"My first session with Mahesh Sir at IIM Shillong took me back to the roots of introspection, those things/strengths in your mind you forgot they exist. Sometimes you struggle to get inspiration and you get so desperately trying to find the next big idea that you forgot how simple it is. Mahesh Sir's sessions helped to remind me how easy is to reboot your imagination and that the world around you is an infinite source of ideas and inspiration to relax, clear your mind and create. I loved all the exercises and re-discoveries I made in myself. A great transformational experience that helped me in my future journey."

Mahesh Sir's sessions taught us that our brains can take us places we never thought possible. That’s where new ideas live. I would definitely recommend such sessions to everyone. No, really – everyone. It was during my post-graduation at IIM Shillong. Pan- Indian and professional diversity in the class heightened the amount of creativity I was unlocking. Hearing everyone’s stories was a reminder to me that I can do anything. And once a person thinks that the chains restricting creativity and imagination are broken. When I was going to attend the session, I ignorantly assumed it would be a college-style lecture class with mostly people from the engineering world. But, I was wrong; It was 33 people from 16 states. To my right was an infrastructure expert from Delhi and to my left was an entrepreneur from Coimbatore. Everyone's experiences helped me a lot to learn from their mistakes and made me a better human being. During the workshops, we introspected through playing, studying, and discussions and experienced our inner strengths that were unnoticed.

Stranger to Myself as part of the IIM Shillong behavioural sciences lab not only provoked me to introspect and reflect but also enabled me to take the skills forward for my personal growth and development. I feel humbled by the efforts Dr Deshmukh and the team put in for the smooth facilitation and design of creative activities which helped during the exercises. I am confident that the learnings from this session changed the way I look at myself and my circle around. Thank you once again and looking forward to attending more such sessions under your guidance.
