First Light Feature : Gehena Thilakesh on corporate life to confident independence

First Light Feature

We catch up with our first-ever Monthly Muse creator Gehena Thilakesh on her new beginnings, finding confidence and how her life has changed.


When we first connected with her back in August 2025, Gehena Thilakesh was finding the balance between her own corporate profession and following her passion for helping others.

Today, Gehena is a successful entrepreneur and life coach with two thriving initiatives – ‘Own Your Power’ and ‘Shakti Circle’ – both dedicated to empowering people to realise their own dreams.

Confidence for me isn’t about always feeling ready or perfect. It’s about trusting that I can handle what comes next, even if I don’t have all the answers yet.” Gehena Thilakesh

From facilitating workshops and building her own personal development course ‘ The Confidence Code,’ to create a space for women leaders to connect and collaborate, Gehena’s journey from leaving her corporate life to creating space for herself has been an inspiring one.

In our conversation for ‘First Light’ we spoke to Gehena about the new chapters of her life.
