Anuradha Gupta
Founder & CEO, Vows for Eternity
Anuradha Gupta is Founder CEO of Vows for Eternity, a global matchmaking service that she started 10 years ago. After graduating with majors in Psychology and Economics, she did her MBA from Melbourne Business School. Her career has led her across the world in a variety of leadership roles including being a key person in the strategy team at Arsenal Football Club.
Over the last 20 years, Anuradha has lived in Melbourne, London, Los Angeles, New York and New Delhi, giving her a global perspective. Her work follows her personality – an innate ability to connect with people and infuse her positive approach to living life. Anuradha’s diverse background uniquely equips her in understanding different personalities – a skill that is critical in finding the right partner.
Having spent a decade bringing people together, Anuradha has the ability to read into what makes people tick. Her conversations with members not only gives her an insight into the best suited characteristics for a perfect partner but many times leads individuals towards understanding themselves better. Understanding upbringing, value systems, ambitions and future goals are key to her process. Personal life experiences and self awareness have played an integral role in shaping Anuradha’s thought process in bringing families and individuals together. Her calm demeanor and east meets west personality have always helped bridge the gap between parents and members who may not always be on the same page when it comes to their search for the perfect partner and family member. While Vows for Eternity and matchmaking remain key to what Anuradha does professionally, she feels very strongly about wanting to make a difference and giving back to society. She is an angel investor in a few companies including The Woman’s Company, a venture that produces biodegradable sanitary products for the eco-conscious consumer who wants to leave a better planet for generations to come. She is also the Chairperson and Main Trustee of the Armaan Gauri Foundation which has impacted many lives of under-privileged children in India.
Finding a life partner can be a challenging prospect, one that may lead you to question many aspects of your own life, as you try to understand what it is you are really looking for, in a spouse. To help guide this process, our Founder Anuradha Gupta is available for one-on-one sessions that will help you delve deeper into what the process of matchmaking is all about, and decode what it means to find your ultimate, committed relationship.
Anuradha uses her finely-honed, highly intuitive people skills to personally connect with each individual, taking the time to learn about what makes you uniquely you – and offers her own valuable insights, from over a decade of being in the matchmaking business, to put this journey towards finding “The One” into perspective.

Shyamal Vallabhjee
Leadership Coach
Shyamal Vallabhjee wears many hats, including being a sports scientist, psychologist, leadership coach, performance coach, and a healer. In his early days, Shayamal was poised to play cricket for his country (South Africa), however these plans did not materalize the way he envisioned. He instead focused on an academic career in sport, graduating with a degree in Sport & Exercise Science whilst working as the strength coach with the state cricket team
In 2003, he got a break as the Technical Analyst of the Indian Cricket Team during the 2003 Cricket World Cup. Following this, while on a quest to find a more fulfilling life, he chose the life of Brahmacharya (monkhood) vis the Hare Krishna Temple in Durban. The discipline and perseverance that this lifestyle requires taught Shayamal about the power one can yield by simply controlling the mind. It was this monastic life that inspired him to blend the science of emotional intelligence with the principles of spirituality. Convinced of its results, he shifted his focus from physiology towards mental & spiritual health as means of developing that “Winning Mindset.” To date, it remains the core of his development model for athletes, entrepreneurs and organisations in search of purposeful progression.
Shayamal has since spent close to two decades working with elite athletes, celebrities, world-renowned industrialists, children, disadvantaged communities, schools & NGO’s and game changers.

Ashdin Doctor
Habit Coach
Ashdin Doctor is the founder of Awesome180, a habit coaching programme. The programme focuses on the following fundamental behaviours – sleep quality (not quantity), nutrition (not diet), movement (not exercise), de-stressing, hydration and breathing. These form the foundation of creating Awesome Lives.
Awesome180 is a labour of love born out of his insatiable thirst for knowledge and a desire to share and change lives. It is for people who feel that their life is in a rut, nothing is changing or going according to plan. We believe that until the Foundation Fundamentals are turned into a set of habits that repeat throughout the day sub-consciously, nothing can change. Habits are the cornerstone to making sure these changes stick. The initial days of setting up the habit is tough, where we hand hold you through the process with one on one coaching. Once the habit has caught on, then there is very little motivation, discipline or drive needed to sustain it. 180 days is all that it takes to master and set these habits. We spend 30 days focusing on one habit at a time. While science says it takes 21 days to set a habit, we are all human and need those buffer days! The last 30 days of the programme are spent fine tuning each set habit.
