THE JOURNEY
From studying to working to truly learning.
From academic achievement to the boardroom
Dr Randeria’s early years were shaped by academic achievement. He qualified as a Chartered Accountant at the first attempt and began his career at Price Waterhouse. His career progressed through corporate finance and leadership roles, including Legrand and Johnson Controls, and ultimately to Chief Financial Officer. Along the way, he learnt to look beyond numbers to the decisions and relationships that shape results.
The turning point: Sharpen the Saw
A turning point came while reading Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The idea of ‘Sharpen the Saw’ prompted a question: despite having an excellent corporate job, was he still growing? He enrolled in a three-year classroom MBA at Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies while continuing to work. When it ended, he resolved that the three hours a day devoted to learning would not simply be returned to work.
From lifelong learning to teaching
That commitment became a practice of learning, unlearning and relearning. While studying at JBIMS, an invitation to deliver a lecture revealed a passion for teaching; he later returned as visiting faculty and began training colleagues at work. Witnessing corporate redundancies also challenged his assumptions about the security of senior positions. Together, these experiences led him to move into coaching and training in 2014.
A PHILOSOPHY FOR LIFE
Be a WIP till you RIP.
WIP = Work In Progress · RIP = Rest In Peace
Keep learning, unlearning and growing. Being a work in progress is a lifelong choice.

THE W3 PHILOSOPHY
Wealth. Wisdom. Wellness.
Dr Randeria’s curiosity about NLP began in 2009, when he first heard the term in a discussion about consumer behaviour. Initially, he wanted to understand how to influence people more effectively at work. The greater discovery was personal: he began recognising his own beliefs, motivations and patterns, and realised that influencing himself was where meaningful change began. That curiosity gradually developed into a broader commitment to behavioural change, complementing his financial management background and shaping the W3 philosophy.
Wealth
Financial and business choices that create possibility.
Wisdom
Thinking, communication, learning and the ability to respond with choice.
Wellness
The capacity to sustain performance and enjoy the journey.
W3 grew from the belief that Wealth, Wisdom and Wellness belong together. He approaches these dimensions not as isolated goals, but as parts of a meaningful life.
THE DIFFERENTIATOR
Two careers. One practice.
What makes this combination useful is the ability to connect commercial realities with human behaviour: helping leaders make clearer decisions, communicate with greater awareness and translate insight into practical action.
The commercial instincts did not disappear. They became the foundation for understanding how people perform, lead and grow.
