About The Founder

A Word From The Founder

"Deeds of compassion might be invisible, but they leave a trail that is imprinted on the hearts of others."

Mrs. Vijaya Nene

Founder

With 36 years of work experience and 25 years of parenting experience, I decided to venture onto a path that has been very close to my heart for quite some time. My intention is to make a positive difference in people’s lives by helping them see things better, discover new meaning and live their lives more intentionally with positivity.

My journey so far has offered beautiful opportunities to reflect, learn and grow while influencing the thinking of teams and individuals. I can proudly reflect on the transformation I could create through my work in various roles.

My last role was Head of Operations & Services with a multinational company before beginning this meaningful journey of guiding and empowering people through training, counselling and mentoring.

How it Works

PRAGYA-SETU Approach

The PRAGYA-SETU approach focuses on bringing clarity, awareness and practical learning into people’s lives so they can positively influence their families, workplaces and society while achieving personal happiness and success.

PRAGYA-SETU Key Principles

This approach explains how clarity, awareness and consistent practice can help individuals create positive impact in their personal and professional lives.

  • Single biggest responsibility that human beings have is to influence the lives of others positively – especially when we are in positions of authority like leaders and parents.
  • As human beings we continuously seek happiness and success. These are results, not accidents, and are driven by consistent acts of diligence or negligence.
  • We spend most of our time at workplace influencing each other and also play a vital role at home as parents influencing children’s personalities.
  • Often our actions are driven by emotions and beliefs instead of conscious choices, which leads to inconsistent behavior.
  • Organizations struggle to align teams and bring consistency across layers. Trainings motivate temporarily but rarely create lasting impact.
  • Positive change requires clarity of three things – what we want, why we want it, and how it helps us personally.
  • Learnings from training are often not practiced due to lack of clarity in one or more of these elements.
  • We are first someone in our families before we are someone in the workplace.
  • The modules offered by VNALE blend these concepts to develop better leaders, better parents and better individuals.
  • Practice does not make us perfect – practice makes things permanent. Practicing the right methods creates lasting positive change across homes, workplaces and society.

Prachi Satpute - Shaligram

Manager - Learning and Development at Bajaj Allianz Life

We had the pleasure of attending ‘Authentic Leadership’ session facilitated by Vijaya. It was a fabulous learning experience and we can apply many things in our day to day life. However there are four things that personally struck a chord with me and I try to practice them in day to day working life – Integrity, Consistency, Transparency and Empathy. These four pillars of leadership are the biggest driving force in building a connect with teams and driving superlative performance. Even though it was a virtual session, it was extremely informal, interactive and engaging.

Ashish Joshi

Associate Vice President at Bajaj Allianz Life

Vijaya facilitated a session on Authentic Leadership with us. She helped us understand why it is important for a leader to be authentic and the core principles including leading from heart, focusing on long terms, integrity, transparency, empathy and listening skills. She shared many real life anecdotes and pragmatic approaches which made us understand the concept really well. Overall it has been a great learning experience with Vijaya.
