Amrita Ahuja is the creator of Groundwork, a practical system that helps leaders and teams escape survival mode by bringing clarity to their inbox, calendar, and to-do list, while addressing the deeper patterns that drive stress and overwhelm. Her journey with Groundwork began over 13 years ago at a startup in Silicon Valley, where the pace of innovation collided with the toll of burnout—and sparked a commitment to find a better way. Since then, she has introduced ease and flow into startups, enterprises, and mission-driven organizations across industries including technology, health and wellness, music, social justice, and the creative sector.

Through workshops and executive coaching, Amrita expands how we think about work, life, and balance, helping teams move from chaos to calm. Raised in a mixed-race family navigating the edges of poverty, she brings a deeply lived perspective to her work—one that informs, stretches, and soothes. A former equity task force lead on the Board of Directors at Vancouver Opera, Amrita was named a Top 100 Rising Star by Chatelaine and Profit Guide in their ranking of Canada’s Top Female Entrepreneurs.
