Testimonials
I became a writer with Satish's guidance as an author coach and have authored three books with his guidance, which includes the CNBC TV 18 bestseller 'Million Dollar Second. His coaching has helped me become a published author.
Brigadier Sushil Bhasin, time investment strategist, keynote speaker and thought leader, Mumbai
Satish is an excellent and natural writer. He has an independent value system, a broad perspective, a creative and lateral mind, and a crisp and contemporary use of the language. All of this give him an impressively original style.
Satish is also a very capable editor. In addition to trenchantly compressing wordy copy into eminently readable pieces, he has the capacity to come up with surprising and brilliant headlines!
Suma Varughese, Executive Editor, Life Positive magazine
Satish is one of the most accomplished writers I have read. Satish brings his experience of both darkness and light to the written word, making his articles absorbing. Satish also delights and surprises, with the sheer variety of topics he writes on.
Nandini Sarkar, writer and entrepreneur, Kolkata
I had seriously not know that I could write something which would make interesting reading for others before I met Satish. His calm manner and lovely sense of humour were an added advantage, making it all so effortless. Two of my articles have been published so far (to my utter surprise and delight) and I intend to write a book very soon. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Satish.

Satish Purohit is an excellent writer with a great eye for detail and research and he does all this with a gentle touch. (Grab some of his pieces on Life Positive and you'll know why). He can write on almost anything that you can think of, but it is when he's talking about history, religion, literature and poetry that he comes alive fully.
Shaikh Ayaz, writer, journalist and film critic
Satish is a deeply read individual with a refined and nuanced take on matters of the mind, intellect, aesthetics, literature, politics and society. He is a writer par excellence. It is a delight to read prose from his masterly pen. He is also great company with his crazy wisecracks and witty one-liners.
