ABOUT ME

Nitya Wakhlu is the founder and creative head at Nitya Wakhlu Innovations.  She specializes in using Visual Thinking and Experiential Learning to create whole-brained tools that support learning and change.

Nitya is best known for her work as a graphic facilitator. She has worked with corporate, government and non-profit groups across North America, India and Europe. As a graphic facilitator, Nitya brings a ninja-like listening ability to the table. She distills what she hears and creates a large-scale mural of key insights and emerging conversation patterns. She does this using images, words, connectors and colorful cartoons. This live visual capture prevents precious insight from being lost, stimulates higher levels of group creativity and helps the group truly “see the big picture”.

Nitya grew up and studied in India and has a unique cross-cultural perspective. She has a bachelors degree in electronics and telecommunication engineering. She also has an MBA in Human Resources with a strong focus on organization development and learning design. Right out of business school, Nitya was selected to GE’s Young Leader Development Program, a fast-track program for young leaders.  She then took on the role of Area Sales Manager where she led a team of 70 people. After that, Nitya worked with Pragati Leadership Institute (India) as a facilitator and consultant in the domain of leadership development and organizational innovation.  Clients she worked with included Fortune 500 companies.  

As a visual practitioner, what Nitya brings to the table is a unique combination of business acumen and organizational understanding, an ability to think very creatively and a deep respect for the art of learning and facilitation.
