Interview by The Success Today

Could you tell us about yourself and your work?
Hi, I’m Sujatha Sangeeth-Founder and CEO of Ignite & Ascend. I’m a transformation coach, business growth strategist, digital coach, and startup mentor. My journey has been anything but linear—from being a successful Scientist in Delhi to discovering my true calling of empowering aspiring entrepreneurs.
With over 13 years of experience in startup mentorship, I now bring clarity, strategy, and a realist mindset to the table. My platform offers global exposure and hands-on support, especially for women and solopreneurs who are ready to build with confidence but don’t know where to start.
My signature “Zero to CEO” framework blends digital skills, practical strategy, and spiritual grounding—because I believe that skills, not degrees, are the true path to entrepreneurial success. I’ve made it my mission to unlock the potential of those feeling stuck and give them the tools and courage to fly.

How are you and your services helping society?
Every day, I work with aspiring coaches, solopreneurs, and women entrepreneurs to transform their skills into scalable, purpose-led businesses. I believe that when someone feels seen and supported, they rise—and when they rise, they lift others with them.My mission is to show that you don’t need a fancy degree or an elite background to succeed. You need structure, systems, clarity, and someone who’s willing to walk beside you. That’s exactly what I offer.Through my mentorship, tools, and digital training systems, I help individuals move from a place of “stuck” to self-sustained success. And I do it with honesty. I don’t sugarcoat, but I always empower. I cut through the fluff and give people what works in the real world—so they can build not just income, but true independence.

What is the USP of your work?
In one phrase: Strategy + Soul. Real talk + Real tools.
I’m not here to sell illusions—I help build real businesses with real impact.
What sets me apart is my “Zero to CEO” approach. I don’t offer generic advice. I dig deep into each client’s unique story, strengths, and goals—and then design custom systems to help them grow. Whether you’re just starting out or trying to rebuild after burnout, I create business strategies that fit your life—not complicate it.
I blend emotional intelligence, practical tools, AI integrations, and digital visibility frameworks that are actually doable, even for beginners. My work is honest, human, and driven by results. And as someone who balances motherhood, mentoring, and mission—I teach what I live.

What are your Vision and Mission?
My vision is to create a world where entrepreneurship is accessible to all—not just those from elite institutions, but to anyone with a dream, a skill, and the willingness to grow.
My mission is to guide 1 million women and aspiring entrepreneurs to turn their skills into sustainable businesses and purposeful brands.
Through Ignite & Ascend, I offer practical coaching, structured programs, and soulful mentorship that meets people where they are. Whether you’re a working mother, a burnt-out professional, or a passionate creator with zero clarity—I help you move from confusion to confidence.
If you work with me, you won’t get fluff. You’ll get structure. You’ll get truth. You’ll get a plan that actually works.

What are your achievements in this industry?
I’ve spent over 13 years mentoring startups, guiding countless entrepreneurs from the idea stage to sustainable growth. My work has been featured in national and international publications, and I’ve been interviewed in the book “Fascinating Careers in Biotechnology.”
I’m also the author of three e-books and the creator of powerful business-building programs like “The Ultimate Trainer Package,” “Skill to Trainer,” and “Niche Navigator.” These have helped coaches, educators, and service providers launch with clarity—even if they started with no prior experience.
I’ve scaled multiple brands using strategic digital marketing, Instagram SEO, personalized funnels and visibility frameworks. I’m known as a thought leader in coaching and digital empowerment—and I’ve been fortunate to be featured across platforms and panels.
But honestly? My greatest achievement is watching my clients step into their power, find their voice, and build lives they once believed were out of reach.

Does your work ever feel tedious to you? If so, how do you stay motivated?
Honestly, my work rarely feels tedious—because it’s transformational. I get to witness real shifts in people’s lives, and that fuels me.
Yes, there are tough days. Managing motherhood, coaching, and business strategy isn’t always easy. There are moments of burnout, especially when you’re wearing multiple hats. But I’ve learned to honour my energy, take breaks when needed, and come back aligned with purpose.
I stay motivated by remembering why I started. I’m not here for algorithms or likes. I’m here to support someone who’s stuck, scared, or starting over—and give them the tools to rise.
The ripple effect of empowered women and confident entrepreneurs is what drives me. When one person finds their path, they transform not just their life—but their entire environment.

What are your hobbies and specific interests other than your profession?
I’m a lifelong learner and a bit of a soulful nerd. Outside of work, I love diving into books—especially around psychology, mindset, and spiritual growth. Canva designing is a surprising hobby of mine—I enjoy creating visuals that inspire and educate.
When time allows, I relax with Netflix or Prime shows. Music, meaningful conversations, and spending time in nature with my children recharge me the most.
I’m also deeply passionate about conscious parenting. Understanding child psychology and emotional well-being isn’t just professional for me—it’s personal. And yes, I absolutely love experimenting with tech tools, automations, and streamlining systems. That’s my geeky pleasure.

You’ve achieved so much in life. Any specific advice you’d like to share with our readers to grow?
Here’s what I know for sure:
You don’t have to be extraordinary to start. You just need to start to become extraordinary.
Too many people delay their dreams waiting for the perfect plan, the right course, or someone’s approval. The reality? Action creates clarity. You’ll figure it out as you go.
Also, don’t underestimate the value of your life experiences. You don’t need a fancy degree to teach, guide, or build something meaningful. You need self-trust, the right mentor, and a system that aligns with your values.
If I could leave one message, it’s this: You are allowed to want more—and you are capable of creating it.
Don’t settle for survival. Aim for significance. And always remember—your story, no matter how messy, can become your greatest asset.
