The CXO Incubator program, embodies Radhika’s vision of cultivating a community of purpose-driven leaders. The pilot run of this programme has already welcomed over 150 professionals who have completed the sessions and joined the community.
Tailored for high-performing mid to senior-level professionals aspiring to lead from CXO positions and boardrooms, the CXO Incubator integrates coaching methodologies, counseling tools, and Radhika’s extensive corporate expertise. The CXO Incubator transforms mid to senior-level professionals into leaders. Led by Radhika, it offers strategic skills, core values identification, and a strong personal brand.

Having embarked on her journey in the corporate world after qualifying as a Chartered Accountant and joining ICICI Bank in 2002, Radhika identified a critical gap in leadership development. Despite possessing the right qualifications and skills, not all professionals could ascend to leadership positions at the same pace. This realization ignited her quest to uncover the elusive “X factor” that differentiates extraordinary leaders from the rest. Radhika’s journey of self-discovery led her to explore various disciplines, including Hindu Vedantic studies, Western philosophies, counselling, coaching, and even physical challenges like scaling the Everest base camp. Through this eclectic mix of experiences, she found her true calling: empowering high-performing professionals to unleash their full potential and ascend to leadership roles.
