Basesh U Gala — Co-Founder
I didn’t set out to become a business coach. In fact, I was chasing success on Wall Street, with an MBA from one of the world’s top 10 B-schools, CFA and FRM certifications, and a promising career. I lived and worked across New York, London, and Tokyo, learning the mechanics of high-stakes consulting and investment strategy. But when I returned home to Mumbai, something changed. I saw my father, one of the hardest-working people I knew, struggling to grow our family business. He lacked access to the right guidance. That was my turning point. I left behind the comfort of global boardrooms to walk alongside Indian entrepreneurs who felt stuck, overwhelmed, or invisible in the business world. That’s when I founded 39Solutions, a multi-arm business growth ecosystem with one mission: “With You, For Success.” But I’m not just a business mentor. I handhold business owners, coach SMEs, train MSMEs, and invest in companies with potential. Over the last 11 years, I’ve: - Invested in 40+ ventures - Conducted 500+ webinars - Inspired over 500,000 lives - Trained 100,000+ entrepreneurs - Handheld 12,000+ businesses across 450+ industries From turning around struggling family businesses to helping startups prepare for IPOs, I work on both strategy and soul. Every coaching program is personalized, practical, and rooted in Indian business realities. A few things I’m grateful for: - Recognized in FORBES India – Icons of Excellence - Delivered TEDx talks on leadership, failure, and growth - Honored with the Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam President Award - Featured on platforms like ET, CNN, AajTak, ABC, FoxNews, OWN I built a group with 5 arms: training (RiSE), growth (BiZMurli), investments (Kuber), wellness (Aarivayu), and impact (39S Foundation) Going ahead, my vision is clear: To train 1.08 crore entrepreneurs and mentor 108 billionaire RISEpreneurs in India. Not just to build businesses, but to build leaders. If you’re at a stage where you want clarity, growth, and confidence, And you want someone who has walked the hard path with others, I’m here. Let’s create the business (and life) you deserve. Enroll in the Business Freedom Workshop, the link is in the featured section.
