Homework battles. Slipping grades.
Welcome to the Lab — we've found the formula.

He Knows the Formula From Inside the Lab

Professor Shinde has sat across from thousands of students. As a business professor for two decades, he ran the same experiment over and over: watch capable students struggle — not because they lacked ability, but because no one had ever given them the formula to manage their own time, attention, and work. The problem wasn't the students. It was a missing system.

Before academia, Professor Shinde built a career at the highest levels of the corporate world — Eli Lilly, American Express, Pfizer. He brought that real-world rigor into his research and into the classroom. But the data that shaped him most wasn't from boardrooms. It was from office hours — students who came in overwhelmed, not because they lacked potential, but because they'd never been shown how to channel it. He made it his mission to build the formula that could change that.

"He helped me believe in myself, and have the confidence to go further than I thought I could." — Pamela Padilla, four-year student under Professor Shinde

Over time, Professor Shinde developed something most professors don't: a structured, repeatable methodology grounded in published research on mindfulness, social-emotional learning, and behavior change. Drawing on evidence-based practices — self-regulation, intentional habit formation, and emotional awareness — he built a formula for cultivating the executive function skills schools assume students already have but rarely teach. The approach is research-backed, but it's also deeply practical: it works because it starts with close mentorship, not theory.

"His approach to habit change, routine development, and sustainable lifestyle transformation is invaluable. After working with him for nearly a decade, I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I've ever made." — Hollie Thompson, long-term student

He founded ExecFunctionLab to make that formula available to every family — not just the students lucky enough to land in his classroom. Every coach on the team is trained in Professor Shinde's approach. Every program reflects the same core belief: your student already has what it takes. Our job is to give them the system to prove it.

"Before I started working with Professor Shinde, I was trapped in a constant state of anxiety. I noticed a remarkably quick turnaround — suddenly finding myself able to avoid self-sabotaging habits and commit to actions that actually supported my future." — John Hader, coaching client
