platform exclusively for Women in leadership roles, helping people experience real transformation and growth. She is a European Mentoring and Coaching Council Accredited Coach and Mentor, a certified Life and Career Transition Coach, and a Trauma-Informed Expressive Arts Therapist.

At Mindsetters, she runs the machinery of the club: operations, inner circle program, and the systems that make every experience feel seamless and special.

Building here: an ecosystem where teenagers turn ambition into performance, and pressure into growth.

Advisory Board

Leaders across sport, business, education and talent development, guiding and holding the Club to a high standard.

Mahesh Bhupathi

Former World No. 1 doubles player and 12-time Grand Slam champion. Spent his career understanding what it takes to perform at the highest level — focus, discipline, preparation, consistent habits, and the ability to keep going through setbacks. Those lessons shaped his success on court, and continue to shape the way he approaches business and life today.

A serial entrepreneur and founder of Globosport and the International Premier Tennis League, carrying those same lessons from sport into building businesses and teams.

Mallieka Navjot Kaur

A venture capitalist in India, investing across angel, early, and growth-stage startups. Has been part of investments including Yogabar, Pilgrim, Nathabit, Lenskart, and Zepto — as investor, board member, and advisor.

Prior to investing, built internet-first startups — including as Entrepreneur-in-Residence at BookMyShow, and before that, building the world's largest PE/VC database. Has served on the VC Council of India and actively mentors startup founders.

Farah Nathani Menzies

Has spent her career navigating moments of transformation — from early years in management consulting at Bain & Co and senior corporate roles at Godrej, to founding The Mumum Co, one of India's first healthy food companies for children. That entrepreneurial journey eventually led her to explore a question many high achievers quietly confront: "What now?"

Today, she is an advisor, facilitator, and transformational coach to founders, C-suite executives, and accomplished professionals navigating moments of change. Her work focuses on moving beyond external performance toward deeper alignment, self-awareness, and presence — with a particular emphasis on truly listening, to others and to oneself.

Brings that perspective to Mindsetters Club because she believes the foundations of how we understand ourselves, relate to others, and navigate change are built early.

Namrata Arora

Entrepreneur, education strategist, and global advisor with over two decades of experience across research, innovation, and institutional leadership. Has worked with leading universities, students, and educators around the world, bringing a global perspective on education, leadership, and the future of learning in an AI-driven world.

Club Coaches

Certified in coaching, performance psychology, education and here to coach Club members toward goal achievement and success.

Kavita Dyas

IBDP Educator · Applied Psychology

Kavita Dyas spent over thirteen years at Dhirubhai Ambani International School teaching IB Psychology, where she served as Psychology Subject Coordinator and Assistant IB Coordinator. She holds a Master's in Applied Psychology with a specialisation in Counselling from Mumbai University.

Thirteen years inside one of India's most demanding academic environments have given Kavita a rare read on what teenagers are actually carrying. At the Club she works on the skills she believes set young people up for real success — emotional awareness, confident decision-making, and the resilience to handle what school does not prepare them for.

Aara Durazi

Sports & Performance Psychologist · In partnership with Nudge Sports

Aara Durazi works in mental performance with athletes from youth to collegiate level, and with the coaches and parents around them, bringing both international and Indian experience to the field. She holds an MSc in Sport and Exercise Psychology from Ithaca College, New York, and before that competed at state and national level in basketball and athletics.

Having competed before she studied the psychology behind it, Aara has been on both sides of the pressure she now coaches. She knows the difference between carrying a team and standing alone — and she teaches members to focus, prepare and hold their nerve wherever the stakes are highest: a match, an exam hall, a stage.

Tanisha Jain

Sports & Performance Psychologist · In partnership with Nudge Sports

Tanisha Jain is a Sport and Exercise Psychologist whose applied practice spans structured mental skills training, athletic counselling and competitive readiness, built for high-performance environments where preparation decides outcomes. She holds an M.Sc. in Sport and Exercise Psychology from the Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, Chennai.

What Tanisha brings our members is method. She treats focus, composure and competitive readiness as skills that can be trained deliberately, in structured sessions, the same way a coach builds a physical one — an approach that gives teenagers something more useful than encouragement: a way to practise.

Sabrina Merchant

Mind Coach · Mindfulness Instructor

Sabrina Merchant is a Mind Coach specialising in teenagers. She holds certifications in Children and Teen Yoga and in Trauma-Informed Yoga from Yoga Ed, USA, trained as a Mindfulness Coach with Happitude Global, and is AYUSH Level 1 certified. Her foundation is a Yoga Teacher Training certification from The Yoga Institute, Mumbai.

Sabrina's premise is that a teenager's mind does not need silencing — it needs working with. Through mindfulness, meditation, breathwork and visualization, she gives members practical ways to handle overthinking, self-doubt, pressure and the days when focus will not come. Nothing abstract, and no instruction to think positive: tools they can reach for before an exam, or whenever they need to reset.

Dipali Ved

Parent Coach · Hand in Hand Parenting Instructor

Dipali Ved is a Certified Instructor with the Hand in Hand Parenting Organization, facilitating the internationally recognised How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk and Siblings Without Rivalry workshops for parents, schools and organisations, alongside one-on-one consultations. She is trained in CBT, REBT and Transactional Analysis.

Dipali is the coach for parents. Her work rests on a deep respect for the dignity of children and the power of compassionate communication in families — and it addresses the thing that determines whether any of this holds: what happens at home. Listening, connection and trust, so that the work a teenager does here is met with strong support at home.

Teen Advisory Board

Representing the voices & insight that matter most in ensuring this Club delivers to those it's built for.

Ada, 13

Having moved across six cities in the past ten years, I've learned to adapt quickly, build meaningful connections, and embrace change. Those experiences sparked my interest in psychology and taught me the value of resilience, empathy, and community.

I joined Mindsetters Club because I believe teenagers need more than academic success — they need a community where they feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow. Outside the classroom, I enjoy music, drama, and creative projects, and I love bringing people together to create something meaningful.

Aryana, 16

Growing up, I tried many different activities and realised there were plenty of opportunities to learn, but not always the support to make the most of them.

That's why I'm excited to be part of Mindsetters Club. When I'm not in school, you'll find me playing basketball, studying psychology, volunteering, or cooking. I believe every teenager deserves a supportive environment that helps them make the most of opportunities, and I hope to help build that community through Mindsetters Club.

Avyaan, 14

Hi! My name is Avyaan. High school is a time of uncertainty, and I've realised there's no single path for everyone. Having the right community, guidance, and environment can make all the difference.

When I'm not in school, I enjoy playing the guitar, tennis, and leading projects as President of the National Junior Honor Society. I joined Mindsetters Club because it gives teenagers a place to build meaningful relationships, learn from one another, and grow into confident global citizens.

Vihaa, 15

Hi, I'm Vihaa! I study at UWCSEA in Singapore and grew up in California, where my curiosity about the world began. I enjoy playing tennis, expressing myself through art, and travelling to explore new places. I'm passionate about global sustainability and believe our generation can create meaningful change through creativity, innovation, and action.

I joined Mindsetters Club because I believe young people thrive when they're surrounded by a community that inspires them to dream bigger, learn from one another, and make a positive impact.
