Finding the Right Kind of Disruption
In an era dominated by digital transformation, buzzwords often outpace real impact. But Ashwinee Kalkura is not here for the buzz—he’s here for the breakthroughs. As the founder of Vishruta Consulting, a firm dedicated to Agile consulting, professional coaching, and tech-enabled solutions, Ashwinee has positioned himself at the intersection of technical expertise and human transformation. His mission? To help organizations not just survive change—but thrive in it.
“I’m a strong believer in business agility,” Ashwinee shares. “I help organizations navigate through digital disruption using the principles and practices of Lean, Agile, and Systems Thinking.”
With a background that spans industries like retail, mobile, banking, and industrial automation, and over 5,000 professionals trained, Ashwinee brings a rare blend of deep industry knowledge and human-centered coaching. But Vishruta Consulting wasn’t born from a sudden lightbulb moment. Instead, it was the culmination of thoughtful conversations and a persistent pull toward greater ownership.
“There wasn’t one moment,” he explains. “Multiple discussions with my mentors made me feel I needed to take charge of my own path.”
The Gap in the Game
Ashwinee’s leap into entrepreneurship stemmed from a clear market gap he kept running into: a lack of credible consultants who not only understood Agile on paper, but could actually translate it into meaningful, lasting change within organizations.
“Digital transformation and Agile ways of working require more than frameworks,” he says. “They demand the right expertise—people who can balance process with empathy and guide teams through real change.”
With that insight, Vishruta Consulting Pvt. Ltd. was born. The firm now operates with a clear trifecta of services:
- Agile Consulting & Training: Leveraging frameworks like SAFe®, Scrum, and Kanban to boost adaptability.
- Professional Coaching: Led by ICF-PCC certified coaches (including Ashwinee himself), focusing on leadership and personal development.
- Software Development: Delivering tailored tech solutions for organizations seeking seamless digital integration.
What sets the firm apart isn’t just its breadth of services, but its end-to-end approach—working shoulder-to-shoulder with organizations from initial strategy to implementation and team enablement.
Building a Name in a Noisy Space
Of course, credibility isn’t built overnight. One of Ashwinee’s biggest challenges was breaking through the noise of a saturated market, where anyone with a certificate could claim to be a transformation expert.
“I believe slow and steady is the only way,” he says. “I’ve focused on building a name over the years by continuously learning, getting certified, and being part of the community.”
His credentials are as robust as his reputation: a Professional Coach (ICF-PCC), an MBA in Consultancy Management from BITS Pilani, and numerous Agile certifications. But beyond the resume, it’s his attitude toward evolution that’s defined his trajectory.
“Being open to learning and reinventing myself every couple of years has been key,” he adds. “There’s no breakthrough moment—just a constant willingness to grow.”
Scaling with Purpose: Introducing a New Initiative
True to his iterative mindset, Ashwinee isn’t resting on past wins. He’s recently launched a new initiative under the Vishruta umbrella: a Collaborative Space for Startups.
“Startups should focus on innovation, not paperwork,” he says. “We provide operational peace—handling bookkeeping, audits, and processes—while connecting them with potential funding sources.”
This new venture blends the firm’s technical backbone with its coaching philosophy, aiming to support founders holistically as they scale their dreams.
Looking Ahead: Vision 2030
So, where does Ashwinee see Vishruta in five years?
“Scaling up what we’ve already built,” he says without hesitation. The plan is to expand the impact of existing services—deepening client relationships, growing the Collaborative Space initiative, and continuing to mentor the next generation of agile professionals.
It’s a vision rooted in sustainability, not speed. And it reflects the same thoughtful approach that’s shaped his journey from engineer to entrepreneur.
Words of Wisdom for Aspiring Founders
For those thinking about taking the leap into entrepreneurship, Ashwinee has some grounded advice:
“Don’t chase trends—build credibility. Stay curious. Learn constantly. Reinvent yourself. And most importantly, focus on people as much as process.”
