DHANASHREE BHATKAL
Advisor to Entrepreneurs & Families | Founder at A Money Tree | The Calm Leadership Method™ | Breathwork + Strategy for Profits, Clarity & Freedom.
I’ve been an entrepreneur since I was 24. From hospitality and BPOs to financial management and real estate — I’ve worn many hats, succeeded, failed, and learned. What’s stayed constant? My love for helping people create impact with clarity.
Over the years, I realized leadership today doesn’t only need strategies. It needs calm. It needs breath. It needs presence. That’s how The Calm Leadership Method™ was born — a way to blend breathwork and strategy so leaders thrive both professionally and personally.
My Story
Hi, I’m Dhanashree Bhatkal — Chartered Accountant, MBA, entrepreneur, author, advisor, and meditation teacher.
For over 23 years, I’ve built and led businesses in hospitality, finance, BPO, and client servicing. Along the way, I realized something powerful: success is not just about financial growth, but about finding clarity, calm, and courage to lead both business and life with balance.
That’s why I created The Calm Leadership Method™ — a unique blend of strategy and breathwork that helps leaders, entrepreneurs, and families cut through noise, align with their deeper goals, and achieve growth without burnout.
I’m also the co-founder of A Money Tree, alongside my partner Suman Makhija. Together, we’ve built a platform that empowers families and individuals to develop financial clarity and confidence, making money conversations simple and practical.
I’m the author of the book Money – What’s Left, What’s Right, where I share insights on wealth, choices, and living wisely.
This is not just my work — it’s my mission: to help people live free, full, and financially confident lives.
About 'What's Left What's Right'
MONEY ~ What’s Left What’s Right, is a Money Management Toolkit designed to be a light read, It brings about the blend of two essential components of Financial Freedom.
One Section is dedicated to the Money Mindset work which is often ignored by sceptics. The other Section serves as a detailed step by step guide in planning your financial freedom thresholds, and understanding various ways to get there.
The book leaves the reader with Strategic tools and skills to use in life in the years to come. It runs on the belief that balance is the most important factor when we make long haul goals.
The book can serve as a guide for individuals looking at transforming their financial realities to create a new financial position for themselves. Those that are willing to go the extra mile to do whatever it takes, to get closer to their Dream life.
The follow-on activities include a long-term hand holding plan for readers, in the form of personal tools, free resources, AMA sessions and Webinars. Moving to advanced focused Workshops and Mastermind Retreats.
