Our Certified Life Design Facilitators

Navyug Mohnot

Stanford-trained Life Design Educator
Certified “Designing Your Life” Educator, Facilitator, Coach
Navyug Mohnot is the CEO of QAI, a transnational process improvement consulting organisation, and the Founder & CEO of QGLUE, a design consulting, coaching, and training firm. An IIT Delhi alumnus, he went on to complete his MS in the USA. Pursuing a PhD in the US, he decided to return to India in the early stages of the IT revolution, driven by a deep commitment to contributing to the nation’s growth.
30+ years of experience have led him to a deep immersion into Stanford University’s Designing Your Life (DYL) framework. As the only Stanford- trained Designing Your Life educator and a certified DYL coach and facilitator in the world, he is on a mission to bring this impactful framework to those of all ages.
For Navyug, long before he was introduced to DYL, he was already living with a designer’s mindset, which continues to serve him today. The first to bring Designing Your Life to Indian universities, Navyug landed DYL at Ashoka University, and has gone on to and continues to teach it at other prestigious institutions like IIT and ISB. The growing movement of DYL has led him to impact individuals from India’s leading corporate organisations to empower them to design lives of intention, purpose, and possibility.
A Harvard Certified Leadership Coach, Navyug is on the board of several companies, has played leadership roles in TiE and NASSCOM. He has even done a TEDx talk on “Manifesting Desires and Embracing Contradictions”.

Dr. Manjusri Nair

Certified “Designing Your Life” Facilitator
Dr. Manjusri Nair is a surgeon with over three decades of experience, trained at Asia’s largest trauma center. She brings rare depth, clarity, and lived wisdom to her role as a Designing Your Life facilitator.
Long before she became a DYL facilitator, she was already a life design practitioner, shaping her path with intentional pivots in her career that allowed different facets of her identity to emerge and flourish. She became a mother, a volunteer-educator, a curriculum creator, a mindfulness coach, a mentor to working mothers, and a published poet and co-author. Each act of self-expression was a deliberate act of design, rooted in values, and refined through action.
At the same time, fuelled by a deep commitment to self-development, she immersed herself in continuous learning, thereby creating a toolkit for intentional living, which formed the framework for her worldview and laid the foundation for her to guide others in crafting balanced and meaningful lives.
Her DYL certification formalized what she had long lived. Today, she is one of only three certified facilitators in India of the world-renowned Stanford-created Designing Your Life program. As a surgeon, seeker, and systems thinker, she helps individuals navigate life’s transitions with clarity, creativity, and courage, bringing her essential synthesis of science, soul, and design to every space she holds.
