“Why do you do the things that you do?”

I’m Bazil Muzaffar Kotriwala — a personal coach, mentor, educator, and thinker.

My journey began in the world of data science, problem-solving, and global academia, but for over the past 8 years, I have been walking alongside people as they navigate life’s complexities.

I've coached them on everything that matters: discovering who they truly are, productivity systems that actually work, marriages that thrive instead of survive, health optimisation beyond quick fixes, spiritual growth grounded in truth, finding meaning in a world of infinite choices and developing focus in an era of information overload.

After years of such experience, I am now publicly available to personally help individuals make their vision of life a reality.

Having lived in 5 different countries across Europe and Asia (Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Malaysia, and Pakistan) — I developed a cross-cultural perspective and understand how context shapes challenges and opportunities. It taught me that wisdom transcends borders and that every culture holds pieces of the transformation puzzle.

Meet Bazil

I believe coaching is not about quick fixes — it’s about cultivating a purpose, identity, clarity and resilience.

I've learned that transformation isn't random — it's systematic.

I don't offer generic advice. I offer frameworks forged from real-world experience, tested across cultures, and refined through thousands of hours of one-on-one coaching. 

I lead people to:

  • Find alignment in their purpose, identity and outcomes.

  • Resolve root causes instead of treating only the symptoms.

  • Strengthen their physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

  • Unlock productivity without burning out.

  • Build better relationships.
