India's corporate training market has often underestimated the importance of soft skills, considering them secondary to technical expertise. Yet, training in communication, leadership, and emotional intelligence has a direct impact on culture, collaboration, and longterm business success.

Fortunately, the market is evolving. New-age organizations increasingly recognize the connection between behavior, culture, and business development. Emotionally resilient confident and effective communicators directly enhance client experiences, brand loyalty, and internal collaboration.

Swabodh Studio: Purpose Driven Training

Amid this changing environment, NCR-based Swabodh Studio People Solutions is making a tangible impact. Founded by Dr Shikhaa Siingh, an educationist, PhD (MNIT), and internationally certified corporate facilitative trainer, Swabodh is more than just a corporate training company; it is a cause-driven organization.

The name 'Swabodh', derived from Sanskrit, means 'self knowledge' or 'self-awareness', reflecting the essence of its mission. Inspired by Dr Shikhaa’s personal journey of transformation and introspection, Swabodh specializes in empowering individuals to overcome self-limiting beliefs and evolve into their highest potential.

Values That Drive Purpose & Programs That Shape People

Every intervention by Swabodh is authentic, results-driven, and designed to create measurable impact. Each program begins with a comprehensive Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and is tailored to the client’s unique challenges. Swabodh employs a facilitation-led approach rather than lecture-based delivery. Activities, metaphors, creative resources, picture cards, games, and storytelling ensure that learning is not only enjoyable but also deeply meaningful.

The training portfolio is diverse ranging from essential soft skills such as emotional intelligence, time management, and public speaking to specialized modules like POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment), gender diversity, leadership, and team communication. Swabodh also prepares young professionals for career success with employability programs covering resume writing, interview preparation, and workplace readiness. As an image consultant, Dr Siingh further conducts sessions on dress to express, personal grooming, colour and personality type analysis, wardrobe, cluster and appearance management. Audiences include corporate teams, retail personnel, PGDM students, startup founders, and aspiring professionals.

What Sets Swabodh Apart: From Impact to Innovation

Swabodh stands apart for its highly personalized, process-based methodology that drives genuine transformation. Rather than treating training as a one-time activity, Swabodh fosters long-lasting mindset shifts through reflective, experiential learning. While backend AI technology is leveraged for content development including case studies, interactive exercises, and creative queries the delivery remains deeply human, empathetic, and high-touch.

Under the leadership of Dr Shikhaa Siingh, recipient of the ‘Best POSH Trainer’ award among 550+ applicants and featured twice in the Times of India Pan-India edition (2025), Swabodh brings together a unique blend of expertise, empathy, and insight. Swabodh's success stories span across industries, from corporate giants like Microsoft, Oracle, Nestlé, ICICI Bank, Deloitte, and Sun Power to startups such as Yes Madam (a Shark Tank-featured company), FAMBO Innovations, and Endure Air.

In the education sector, Swabodh has partnered with leading institutions including MNIT Jaipur, Vivekananda Global University, IILM, Vidyagyan Schools, Sparsh Group, and SOIL. Through these collaborations, Swabodh has consistently enhanced confidence, communication, and performance, empowering professionals and students alike to thrive in today’s dynamic world.

As Swabodh embarks on a new era of rebranding and digital program development, its guiding philosophy remains unchanged: to grow with intention rather than volume, and to create meaningful learning journeys that inspire self-awareness, balance, and sustainable growth.
