What they say

A stranger's enthusiasm is worth nothing.

A named professional's assessment, inside their own field, is worth a great deal. So every person here is named, and what they do is stated before what they said — because the standing is the evidence and the words are only the report. Several of them already held the certificate this academy issues. One holds the same government registration. One is a result rather than a testimonial, and is labelled as one.

Trained evaluator of evidence

Sonika Gupta

Advocate, Punjab and Haryana High Court — eighteen years in practice · Chairwoman, CII Indian Women Network, Tricity · Member, Internal Complaints Committees in defence organisations · Principal Owner, The Soul Seat, Chandigarh

Eighteen years of trial practice is eighteen years of deciding what counts as proof. She had also, before she arrived, bought most of the alternative market — and on camera she lists what she tried, by name, then says she cannot recall them all.

That list runs here only in her own words. It is her account of her own life, and she is entitled to give it; the same sentence written by this academy would be a competitive attack on other practitioners, and would read as one.

Nothing worked out. It gave me a very nice kick — I really felt so wonderful when I did all these courses — but after a few days I'm back to square one. I was always back to square one, because I felt something was missing in me.

He acts like a mirror. He clears all that dust that is on the mirror — and that dust is in your mind.

If I get a second chance to rewind my life again, I would leave all the courses and opt for one single session with Dr. Maruti Sharma. It actually worked for me. That's it. That's all I can say.

Thirty-eight years in the room

Jens Edgren

Author, The New MEDDICC · Solution Selling® · Stockholm · Eight books · Trainer of sales teams at Oracle, Microsoft and IBM · Somatic Experiencing practitioner

Thirty-eight years of professional selling and eight books on it. He says he knows when a person is skilled and when they are not — which is a specific claim from a specific kind of professional, and the only kind of endorsement worth having from someone in his position.

He also says a few days of training changed his life. Note the length: a few days is the exact length of the programme on this site.

Very seldom do you get to meet a person like Dr. Maruti — a master in many arts. I have been in selling for more than 38 years, and I know when a person is skilled or not.

Documented by a national newspaper

Pallavi Gupta

Co-Founder and Business Head, R3 Naturals Pvt Ltd · Nilaya Spa & Salon · R3 Spa · NAHA Certified Clinical Aromatherapist · Licensed Infant Massage Coach · South Delhi

She came for communication coaching before her MBA and sales training before her first job. She credits that coaching with the promotions and the pay that followed.

On 31 July 2011 the Sunday Times of India profiled her in a Special Report on rising incomes among urban Indian women: regional sales head at a job portal, twenty-nine years old, earning ₹1 lakh a month, with her salary up more than 200% across six years.

The newspaper documented the career. It did not mention Dr. Sharma. She is the one who names him, and she did so years afterwards — which removes any suggestion of coordination. The distinction is stated here rather than blurred, because an implication a reader draws for themselves is worth more than a claim we make.

Fifteen years on she has co-founded and runs the company. Regional sales head at twenty-nine; founder at forty-four.

In over two decades of our association, Dr Maruti Sharma has been an exceptional help and a mentor in every aspect of my life, be it personal or professional. He motivates you, listens to you and carves out the best in you. I still remember approaching him for PD and communication sessions before my MBA, and sales training before my first job. Needless to say, because of his coaching I became an exceptional performer — that helped me in fast-track promotions and, of course, a very lucrative payout. Now, when I run my own business, he is my go-to person for any advice.

Dr. Meera Iyer with Dr. Maruti Sharma

Holds the same statutory registration

Dr. Meera Iyer

Founder Director, Inspired Living (Mind and Health Inspiration) · RCI-licensed Psychologist · NGH Certified Hypnotherapist · Adjunct Faculty, SNHU and St Leo's University

A clinical psychologist of more than fifteen years, holding the same Rehabilitation Council of India registration Dr. Sharma holds — and she certified as a hypnotist under him.

What she describes is the teaching itself rather than the feeling of it: day after day of discussion, repeated sessions, a great many live demonstrations, and instruction she calls extremely clear on suggestibility and the structure of a session. She says she had long looked up to him, sought him out deliberately, knew she wanted to be trained by him, and that there was no compromise there.

I had an excellent experience — day in and day out of discussions, multiple sessions, him giving a lot of demonstrations and extremely clear instructions on the process of a hypnosis session: what suggestibility is, what the possible suggestions are. He went thorough into every bit of it. I searched him up and I knew that I wanted to get trained by him — and there was no compromise there. Without a doubt, I feel more confident about being a good hypnotist and utilising that in my practice.

Already held the certificate

Dr. Michelle Wei

Rockville Hypnosis, LLC · MD and gene scientist, Washington D.C. · Certified Instructor, National Guild of Hypnotists · NLP Master Practitioner

Read the credentials and ask what she could possibly need. She already holds NLP Master Practitioner certification. She is an NGH Certified Instructor — the same instructor-level authority Dr. Sharma holds, licensed to train and certify hypnotists herself. She is a medical doctor leading a team of gene scientists in Washington D.C., and she runs her own certification practice.

She enrolled anyway. Her published writing asks how hypnosis influences gene expression. She came for the depth behind the technique, not the paper.

His intelligence, curiosity, and dedication to lifelong learning are matched by his humility. What stands out most is his unwavering moral and ethical compass. He leads by example, maintaining a balanced lifestyle that nurtures his physical, mental, and spiritual health. He is a role model not only to his clients but to his peers — embodying integrity, compassion, and a profound sense of responsibility in all his interactions. In every sense, he is a remarkable Transformation Coach!

7 years as his mentee

Dr. Akanksha Mangotra

Medical Doctor, Artemis Corporate Clinic, DLF Camellias, Gurugram · Researcher and artist, working on data-driven, technology and AI-based medical intervention · Host, Mind Medicine — Connections & Conversations for Better Health

A practising physician at a corporate clinic — someone with a medical education and a professional stake in what actually changes human behaviour — has spent seven years learning from him, on her own written record, and continues to train with him now.

For a prospective student wondering whether this is serious, a doctor's seven-year commitment answers the question faster than any credential on this site.

Already held the certificate

Sandra Y.

Licensed Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming · Certified Business Coach · Tourism and hospitality · English and Spanish

She already holds Master Practitioner — the senior grade, one level above the certification taught here. There is nothing on a certificate she needed.

Which makes her presence the same argument Dr. Michelle Wei makes from Washington: people who have already completed NLP training elsewhere, and who could reasonably consider themselves finished, keep turning up. Two of the nine people on this page were in that position.

I’m a very difficult person to actually relax, and stop thinking about everything that is around: problems, work, business. But somehow, Dr. Maruti has the way to make you feel relaxed — like nothing else. I was able to be present, and fulfil the goal I told him I had.

Government school, village, national title

Arun Sharma

Winner, MTV Roadies Real Heroes, 2019 · From a village in Jammu & Kashmir

Schooled at a small government school in his village. A friend of his brother suggested a course, and he joined LEAP, the Life Transformation Programme of the University of Life. In his own filmed words, the work done there changed his language, his communication, and what he understood himself to want.

Years later he entered MTV Roadies Real Heroes as a wild-card contestant, having failed to win direct entry, and won the season. He now runs his own business.

Why this is here rather than in the results section. Read it beside the founder's own story and the symmetry is exact. A boy from a small place near the Line of Control, educated in ordinary schools, who used these patterns to reach a room in Switzerland. And a boy from a village in the same state, educated at a government school, using the same patterns to build a business. The method that carried one out is carrying other people out.

He used to tell me: you can do this, you can do that, you have so much potential, you’re unlimited. And I never used to believe it. Today, after all this, I think I understand those words now.

On what a teacher should hand back

Shaleen Singh

COO, Ecologitex GmbH · Zürich, Switzerland

An executive assessing a trainer, and the sentence he chose to end on is the one that matters most to anyone weighing up a programme like this.

He pointed me to what matters, then placed the responsibility back in my hands. That is rare leadership.

Shaleen Singh

His account runs longer than this, and the rest of it sits on marutisharma.com where it belongs. What runs here is the part about what he was left holding — because the question a careful person asks before enrolling anywhere is whether they are about to acquire a teacher they cannot leave.

The answer, in his words, is that he was handed back the responsibility for walking it himself.

Fourteen years of measuring behaviour

Polina Maw

Founder, Go Beyond Genetics · Data Scientist — fourteen years, most recently Lead Data Scientist, Boston · Licensed Provisional Trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming™, The Society of Neuro-Linguistic Programming™, 2026 · Master Practitioner of NLP® for Business · Design Human Engineering™

Data science is the profession of distrusting anecdotes — fourteen years of refusing to believe a story until the numbers hold it up. She holds trainer-level licensure in this exact discipline, with credential IDs on her public profile. And she gave an anecdote anyway, on camera, under her own name.

There is one very rare attribute that Dr. Maruti has. On the days and the moments when I felt low, he was there — he was cheering, and he was really investing himself, his whole self. He will invest his whole soul to make sure that you feel good, better, or absolutely ecstatic.

Ten seconds

Rati Bawa

CEO, The Purple People · Advertising — creative, several years in the industry

A creative director’s trade is watching how people are moved. Her account of the first meeting is specific to the second — and her description of the teaching that followed is the most precise on this page of how learning under him actually feels.

The first moment that I met him, it took him precisely ten seconds to split wide open my misconceptions about my state of being. He has taught me in a way which is not like formal teaching — it is an imbibing process, more like osmosis. You look back after every three, four months and realise just how far you have come. He helped me declutter my life, simplify my understanding, my behaviour, my thoughts — to a point where I understand the actual meaning of happiness, and where it comes from. And most importantly, he taught me the real meaning of love, that very few people even realise.

Twenty-one hotels

Ashwni Kumar Goela

Vice President — Operations, Radisson Blu Plaza Delhi Airport · Area General Manager — Radisson Hotel Group, South Asia · oversees 21 hotels across Delhi NCR

Most of this page is individuals. This is the other room the work runs in — and the man on the record runs the first Radisson property India ever had, and twenty more across the capital region. His daily business is judging the delivery of structured experiences at scale. So when he calls a strategy engagement the finest his team has had, and names the reason — the pre-work done for each individual person — that is a professional measurement, not applause.

A big, big thank you. This is probably one of the finest strategic meets that we have had — and I am not saying it because you are here; I actually mean it: from the pre-work you have gone into for each one of us, to the structured workshop that you have run.

Ashwni Kumar Goela, on camera — recorded at the close of a corporate strategy workshop

How this page is run

Rules we hold ourselves to.

Everyone here is named and their standing is stated, so that you can weigh the source rather than the adjective. Nobody's words are paraphrased into this academy's voice; where a person's account is quoted, it is quoted.

Where a relationship exists that would change how you read a statement — a spouse, a colleague, a family connection — it is disclosed on the page rather than left for you to discover. Where a newspaper documented something independently, we say plainly what the newspaper did and did not say.

Figures quoted by any witness are their own words about their own life. This academy does not restate them as claims about what training produces, because no trainer can guarantee an outcome and anyone who implies otherwise is selling something else.

Twelve people, and not one of them needed a certificate.

Two already held the credential taught here. One holds the same government registration. One holds the same instructor standing in the same hypnosis organisation, on another continent. They came for something the paper does not carry.
