She supports women working in architecture, hospitality and other majority male industries with building the confidence to take the next step in their careers, from first leadership roles through to director and executive level.

Ishwariya trained as an architect, with a BArch from Bangalore University and an MSc in Environmental Design of Buildings from Cardiff University, before changing careers to train as a pastry chef at Le Cordon Bleu London. She founded her coaching practice in 2021 and is an accredited coach with the Association for Coaching. In 2023 she was appointed a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. Alongside her own practice she has coached leaders in local government and mentors on the Master's in Entrepreneurship and Innovation programme at Lund University School of Economics and Management.

On the Architecture Social Podcast she joined Stephen Drew to discuss the confidence gap: how barriers around pay, progression, flexibility and career breaks erode confidence and push women out of architecture, and the practical steps individuals and employers can take in response.
