From Corporate Powerhouse to Global Changemaker
Rupinder Kaur, a name now synonymous with empowerment and transformation, once walked the structured halls of multinational corporations. With over 20 years of experience in the corporate world, she held influential roles in HR and leadership across various global companies. But beneath the surface of boardroom success lay a deeper calling—a passion to uplift, inspire, and guide South Asian women toward their own definitions of success.
Her transition from corporate executive to entrepreneur was not just a career shift—it was a courageous leap into purpose. Rupinder founded Asian Women MEAN Business (AWMB), now one of the UK’s largest and fastest-growing communities for South Asian women. Her mission? To help women reconnect with their values, discover their voice, and live a life they are proud of.
A Childhood Driven by Curiosity and Compassion
Rupinder’s inspiration didn’t arrive overnight. From a young age, she was fascinated by the human mind—how thoughts, beliefs, and motivation shape behavior. This innate curiosity led her to explore psychology, human resources, coaching, and mentoring.
She is a true autodidact, consistently learning, evolving, and applying new insights to help others. Her relentless drive and positive energy were evident early on, and every chapter of her life has reflected her unwavering belief in the power of personal growth. What started as a childhood fascination is now the foundation of a movement that continues to change lives globally.
Building a Global Sisterhood
The birth of AWMB marked a turning point—not only in Rupinder’s career but in the lives of thousands of women. AWMB isn’t just a social platform or networking group. It is a transformative space where women find belonging, mentorship, and empowerment.
From feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and burnt out, members of the AWMB community move towards clarity, connection, and confidence. The community is built on values that matter: authenticity, integrity, compassion, and purpose. Women are encouraged to pursue dreams that reflect their truth, rather than expectations imposed by society or culture.
Through a mix of powerful coaching programs, personal development resources, events, and group mentoring, Rupinder and her team have created a vibrant ecosystem that supports women in both personal and professional dimensions.
A Historic Moment on the World Stage
One of Rupinder’s most celebrated accomplishments came in 2022 when she led the first all-South Asian female team to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. The expedition was more than an adventure—it was a historic moment and a bold symbol of what women can achieve when they are supported and empowered.
The women braved physical exhaustion, altitude sickness, and emotional hurdles, but they made it—together. The climb became a metaphor for the AWMB journey: overcoming fear, embracing vulnerability, and rising to new heights.
This moment didn’t just put AWMB in the headlines. It planted the seed of possibility in women who had once doubted themselves. Rupinder believes that if you can conquer a mountain, you can conquer anything—especially the invisible mountains within.
The Only Sikh Woman in Forbes Coaches Council
Recognition has followed Rupinder’s journey naturally, but not once has it been the motivation. She is the first and only Sikh woman from the UK to be invited into the prestigious Forbes Coaches Council, a community of global thought leaders and industry experts.
Her work has been featured on respected media platforms including the BBC, Al Jazeera, and Forbes. These accolades are a reflection of her credibility, consistency, and commitment to creating real impact.
She is regularly named in the UK’s most influential power lists and is considered one of the top voices for women’s empowerment, not only in South Asian circles but across professional communities.
Inspire+ and the Gift of Intentional Living
In her quest to create meaningful change, Rupinder launched Inspire+, a six-month coaching membership designed to help women reach their next level—personally and professionally. The program includes monthly live coaching, vision setting, tailored tools, accountability, and access to a powerful community.
The results speak for themselves. Women who join Inspire+ experience increased confidence, clearer goals, better work-life balance, and a newfound sense of identity. The program is a cornerstone offering that reflects Rupinder’s holistic philosophy—your career, your health, your relationships, your mindset—they’re all connected.
Her coaching is about helping women shift from simply surviving to powerfully thriving.
A Mother, A Mentor, A Movement
While Rupinder is a celebrated leader, speaker, and coach, she is also a devoted mother to her children, Daya and Sahib. Her role as a mother further deepens her empathy and connection with other women navigating motherhood, ambition, and identity.
She often speaks about the importance of being real, not perfect—showing up with vulnerability, authenticity, and heart. This openness is what draws women to her and keeps them engaged with AWMB for years.
Rupinder doesn’t just talk the talk—she walks it, lives it, and breathes it. Her ability to blend emotional intelligence with practical strategy makes her an extraordinary leader and one of the most respected coaches in the UK.
A Vision That Keeps Growing
Rupinder’s journey is far from over. She continues to dream, build, and lead with purpose. Her vision is to expand AWMB into an even larger global movement that reaches millions of women across continents—especially those who feel unseen or unheard.
She wants women to know that they are not alone. That they can change their lives. That they are powerful beyond measure.
Through her tireless dedication, Rupinder Kaur is not just creating a legacy—she’s building a future where every woman knows her worth and lives a life full of power, passion, and possibility.
