About Puja Bhandari

In the realm of leadership development and executive coaching, Puja Talesara Bhandari stands out as a beacon of inspiration, embodying the principles of Personal Leadership and transformational growth. From her humble beginnings in a non-English-speaking small town to earning top ranks in her MBA in Human Resources from ITM & Southern New Hampshire University,...

…Puja’s journey exemplifies the power of perseverance, self-mastery, and inward excellence leading to outward success.

As the first professional in her family, Puja broke barriers early, rising to leadership positions at global MNCs such as UPL and Asian Paints. Her story resonates as a living example of personal leadership in action, inspiring countless individuals and organizations worldwide.

During her tenure as a Human Resources Professional in diverse roles — including Strategic HR, HR Business Partner, Organizational Development Lead, and HR Head — Puja distinguished herself as a dynamic millennial leader, earning recognition for her ability to inspire and empower others. This passion ultimately led her to the path of executive coaching, where she found her true calling.

Mentored and endorsed by world-renowned leadership authority John Mattone (ex-coach to Steve Jobs), Puja has been named one of the Top 10 Executive Coaches under 45 worldwide. Mattone states,

“Puja’s connection, care, passion, and ability to ignite leadership growth are extraordinary. We are proud to have her as an integral member of the JMG team.”

Puja channels her vast personal and professional experience into her proprietary ‘Personal Excellence Growth Compass’, guiding individuals and organizations toward their fullest potential. Her coachees praise her mindfulness, deep connection, sharp focus on goals, and sustainable transformative coaching frameworks, often calling her a “Change Agent,” “North Star,” and “Transformation Visionary.” Her core belief: inward transformation precedes outward success.

As a global executive coach, Puja partners with leaders, entrepreneurs, medical professionals, educators, and C-Suite executives from Fortune 500 companies across the Middle East, UAE, United States, Canada, Europe, Singapore, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Africa. Her work enables clients to achieve paradigm shifts, breakthroughs, and large-scale impact within their organizations, communities, and beyond.

Beyond boardrooms, Puja’s influence extends globally. She is a Global Goodwill Ambassador, featured in leading publications such as Stories of Asia Singapore, and recognized as one of the 51 Influential Women, a Top 30 Influencer in Asia on LinkedIn, a 1001 Inspirational Woman, and a Six-Time LinkedIn Wonder Woman. She is also an approved instructor of Personal Leadership and Communication Skills by the Ministry of Education, Singapore.

In all her endeavors, Puja epitomizes the ethos of personal leadership, empowering others to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery, reinvention, and growth. She firmly believes that regardless of one’s background or circumstances, true leadership springs from character, mindset, habits, and the commitment to create a positive impact on the world — a belief reflected in the transformative success stories of her coachees.
