Siddharth Rajsekar Shifts India's Coaching Economy Focus—From Launching Businesses To Scaling Them Sustainably

Chennai-based entrepreneur and digital educator Siddharth Rajsekar has spent the last decade helping coaches and experts build businesses around their knowledge. But in recent years, he noticed a recurring pattern—one that prompted him to rethink how India’s coaching ecosystem measures success.

“Launching a business is no longer the real challenge,” Siddharth says. “The real struggle begins after the launch—when growth stalls, systems break down, and clarity disappears.”

This observation became the foundation for the Freedom Business Conclave, a closed-door, invite-only gathering Siddharth recently hosted in Chennai. Unlike traditional business conferences focused on motivation or visibility, the conclave was designed specifically for coaches who had already launched—and were now struggling to scale.

Seeing the gap others overlooked

Through his work at Internet Lifestyle Hub (ILH), Siddharth has worked closely with thousands of coaches and knowledge entrepreneurs across India. While many successfully crossed the launch phase, he noticed that very few were prepared for what came next.

Early traction often gave way to confusion—unclear systems, capacity constraints, and the pressure of doing everything alone. “People assume scaling is about more marketing,” Siddharth explains. “But most coaches don’t stall because of effort. They stall because they don’t know what should change at each stage.”

To address this, Siddharth curated the Freedom Business Conclave as a post-launch intervention, not an entry-level event.

Inside the Freedom Business Conclave

The one-day conclave brought together nearly 350 coaches from across the country—all of whom had already launched their businesses through previous ILH programmes. From over 1,000 participants who began the journey, more than 240 completed the launch phase, with close to 190 recognised on stage as “Freedom Finishers.”

Rather than keynote speeches, the conclave focused on execution, systems, and decision-making. Sessions revolved around three core areas Siddharth believes are essential after launch: entrepreneurial mindset shifts, scalable business infrastructure, and clear next-stage action plans.

Participants were also introduced to a forward-looking framework mapping nine types of coaches, nine product pathways, and nine essential skills needed to stay relevant in 2026 and beyond—reflecting the growing overlap between AI-enabled tools, human-centric leadership, and community-led business models.

Learning from peers, not pedestals

One of the most impactful elements of the conclave was Siddharth’s emphasis on peer-led learning. Through “Hall of Fame Huddles,” experienced achievers—many of whom had already built crore-level businesses—worked closely with participants still navigating early scale challenges.

“These conversations are where real clarity happens,” Siddharth says. “Not from theory, but from people who’ve made the mistakes and survived them.”

For many attendees, the conclave helped explain why consistent effort hadn’t translated into growth—and what structural changes were needed to move forward.

Beyond digital programmes: rebuilding human ecosystems

During the event, Siddharth also unveiled NalandaX, a city-based club designed for coaches and experts seeking deeper collaboration beyond online platforms.

Positioned as a modern interpretation of ancient learning hubs, NalandaX aims to foster peer learning, shared infrastructure, and local communities rooted in human connection. The first city chapters are expected to launch soon, marking Siddharth’s move toward blending digital education with physical ecosystems.

“Growth doesn’t happen in isolation,” he notes. “It happens in communities that challenge, support, and evolve together.”

Calm conviction over hustle

For Siddharth, the real outcome of the Freedom Business Conclave wasn’t excitement—it was what he calls “calm conviction.” Participants left with clarity, confidence, and realistic next steps, rather than pressure to chase constant momentum.

To ensure continuity, attendees were added to dedicated peer groups focused on accountability and consistent action, leading into ILH’s upcoming advanced programmes later this year.

As India’s coaching economy continues to expand, Siddharth Rajsekar’s work signals a subtle but important shift—from helping people enter the market to helping them build businesses that last.

And for Siddharth, that distinction makes all the difference.
