About Purnima
Having spent roughly a decade across Amazon NY, Goldman Sachs HQ in NY, and JPMorgan (India/Global), alongside holding a M.S. in Computer Science from NYU's prestigious Courant Institute, I bring direct, stress-tested, reality-based experience in high-stakes communications across global hubs (NY, London, SF, Singapore, Mumbai).
I've frequently had to summarize crisis business situations, crucial business programs at these companies to org-level leadership, handle delicate escalations, draft business propositions, and communicate key program executive updates, requiring crisp, accurate Business English, sharp personal communication technique, and immense self-confidence.
I combine this elite educational and corporate exposure I developed in the dynamically-ambitious city of New York, with a grounded, empathetic coaching style born from my own personal growth. Whether you need to brief executive leadership, clear a high-pressure job interview loop, navigate a difficult visa appointment, or present to international, cross-cultural teams, our sessions focus on real-world delivery and building your executive presence & personal confidence.

Recommendations

Purnima has a fascinating knack for conversation and to hold one comfortably for hours. She has a superb clarity of thought, a great depth and understanding of emotions and can help even the most reticent of individuals open and speak up. Her understanding and advice is very structured and she can help assess multiple avenues and guide people well to handle challenges or change in general. She can be a wonderful mentor and coach in my opinion.
Purnima was a key lead on our cross-functional T+1 settlement rollout at JPMorgan, often partnering with the program's senior leadership (MDs & EDs) cross-culturally. Working with her closely from the PMO side, I consistently relied on her ability to break down complex program updates and eke out business impact from available data into crisp, executive-ready updates for our senior leadership, via daily status emails and monthly global meetings.
Her clear, relaxed communication, strategic thinking, and composure under pressure made aligning her workstream and key global stakeholders effortless. She is a top-tier communicator with relevant experience at companies that demand quality every single day, and a fantastic mentor for anyone looking to master business or personal language fluency. 100% recommend.
Regards,
Jay.Ms. Purnima is an excellent counselor who understood my interests and guided me with amazing clarity. Her inspiring words helped me to achieve my goals in a realistic manner.
Purnima helped me prepare for my US student visa interview at very short notice. I received a rejection for my F1 visa at my first attempt.. so my parents and I were very anxious before my second try.. since I needed the visa urgently to travel and join the course the next week. Everything else before joining was already taken care of so this pending interview was a big source of stress as it could break those plans if it went badly again. Purnima helped me prepare for the visa officer interview... gave me helpful tips on how to explain my previous rejection and communicate my points confidently, especially since I am shy and reserved. Most of all, she reassured me in time by giving me the right mindset and approach!! I got my F1 visa approved that day and joined my university the following week. It was such a stressful period of my life, but now i am about to graduate soon!! Thanks Purnima for all the help
Purnima is very natural at business communication and interview preparation!
She helped me navigate difficult hiring manager rounds and offer conversations for US-based roles, coaching me on precisely what to articulate and communication approach, how much to reveal and how to project confidence. All this mixed with her spontaneous humour xD
Her guidance turned an intimidating process into a clear, actionable sequence.
Would recommend to students and working professionals in need of sharp English skills.View more recommendations
