About Me
Hi, I am Siddharth
Mindfulness coach. TEDx speaker. Founder of Aware and Beyond.
I teach people how to interrupt the patterns they understand but can't stop running. My work sits at the intersection of psychological depth and non-dual wisdom. It's spiritual without being precious. Direct without being cold. And it asks something real of the people who commit to it.
HOW I GOT HERE
I spent fifteen years inside corporate Learning and Development before coaching became my full-time work.
That time taught me something most coaches don't get to learn. I watched thousands of people go through programs designed to change them. Some of them changed. Most didn't. And the ones who didn't weren't lazy or unintelligent. They understood themselves perfectly. They could explain their patterns better than the facilitators could.
The understanding wasn't the missing piece. Something else was.
Around the same time, I started a serious meditation practice. That's now twelve years deep. I began studying Advaita Vedanta and the Bhagavad Gita not as philosophy but as a working manual for the thing I was watching: how a person can know themselves and still not be free.
Six years ago I started coaching one-on-one. The first clients came from referrals. Then more. Then the work started getting talked about. TEDx happened. DisruptHR. Corporate engagements across India and Canada. The Wisdom Circle community formed around the teaching.
Aware and Beyond is where all of that lives now.
What I teach
Awareness as a practice, not a concept.
Most personal development teaches you to understand yourself better. My work starts where that ends. Once you understand the pattern, the question isn't insight. The question is what happens in the half-second between trigger and response. That half-second is where freedom lives or doesn't.
The work I do reaches the layer of identity, not behavior. We don't manage symptoms. We dissolve the survival self that's been generating them.
This is rooted in Advaita Vedanta, the Bhagavad Gita, and the broader lineage of non-dual wisdom. It's applied through frameworks shaped by years inside corporate environments where I had to make these teachings useful for people who'd never meditated before.
The philosophy is ancient. The application is practical.
Why this work
Because awareness without practice is a more articulate version of being stuck.
Because most of what gets sold as spiritual work is bypassing dressed up in language.
Because the people who come to me have already done the inner work. They've read the books, sat with the therapists, attended the retreats. They understand themselves with painful clarity. And the loop is still running.
They deserve work that actually reaches where the loop is generated. Not more frameworks. Not more insight. The actual interruption.
That's what I do.
