Warsha Joshi, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Consultant, Speaker, Mentor, Coach, Negotiator & Facilitator.

Warsha is the Co-Creator of Dare To Scale, Founder of Platinum VA and Co-Presenter of The Dare to Scale Show Podcast. She is a master coach and business mentor to hundreds of founder CEOs across the world, recently focusing on the Middle East and more specifically the Gulf region.

Warsha is driven by a relentless passion for enabling entrepreneurs to achieve their goals, especially second-generation CEOs of family-run businesses. Being a lifelong entrepreneur herself, she understands that early-stage entrepreneurship is tough and sometimes a bootcamp is just what you need to get traction and get your fly wheel turning.

Each entrepreneur is a master of their profession, but few are masters of their own business… Failure to recognise the difference is what leads many businesses to fail and many dreams to fall.

Warsha is a keen analytical and strategic thinker with a firm eye on the big picture along with the innate ability to uncompromisingly drill down into the details and help you arrive at the optimal solution. She has experienced business pitfalls and worked her way out of the weeds, into the foothills and up the mountain. With her sound business knowledge Warsha will work through any challenge with you using easy to use frameworks to be able to help you arrive at clear next steps.

Seeing the issue clearly comes second nature to Warsha and using this ability she will guide you through difficult conversations by removing emotions from a situation and sticking to the facts. Her razor sharp mind and relatable way of talking with you, along with her excellent negotiation skills will be paramount in every conversation you have. 

With her skills and expertise, Warsha beings to the table an abundance of knowledge and experience and it is her mission to help as many small businesses succeed as is humanly possible.

Here’s Our Journey So Far:

1986

Daffodils (First and Second Businesses)

Warsha takes her first step into entrepreneurship; it is a true hustle at that time. What was created is a business that stayed on for 11 years and turned out to be one of the best in the industry in the entire southern part
of India. The business was a beauty salon, both very unique and very advanced for its time. The second business, started the same year,
was a technical institute. It was a beauty training institute, again, the first
of its kind in the entire southern part of India. Both businesses were sold a few years after Warsha came to Dubai and they are both still operating
today.

2010

Platinum VA (Third Business)

Warsha starts her third business, conceived straight out of the
financial downturn of 2008. Seeing there was a gap in the market –
great talent available and not enough support for all the businesses
now starting up – Warsha launched Platinum VA, offering
outsourced virtual business support services.
2011

Business Mentoring (Fourth Business)

Warsha takes an informal step into business mentoring, helping
new entrepreneurs navigate the choppy waters that come in the
first few years of a new business. Warsha immensely enjoys ‘paying
it forward’ to new founders since without adequate guidance most
new businesses would struggle needlessly.
2015
