Middle Managers Are the Backbone of Your Organisation.
Most Aren't Ready.

We believe leadership effectiveness is not about learning frameworks. It is about understanding how you are perceived, how you behave under stress, and how your purpose shapes every decision you make. That is what we develop. We work with manufacturing businesses, supplier organisations, and corporate teams to build leadership capability at every level.

Organisations invest in leadership programmes — but behaviour under pressure still doesn't change. Here is why:

Managers know the theory but react emotionally when it matters most

Strategy is clear at the top — but rarely reaches the ground

High performers get promoted without being prepared for leadership complexity

Teams are busy but not aligned — performance without ownership

Leaders lose trust under pressure without understanding why

Divesh Soni

Manufacturing Consultant · Hogan Certified Coach · Trainer · Professional Speaker ·

I spent 15 years working inside retail sourcing, manufacturing, and learning & development before founding PurposeGenie. I have visited 200+ factories and watched the failed execution as Middle managers could take the Ownership and was not aligned with Purpose of the business.

As a Sourcing Expert , Hogan Certified Practitioner, NLP Coach, Six Sigma Black Belt, and Harvard Business School alumnus, I bring unique experience right from understanding people to ened to end sourcing business understanding. My approach is not theoretical — it is built on what actually changes behaviour under real workplace pressure.

I worked with leaders across India, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, the UK, France, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Turkey — in person and globally online. I am also the author of Unleash Your Purpose and Steps to Purposeful Goals, and host of the Purposeful Leadership podcast.

Why Most Leadership Programmes Miss the Point

We integrate globally respected behavioural science tools like Hogan Assessments with our proprietary ECG Framework. Most programmes tell leaders what they should do. We focus on who they actually are — and what that means for how they lead.

Leadership effectiveness is not about learning frameworks. It is about understanding how you are perceived, how you behave under stress, and how your purpose shapes every decision you make.

Experience — Leaders become more self-aware of the climate they create and how they are experienced by others

Contribution — Leaders shift from managing tasks to genuinely developing the people around them

Growth — Teams and businesses scale without sacrificing wellbeing, ethics, or purpose

Our Approach

The PurposeGenie Strategy House

A fully integrated model — every layer supports the one above it. From the foundation of behavioural science to the pinnacle of responsible, sustainable performance.

What Leaders Say

Trusted by Leaders Across India & Globally

Real outcomes from real leaders — across organisations, industries, and countries.

Having Divesh Soni conduct a workshop on 'Purposeful Leadership' for all our store managers in North India was an incredible experience. The session was fantastic, highly engaging, and deeply impactful. Divesh's core message — that leadership is not just about oneself but extends beyond to include our humanity and our planet — resonated profoundly with our managers. The workshop was meticulously tailored to meet our specific needs, providing practical and valuable guidance. We look forward to more such insightful sessions in the future.

Adhir Singh Chauhan

General Manager · Saundh India

I recently had the privilege of engaging Divesh for a corporate coaching session at Reach GRC. He provided a session completely tailored to our business, diving deep into the "purpose of being." The impact on the team was immediate — there has been a noticeable shift in our daily mindset, and we are now operating with greater clarity and fulfilment. I highly recommend Divesh to any organisation looking to motivate their workforce through a purpose-driven approach.

Deepak Shankarappa

Director & Co-Founder · Reach GRC

Grateful to have experienced Divesh Soni's transformative Purposeful Leadership session with our leadership team. In a world where purpose is often seen as abstract, Divesh brought clarity, depth, and strategic relevance. From crafting personal and team purpose statements using the ROI (Role–Offer–Impact) framework to bridging purpose with strategic goals — the session was a masterclass in authentic leadership. Thank you, Divesh, for helping us lead not just with intention — but with purpose.

Harshit Gupta

General Manager · Vodafone India

I recently attended Divesh Soni's virtual workshop on purposeful goals and defining purpose elements, focusing on role, contribution, and impact. The best part was how Divesh guided us through crafting our purpose statements. I was amazed at how easily I could develop a clear and concise purpose statement. Since the workshop, my life feels much more sorted, and I can make choices with newfound clarity and confidence. Highly recommended for anyone looking to align their life with their true purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Want to Know About PurposeGenie

From what purpose-driven leadership means, to how Hogan assessments work, to how to get started — answered directly and honestly.

What is purpose-driven leadership?
Purpose-driven leadership is leadership guided by a clear sense of personal and organisational purpose — not just goals or KPIs. At PurposeGenie, we define it as the alignment between who you are (values), how you behave under pressure, and the impact you create for your team and organisation. It is about understanding why you lead and letting that shape how you lead every day.
What is the ECG Framework?
ECG is PurposeGenie's proprietary leadership model. E — Experience is what leaders feel internally and the emotional climate they create for their teams. C — Contribution is how they actively serve their team's best performance. G — Growth is how the team and business scale sustainably without burnout. The ECG Framework is integrated with Hogan Assessments for a science-backed, purpose-led approach.
Who is Divesh Soni and what is PurposeGenie?
Divesh Soni is a Hogan-certified leadership coach, professional speaker, NLP practitioner, and founder of PurposeGenie, based in Delhi NCR, India. With 15 years across retail sourcing, manufacturing, and L&D, he has trained 500+ leaders across 20+ organisations in 13 countries. He is a Six Sigma Black Belt, Harvard Business Online alumnus, PSAI Chapter President (Delhi), and author of Unleash Your Purpose and Steps to Purposeful Goals.
What is a Hogan Assessment and why does PurposeGenie use it?
Hogan Assessments are scientifically validated personality tools used by 75%+ of Fortune 500 companies. Unlike MBTI or DiSC, Hogan is validated against real workplace performance data. PurposeGenie uses Hogan because it reveals three things most programmes miss: how leaders are perceived day-to-day (HPI), how they behave under stress (HDS), and what fundamentally drives them (MVPI). Divesh is a certified practitioner for the full Hogan suite.
Who are PurposeGenie's programmes for?
Primarily middle managers — the leadership layer most critical to performance and most overlooked in development. Also senior leaders, high-potential talent, leadership teams, and manufacturing/supplier organisations. Sectors include manufacturing, retail sourcing, supply chain, textiles, quality assurance, and L&D. We work across India, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, the UK, France, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Turkey.
What is the Supplier Leadership programme?
Designed for manufacturing and supplier organisations ready to move from reliable vendor to strategic partner. As India becomes a preferred sourcing destination, global buyers evaluate leadership behaviour — not just execution. Five tracks: Strategic Partnership, Quality Autonomy, Ethical Supply, Export Readiness, and Purpose-Driven Culture. Available as 1-day workshop, 3-day immersion, or 3-month transformation.
What is the difference between leadership training and coaching?
Leadership training is group-based — structured workshops building shared language and capability at scale. Leadership coaching is 1:1, anchored by Hogan Assessment debriefs, creating deeper and faster behavioural change. For maximum impact, we recommend combining both — training for culture and shared frameworks, coaching for individual transformation.
