Roots & Wings
Honouring the ones who seeded the movement.
Celebrating the ones who gave us flight.
Post 13 | Narasimhan V
Have you ever gone in for a 30-minute coffee…
and walked out three hours later – Transformed?
That’s exactly what happened the first time I met Narsi in Chennai in 2018.
What began as a simple catch-up
turned into a deep, expansive conversation –
about life, values, beliefs, leadership, facilitation, coaching… and everything in between.
And somewhere in those three hours,
without any announcement,
a quiet shift happened.
I didn’t just meet a seasoned professional –
I experienced the “𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧”.
Narasimhan brings with him a rare combination of depth, structure, and sharp thinking.
Founder of Iterum. PCC Coach (International Coaching Federation). Endorsed Facilitator (International Association of Facilitators (IAF)).
Former Global Board Member and Chair- International Association of Facilitators (IAF) – India Chapter.
A leader who has shaped learning and leadership ecosystems at scale.
And yet – when you sit across him,
none of the titles matter.
What matters is how he listens…
how he pauses…
and how he asks.
His questions don’t rush you –
they refine you.
My Profound Learning from Narsi:
“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠.”
From Narsi, I’ve learned that skillful conversations are not accidental –
they are crafted with intent.
They require:
🔹 Deep listening without interruption
🔹 Questions that expand, not constrain
🔹 Pauses that allow insight to surface
That first meeting in Chennai was not just a conversation.
It was a masterclass in how conversations can shift direction, perspective, and possibility.
And ever since, he has continued to back me, enable me, and empower me –
not by telling me what to do,
but by helping me see more clearly through dialogue.
Narsi Sir – a big thank you for the roots you helped me anchor into –
and the wings you gave me through conversations that matter.
I carry deep respect for the way you show up – measured, thoughtful, and impactful.
Keep inspiring us all.
