Amit has a remarkable ability to guide you through your own introspection. I went into our session questioning my ability to self-discover solutions, but his skillful questioning helped me distinguish between practical reality and the noise of overthinking.

The most impactful part was how he identified a core personal barrier I hadn't even considered, leading me to a 'lightbulb moment' through a single, powerful question. I left the session feeling relaxed, focused, and equipped with clear steps to move my professional life forward.

It was my great privilege to manage Amit for four years at Atlassian. Although he was reporting to me, I in fact learned a great deal from him about how to manage, mentor, coach and lead people and teams.

Amit is one of the most competent, empathetic and inspiring people leaders I have worked with. He has a unique ability to connect deeply with individuals, understand their challenges and motivations, and guide them to evolve. He does this without foregoing honesty and candid feedback when required. I have personally witnessed him doing this even when leading teams and individuals through very difficult projects and situations.

His combination of emotional intelligence and genuine empathy for people makes him an ideal person to coach and mentor you through your personal and professional challenges. He is a clear thinker and a great listener whose advice will speak to you and your circumstances directly.

Amit understood my problem statement almost immediately and helped bring significant clarity to my thinking through thoughtful and well-directed questions. The way he structured the conversation allowed me to reflect deeply and see my situation from a fresh perspective.

By the end of the session, I had already outlined a rough action plan to address the areas we discussed. More importantly, I felt motivated and energized to take the necessary steps — whereas before the session, I was not fully inclined to confront and work through the challenges I had been experiencing internally.

I particularly appreciated his ability to understand not just the surface-level issue, but the underlying emotions behind it. His skill in listening carefully and rephrasing my thoughts with precision made me feel heard and understood. It was clear that he has a strong grasp of both mindset and emotional dynamics.

I worked with Amit at Atlassian for over five years, and he became much more than a manager to me — he became a mentor, a sounding board, and someone who genuinely invested in my growth. He was someone I could turn to not just for work-related challenges, but also when I needed to rant or talk through a difficult situation. What I appreciate most about him is that he listens without judgment and asks the right questions to help you find your own answers, rather than simply offering solutions.

Many times, a conversation with him has helped me see things differently and approach uncomfortable situations with greater confidence. He knows when to listen, when to challenge your thinking, and how to help you prepare for difficult conversations. Looking back, his coaching has had a lasting impact on how I think, communicate, and navigate challenges. I’m truly grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from him.

I've known Amit since 2019. He was my manager, and he played a big part in my move from individual contributor to manager. He showed me that you can care deeply about your people and still hold a high bar for results, and I try to lead that way every day.

What I value most is that our relationship didn't end when we stopped working together. Even after we moved to different teams, we kept having coaching sessions. Some were about the day-to-day of work, and others were about parenting, which has mattered just as much to me. He listens first, asks thoughtful questions, and creates space for you to find your own answers.

Amit is a rare leader who is a great coach and an even better human being. I'd vouch for him any day.

I have known Amit in many capacities—as a mentor, manager, friend, coach, and sounding board. But above all, I know him as a genuinely wonderful human being.

What stands out most about Amit across all these roles is his ability to listen with empathy and genuine intent. He creates a space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself. He is someone you can turn to without the fear of being judged, knowing that he will listen thoughtfully and offer perspectives and advice grounded in his own experiences and insights.

When I learned that Amit was pursuing coaching, it came as no surprise. He has always demonstrated the qualities of a great coach, and formalizing this natural ability feels like an extension of who he already is. Coaching comes to him almost instinctively. I believe Amit would make an exceptional coach for individuals and teams alike, bringing authenticity, empathy, and a genuine desire to help others reflect, grow, and realize their potential.
