The Silent Crisis: Why India’s Most Successful Professionals Are Redesigning Their Lives

Designing Your Life international coach Dr. Anu addresses the growing sense of emptiness among high achievers through an innovative Design Thinking approach.

In boardrooms across India, a quiet revolution is taking place. Senior managers, CXOs, and entrepreneurs who have climbed every rung of the corporate ladder are asking themselves an uncomfortable question: “Is this it?”

The irony is striking. These are individuals who meticulously design business strategies, product launches, and quarterly targets. They architect complex organizational structures and engineer market disruptions. Yet when it comes to their own lives, they’ve simply let things happen by default.

“We design everything except our lives,” observes Dr. Anu, founder of Anubinny.com and recently recognized as one of the Top International Life Coaches. “Professionals spend hours perfecting presentations but never pause to design their own happiness. That’s the biggest mistake.”

This oversight has created what Dr. Anu calls a “silent epidemic” among India’s professional class. Long work hours, promotions, and mounting responsibilities have left little room for reflection. Many find themselves trapped in careers and routines that no longer spark joy or meaning.

The symptoms are telling: successful professionals feeling empty despite external achievements, entrepreneurs running companies they no longer feel passionate about, and senior leaders battling burnout while questioning their life choices.

Dr. Anu’s solution? Apply the same Design Thinking methodology that transforms businesses to transform lives. With over a decade of coaching experience, she has been helping high-performing professionals at critical turning points understand why they feel stuck and how to build lives that feel authentically theirs.

“Most people follow career paths that were never consciously chosen,” explains Dr. Anu, who combines her doctorate in engineering with international coaching credentials and extensive corporate experience. “We help individuals move from routine to reflection, from confusion to clarity.”

Her client base reflects the breadth of this challenge: ex-servicemen transitioning to civilian careers, senior leaders dealing with burnout, business owners ready to realign with their values, and entrepreneurs seeking renewed purpose.

The approach is deeply personal yet structured. Through her signature methodology, Dr. Anu creates safe spaces for professionals to examine what truly drives their choices and where they want to go next. The focus spans career transitions, life design, and executive leadership development.

“It’s not about coaching packages or commitments,” she emphasizes. “It begins with one conversation that helps people identify where they are stuck and explore how they can move forward.”

This conversation starter comes in the form of free one-on-one discovery sessions that Dr. Anu offers to professionals ready to pause and reconsider their paths. Many participants report walking away with renewed clarity and a fresh sense of purpose.

For professionals feeling like life has slipped by or no longer feels like their own, the message is clear: a new chapter can be created. It starts with recognizing that if you’re not designing your life, you’re making the biggest mistake possible.

The first step? One conversation.
