Coach Selvan (Murali Selvan) is a career coach who helps individual contributors and managers build a “driver mindset” to navigate career growth, overcome ambiguity, and take charge of their trajectory.

People in engineering and management roles in Big Tech, Investment Banks and broadly tech, product, design organizations especially those dealing with transition (e.g. IC to manager), role ambiguity, internal mobility, or those who want to clarify their career path.

1. One-on-one (1:1) coaching (weekly, 30-minute sessions)

2. Full-day workshops (≈ 3 hours, for deeper challenges like role/team change, pivotal decisions)

3. Group workshops (coming soon) – learning with peers, role‐plays, practicing real-world cases.

The Discovery Session is a chance for you and Coach Selvan to meet, talk through your current role, challenges, and see whether coaching with him is a good fit. Yes, it is offered free.

One-on-one coaching is typically done weekly for a quarter (≈ 3 months), so you can address recurring challenges and build momentum.

Full-day workshops are conducted in person, though virtual options may be available when needed. Group workshops will also be virtual or in-person as arranged.

You can request a Discovery Session via the Contact page, or email at coachselvan@gmail.com.

Some examples:

Career transitions (e.g. moving from individual contributor to manager)

Ambiguity in job roles or organizational dynamics

Internal mobility, changing teams or roles within the same company

Difficult relationships with manager or navigating toxic dynamics

Strategic planning / defining what success looks like for you in your current role or next role. (Goal setting, mindset work, overcoming mental blocks)

Outcomes vary but often include greater clarity about career direction, increased confidence in decision-making, growth in leadership/management skills, better navigation of organizational complexity. Clients report unlocking potential, clearer thinking about promotion, internal transitions etc.

Because coaching involves mindset shifts and behavior changes, you may begin noticing small changes quite soon (within a few weeks), but deeper impact often emerges over several sessions, especially when you commit to regular coaching. (3-month commitment tends to produce more sustainable change.)

Pricing isn’t explicitly listed on the site. For specifics, it’s best to reach out via Contact / Discovery Session to get detailed information.

Coach Selvan emphasizes a people-first approach, listening deeply, and creating a safe space for talks. All coaching conversations are kept private. (If you have specific concerns about privacy, these can be addressed before or during the Discovery Session.)

Several factors:

1. Many years of experience in engineering leadership (intern → CTO) across varied environments, both east & west coast.

2. Blend of practical engineering & leadership experience + mindset coaching.

3. People-centric, empathetic approach, focused not just on outcomes but how you show up, your mental blocks, relationships etc.

While the primary audience is engineers and managers, many of the mindset, leadership, and growth challenges are common across roles. If you’re unsure, a Discovery Session can help clarify whether the coaching will match your needs.

Reasonably so. We only request that yoou give heads up, atleast 24 hours prior to your booked session for cancellations. We understand life happens.
And we offer credits back with no questions, that you can claim indefinitely.
