Where Strategy Meets Self-Mastery
Meet Khurshed Dordi
For more than three decades, Khurshed Dordi has lived at the intersection of finance, entrepreneurship, and human performance , building institutions, scaling startups, and shaping leaders who turn complexity into clarity.
As Managing Director and Group COO of Deutsche Bank India, he helped transform the franchise into the bank’s second-largest global hub, overseeing businesses that spanned investment banking, markets, technology, risk management and operations. Those years offered a ringside view of how scale truly happens , not through hierarchy or capital alone, but through disciplined execution, culture, and trust.
Khurshed is recognised as a top global voice in Banking and Consultancy by LinkedIn
Together, these experiences shaped his central philosophy , that leadership is the ultimate growth constraint. When a leader evolves, the company follows. When the leader stagnates, so does everything else.
The NortheStar Approach
Today, Khurshed works one-on-one with CEOs, founders, and boards through NortheStar, his leadership and business coaching practice.
His work blends strategic advisory and behavioural transformation, helping leaders scale profitably, strengthen culture, and prepare for investment or succession.
At the heart of his method lies the SCORE™️ Framework , a system that integrates
Strategy, Culture, Operations, Revenue, and Execution into one coherent growth engine.
It is equal parts business discipline and leadership design, developed from decades of hands-on experience across global corporations and entrepreneurial ventures.
Leaders turn to Khurshed when the playbook that once worked no longer does , when instinct needs structure, and success demands reinvention.
His coaching is not about adding more; it’s about seeing clearly, deciding sharply, and executing simply.
What He Believes
• Growth is a rhythm, not a race. Sustainable success is built on balance, not burnout.
• Leadership is an inner game. Companies don’t outgrow their leaders; they reflect them.
• Clarity is the new currency. In a distracted world, focus is the ultimate competitive advantage.
Beyond the Boardroom
When he’s not coaching or writing, he can be found exploring quiet alleys in far flung locales, advising education institutions, mentoring young founders, or preparing his next keynote on leadership in an AI-augmented world.
Khurshed’s mission is simple: to help leaders find calm in chaos, clarity in complexity, and conviction in every decision. Because when leaders rise, everything else follows.
