Coaching Software, India
Clients, scheduling, sessions, goals, notes, packages and invoicing, in one place, instead of a calendar, a folder of spreadsheets and a full inbox.
Coaching software in India
One platform to run a coaching practice, so the admin stops getting in the way of the coaching.
Coaching software puts a coaching practice or program in one system: coachees, scheduling, session notes, goals, 360 assessments, invoices and reports. Coaching Loft provides it for independent coaches, coaching firms and the HR and L&D teams running leadership coaching in Indian organizations.
Coaches manage bookings, private notes and client packages. Firms run a white-label platform under their own brand for their whole coach team. Enterprises run internal and external coaches together, let coachees choose from coach pools, and give sponsors progress and ROI reports without exposing session content.
Coaching in India
India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) now has its operating rules: the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025, notified on 14 November 2025. The Data Protection Board of India oversees compliance, and the rules on notices, security safeguards and breach reporting take effect 18 months after notification. In DPDP terms, the organization running a coaching program is typically the Data Fiduciary, each coachee is a Data Principal, and a platform processing data on its behalf is a Data Processor, which the Act says may be engaged only under a valid contract.
Rule 6 sets minimum security safeguards, starting with encryption or similar measures and controlled access to systems, and expects contracts with Data Processors to cover safeguards too. Coaching Loft encrypts data in transit and at rest, lets admins require two-factor authentication, and splits administration into four role types with a detailed permission matrix. We also offer enterprise clients a data processing agreement. Session notes can be kept private, and an account-wide default can lock who reads what a coach writes, so managers and sponsors see progress rather than conversations.
Coaching Loft's hosting is outside India: our servers are in the United Arab Emirates, with no choice of region. The DPDP Act allows personal data to be processed outside India unless the Central Government restricts transfers to a notified country, so check the current notifications as part of your assessment. Coachees can ask to access, correct or erase their data, and under the Rules, Data Fiduciaries must respond within 90 days; export of reports, client files and raw data helps you answer.
India runs on Indian Standard Time, UTC+5:30, and that half-hour offset makes manual scheduling with colleagues in Europe, the Gulf or North America easy to get wrong. AI coach matching weighs time zone, language and meeting format, and calendar sync covers Google, Outlook, Exchange, Office 365 and iCalendar. Buyers recognize ICF's ACC, PCC and MCC credentials, backed by ICF chapters in cities including Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Pune and Chennai.
Encryption in transit and at rest, two-factor authentication admins can require, and role-based admin access.
Private notes and an account-wide lock keep session content away from managers and sponsors.
Coach pools, AI matching, group coaching and 360 assessments for leadership programs.
Prices in US dollars, a 30-day free trial for firms, enterprises and individual coaches, and free onboarding.
The criteria
Four groups: the coaching itself, your client's side, the business, and room to grow. For each one, the question to ask any vendor, and how Coaching Loft answers it.
Ask: Does each client's history, files, goals and notes live in one record, or across several screens and tools?
In Coaching Loft: One record per client, with every engagement, file and session kept against it.
Ask: Can clients book straight into your own calendar, with reminders and recurring sessions?
In Coaching Loft: Scheduling syncs with your calendar. Clients book, reminders go out, and recurring sessions are set once.
Ask: Are notes structured and kept with the engagement, and can action items be shared with the client?
In Coaching Loft: Structured notes and shared action items on every plan. AI Notepad Summaries turn raw notes into structured sections on Premium and Master.
Ask: Can you set goals with the client and track progress between sessions, not only during them?
In Coaching Loft: Goals and actions are set with the client and tracked between sessions, in their portal and yours.
Ask: Does the platform bring anything to the session itself, such as questions or assessments?
In Coaching Loft: A built-in library of 500+ coaching questions, and assessments whose results come into the coaching conversation.
Ask: Does every client get a portal, and is there a fee for each client you add?
In Coaching Loft: Every client gets a free portal on every plan. There is no per-client fee; each plan includes a set number of active clients.
Ask: Can coaches and clients use it properly from a phone?
In Coaching Loft: Coaches use the browser or the iOS and Android apps. Coachees and admins use the web app on any device, including their phone.
Ask: Can a client accept an agreement and buy a package without a separate document or payment tool?
In Coaching Loft: Packages and agreements are part of the engagement, so the paperwork and the coaching stay in the same place.
Ask: Can you invoice for sessions and packages, and get paid, inside the platform?
In Coaching Loft: Invoicing and payments run inside the platform, for packages and for single sessions.
Ask: Does it connect to the tools you already use, such as your calendar, email marketing and CRM?
In Coaching Loft: Google Calendar and Outlook sync, Zapier, Mailchimp, PayPal and HubSpot.
Ask: Can you see sessions, goals and outcomes in a report, and does the report build itself?
In Coaching Loft: Reports on Core and above. AI-Generated Reports and Predictive Analytics on Premium and Master, and on every firm and enterprise coach seat.
Ask: Do you pay per coach, per client, or per employee coached? What happens to the bill when you grow?
In Coaching Loft: You pay for coaches only. Client portals are free, and on firm and enterprise accounts coachee and admin seats are free and unlimited.
Ask: If you go from solo to a firm, or run a program across an organization, do you have to move platforms?
In Coaching Loft: The same platform runs a solo practice, a firm and an enterprise program, so nothing has to be migrated as you grow.
Ask: Can you assign and move clients between coaches, oversee their activity, and match coachees to the right coach?
In Coaching Loft: Assign or move clients between coaches and oversee every coach and coachee from one dashboard. AI Coach Matching pairs coachees with coaches by goals, expertise, availability and style.
Ask: Can clients see your brand and your domain instead of the vendor's?
In Coaching Loft: White label and a custom domain on firm and enterprise accounts: your logo, colors and navigation. The Master plan carries your own brand identity too.
Ask: Is client data encrypted, is the vendor GDPR compliant, and can it connect to your company sign-in?
In Coaching Loft: GDPR compliant with 256-bit encryption, a security audit report for procurement teams, and SSO as a paid add-on. More on the security page.
Pricing
Coaching software is priced in one of three ways. Per coach: you pay for each coach on the platform, and clients come free or within a limit. Per client or per employee coached: the bill rises with every person you coach, which matters most for organizations rolling coaching out to many employees. Flat tiers: a set price for a set number of clients or features.
Compare the price at the size you expect to be in a year, not the size you are today, and look for what sits outside the headline price: fees per client, AI features held back for higher tiers, and add-ons such as single sign-on or white labeling.
| Plan | Best for | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Getting listed, 2 active clients | $12 a year Paid yearly only |
| Core | A professional practice, 10 active clients | $25 a month or $250 a year |
| Premium | 30 active clients and the full AI suite | $55 a month or $550 a year |
| Master | Unlimited clients and your own brand | $95 a month or $950 a year |
| Firms and enterprise | Several coaches, one program | $95 per coach seat a month 12-month term, or $950 per seat a year. Coachee and admin seats free |
Core, Premium, Master, firm and enterprise accounts come with a 30-day free trial, and firm and enterprise accounts include onboarding at no extra cost. Full details on the pricing page and the firms and enterprise pricing page.

Questions
Under the DPDP Act, the Data Fiduciary is responsible for compliance, including for processing a Data Processor carries out on its behalf, so we do not claim compliance for you. Coaching Loft provides safeguards that Rule 6 describes: encryption in transit and at rest, access control through four admin role types, and two-factor authentication admins can require. Enterprise clients can sign a data processing agreement, and customers can export their data.
Coaching Loft's servers are in the United Arab Emirates, and there is no choice of hosting region. The DPDP Act lets personal data be processed outside India unless the Central Government restricts transfers to a notified country, and Rule 15 lets the government set requirements on making data available to foreign states. Check the current notifications when you assess us, and ask for a data processing agreement if you are an enterprise client.
The Rules were notified on 14 November 2025 and phase in. The rules setting up the Data Protection Board of India applied immediately, and the rules on consent managers follow one year later. The core duties, including notices to Data Principals, reasonable security safeguards and personal data breach intimation, apply 18 months after notification. Use that window to review every platform that holds your coaching data.
Coaching Loft's prices are listed in US dollars. Firms, enterprises and the Core, Premium and Master coach plans all get a 30-day free trial, and onboarding is free, so you can run a pilot group before you commit. Enterprise buyers can also sign a data processing agreement as part of procurement, which helps with the DPDP contract requirement for Data Processors.
Yes. Internal and external coaches work on one account, wherever they are based. AI coach matching takes time zone, language and meeting format into account, coach pools let coachees choose their coach, and sessions run on Zoom or Microsoft Teams links. Calendar sync with Google, Outlook, Exchange, Office 365 and iCalendar keeps bookings in IST aligned with each coach's own calendar.
