Our Founder

Anil Gadgil is a Mechanical Engineer from IIT Mumbai, a Businessman and an Entrepreneur.

Right from his younger days he was fascinated by how people think and work. And more as a hobby interest rather than a profession, studied various aspects of human behaviour and psychology. In particular the processes which allow human beings to transform themselves, to improve their relationships and how they can achieve peak performance and excellence. This has now become a passion and life’s work.

His friends, colleagues and many who came in touch with him started using him for advice and guidance on a whole range of issues arising from their lives, their relationships and their work.

It was these friends who encouraged and even demanded that he should put a formal structure on all the informal practices he had developed so that lots more people would be able to enjoy and benefit from this knowledge and practices.

The result was the founding of the “Holistic Living Centre” in 1995. The HLC’s purpose is captured very aptly in our moto “Celebrate Life”.

HLC conducts a number of programs for both individuals and organizations. Anil is the principal trainer (trains the trainers) and the creator of the programs conducted by the HLC. He continues to counsel and practice therapy.
