In a world that’s constantly changing, staying grounded and connected to one’s true self can often feel like a challenge. For Minal Dalal, founder of Adhyaant – Living Human Essence, this challenge became the driving force behind her transformative startup. At 55, after spending over three decades as a homemaker, Minal took a courageous step into the professional world, founding Adhyaant with a singular mission: to help people rediscover their potential and live purpose-driven lives.
For Minal, Adhyaant is not just a business; it’s a platform to bring ancient wisdom into the modern world. “If one human can, all humans can,” she says, emphasizing that each individual holds the power to contribute something extraordinary to the world around them. It’s a message that has resonated with countless individuals seeking clarity, purpose, and transformation.
The Spark Behind Adhyaant
Minal’s journey to founding Adhyaant wasn’t a sudden leap but rather the culmination of a lifelong passion for helping others. Her story truly begins over 30 years ago, when she encountered an ancient scripture that spoke to her in ways no modern self-help book had. Despite being written over 8,000 years ago, the teachings in the scripture addressed the core challenges of human life with a clarity that seemed to transcend time. This inspired Minal to explore the art and science of life itself and laid the foundation for Adhyaant.
Minal shares, “This inquiry became a journey woven into my very breath, and it eventually crystallised into the vision for Adhyaant.” The idea was simple: help individuals find alignment with their true selves and live in a way that is fulfilling, purposeful, and impactful.
The Heart of Adhyaant’s Mission
When Adhyaant was born, it wasn’t just about offering life coaching or motivational speeches. The startup’s mission was clear from the start: to help people navigate the complexities of life with clarity, purpose, and wisdom. By blending ancient teachings with modern, actionable strategies, Adhyaant has become a beacon for individuals seeking deeper meaning in their lives.
The services provided by Adhyaant are designed to meet people where they are. Their offerings include:

These services stand out because of the depth and authenticity of the approach. As Minal puts it, “We don’t offer surface-level solutions. We create transformations that are profound and lasting.”
Overcoming Challenges and Embracing Growth
Like any founder, Minal faced her own set of challenges in building Adhyaant. Coming from a vernacular education background and having spent much of her life as a homemaker, Minal initially struggled with self-doubt. “I lacked professional and corporate experience,” she admits. “I often questioned whether I was capable of translating my vision into reality.”
But Minal’s journey took a turn when her daughter, Daivanshi, joined her as a co-founder. At just 22, Daivanshi brought her expertise in positive psychology and unwavering belief in their mission. Together, they created a strong foundation for the business. “Her belief in my vision helped me see beyond my doubts,” Minal shares.
Adhyaant’s greatest breakthrough came when Minal clarified the core of their mission: to help individuals make core shifts, transforming their perspectives and behaviors rather than offering temporary solutions. This clarity set Adhyaant apart and gave the startup its unique identity in the crowded personal development space.
Creating a Transformative Company Culture
The culture at Adhyaant is one of trust, collaboration, and continuous growth. The startup’s approach is unbound by conventional office walls; the team works in an environment that fosters connection and innovation. Minal describes it as a “living, breathing space for growth and collaboration.”
This open, inclusive approach is a direct reflection of Adhyaant’s guiding belief: that creativity for the welfare of all is the essence of humanity. It’s this philosophy that permeates every interaction, workshop, and mentorship session at Adhyaant.
Looking Toward the Future: Scaling Transformation
Minal envisions Adhyaant as more than just a business—it’s a movement. Over the next five years, the goal is to expand Adhyaant’s impact, not only on individuals but on communities, organizations, and educational systems. “We aim to revolutionize the educational system by integrating life as a curriculum,” Minal explains. “Imagine a world where education nurtures not just academic excellence but also responsible, creative, and compassionate individuals.”
Adhyaant plans to expand its reach through partnerships with schools, corporates, and communities, ensuring that its transformative workshops and mentorship programs touch as many lives as possible. Minal’s ultimate vision is for Adhyaant to create a ripple effect of transformation that impacts society as a whole, empowering individuals to contribute meaningfully to the world.
Words of Wisdom for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
For those just starting out, Minal has a simple yet powerful piece of advice: “Focus on creating impact rather than merely chasing success. Envision how your work can contribute to humanity, and prioritize that over transactional goals. When you align your purpose with a larger contribution, success becomes a natural byproduct.”
She also emphasizes the importance of self-growth, advising aspiring entrepreneurs to invest time in learning and reflection before diving into their ventures. “Entrepreneurship isn’t just about building a business; it’s about building yourself along the way.”
Conclusion: A Journey of Transformation
Adhyaant’s story is one of courage, self-discovery, and an unwavering belief in the power of human potential. What started as a personal quest for meaning has transformed into a global mission to help others live with clarity, purpose, and fulfillment. Minal’s journey serves as an inspiration to all those who believe that it’s never too late to reinvent oneself and make a positive impact on the world.
