Pallavi Bhurkay — Co-Founder

A Mind Coach and founder of Awareness To Wellness, Dr. Pallavi Bhurkay helps CXOs and boards build calm, decisive, and humane leadership cultures by operationalizing mindfulness into daily management, decision making, and transformation agendas. Her work integrates evidence based psychotherapy with pragmatic executive coaching to convert awareness into business outcomes: clearer judgments under pressure, emotionally intelligent teams, and resilient organizations that sustain performance without burnout. To scale this impact deeper into the organization, Pallavi also founded Dugout, carved out of Awareness To Wellness, to transform mid level managers into leadership ready talent through mind coaching, resilience building, and mindfulness led communication practices that translate on the job from day one. Dugout brings elite performance principles to corporate contexts, creating a consistent leadership bench that speaks the language of presence, empathy, and execution under pressure. Over 25 years, Pallavi has designed and led hundreds of workshops and interventions for senior leadership cohorts, translating complex behavioral science into simple, repeatable habits that scale across functions and geographies. Her flagship programs on reflective communication, boundaries, and mindful decision making enable leaders to move from reactivity to response, elevating culture, trust, and execution speed across the enterprise. As an author and facilitator, she bridges therapy and the C suite: psycho profiling, drawing and handwriting analysis, and mindset reframing meet boardroom realities like ambiguity, stakeholder alignment, and crisis leadership. Leaders value her for a rare combination, warmth that unlocks candor, rigor that withstands scrutiny, and practices that are immediately applicable in high stakes contexts. What Pallavi stands for: • Mindfulness as a leadership system, not a wellness perk—presence, empathy, and clarity embedded into meetings, 1:1s, and strategy reviews. • Communication as transformation—reflective listening and boundary clarity that reduce friction and amplify execution. • Measurable resilience—leaders who regulate emotion, sustain focus, and model psychological safety under pressure. Signature outcomes: • Sharper decisions with lower cognitive noise in complex, uncertain environments. • Higher trust and engagement through emotionally intelligent leadership behaviors at the top and the middle. • Sustainable performance via practical mindfulness routines woven into leadership rhythms and people processes.
