Emotional Intelligence Trainer in Pune | Avinash Chate
Pune is hybrid by default — Hinjewadi IT teams ship across timezones, Chakan plants run 24x7, and managers live in escalation mode. Without emotional intelligence, that pace becomes attrition. Avinash Chate, two-time TEDx speaker and creator of The Winning Kite (KITE) framework, runs Emotional Intelligence at Work workshops for Pune teams who need to convert pressure into performance, not panic. Cohorts span Hinjewadi captives, Magarpatta product orgs, Pimpri-Chinchwad manufacturing leadership and Kharadi shared-services centres. The workshop is anchored in self-awareness, regulation, empathy and influence — with concrete drills tied to real Pune work scenarios: hand-overs across shifts, escalations across geographies and feedback across hierarchy. Designed for managers, senior ICs and HR business partners.
Built for Pune IT, Auto and Hybrid Teams
Pune managers face a unique cocktail — global stand-ups, plant noise and family expectations. The program is calibrated to that cocktail rather than a textbook EQ model.
The Winning Kite Framework, EQ-First
KITE puts Emotional Quotient first by design: EQ stabilises the leader, then RQ multiplies them through relationships, PQ converts them into performance, and Success defines the actual outcome. EQ is the lever that makes the other three usable.

Recent EQ Training Engagement in Pune
A recent Pune engagement ran across three sites — a Hinjewadi IT captive, a Chakan auto-belt manufacturer and a Magarpatta corporate park product org. The workshop was anchored on the EQ pillar of the KITE framework: self-awareness drills tied to escalation patterns, regulation routines for shift hand-overs at Chakan, empathy mapping for cross-geography stand-ups out of Hinjewadi, and influence rehearsal for senior IC promotions at Magarpatta. The 1-day core was followed by a 90-day reinforcement track — three coaching touchpoints with managers, supported by short Marathi and Hindi micro-modules to keep frontline supervisors engaged. The brief was simple: convert pressure into performance, not panic. The intent of every drill, journal and role-play was behavioural shift on the floor, not classroom catharsis.
Emotional Intelligence FAQ — Pune
What is emotional intelligence training?
Emotional intelligence training builds four core capabilities at work: self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy and influence. In Pune cohorts, Avinash Chate anchors these in real workplace scenarios — escalations across geographies, shift hand-overs at Chakan plants and feedback across hierarchy at Hinjewadi IT — so managers convert pressure into performance instead of panic.
How is EQ training different from regular soft-skills training?
Regular soft-skills training focuses on communication scripts and etiquette. EQ training works one layer deeper — on the emotions that drive those behaviours. The KITE framework puts Emotional Quotient first by design: EQ stabilises the leader, then Relationship Quotient and Performance Quotient become usable. Without EQ, soft skills collapse under stress.
Can sessions be delivered in Marathi or Hindi?
Yes. Sessions are available in English, Hindi and Marathi. Pune cohorts often run bilingual — English plus Marathi for plant leadership at Chakan and Pimpri-Chinchwad, English plus Hindi for cross-region IT teams at Hinjewadi and Kharadi.
How long is a typical EQ training program?
Formats range from a half-day introduction, a 1-day workshop, or a 4-week cohort with manager coaching. Many Pune corporates choose a 90-day reinforcement track — workshop plus three follow-on coaching touchpoints — to convert classroom insight into changed manager behaviour on the floor.
