Lead Trainer & Program Director
Coach Rajiv Sharma is the Founder and Program Director of NLP Limited — India's most sought-after trainer for NLP Master Practitioner in India and India's highest-ranked NLP professional, globally recognised at #5 by Global Gurus 2026. What sets him apart from every NLP trainer in the world is the integration he has built: modern neuroscience of NLP fused with the timeless strategic intelligence of Chanakya's Arthashastra, the leadership principles of the Bhagavad Gita, and the ancient Indian science of disciplined transformation — Sadhana.
This is not a philosophical add-on. It is the intellectual core of his proprietary frameworks — MARK Model® and LeadFORTH® — which were designed to solve a problem ancient Indian teachers understood long before modern psychology did: lasting change requires more than knowledge. It requires a system that connects insight to action, action to habit, and habit to mastery. His programs have been adopted by Google, Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz, NTT Data, Grand Hyatt, The Ritz-Carlton, Shell, and Total.
He holds direct certification from Dr. Richard Bandler, co-creator of NLP — making him one of the best NLP trainers in India with a lineage that connects directly to the origin of the field. His knowledge of NLP spans 35+ years of live training experience across 57 countries. He is the author of Make a MARK in Life, LeadFORTH, and AI-Powered Sales Success — books that give professionals a deeper understanding of NLP and how to apply it in real professional contexts.
The NLP Master Practitioner program in India is an advanced certification — not a starting point. It is designed for professionals who have already completed NLP Practitioner training and are ready to work at the level of beliefs, identity, unconscious change patterns, and modelling human excellence.
Participants who benefit most from this NLP Master Practitioner in India program are typically coaches, corporate trainers, HR leaders, business consultants, sales directors, and independent practitioners who want to deepen their impact, earn greater professional credibility, and build a practice that commands respect. If you have searched for the best NLP Master Practitioner certification programs or the best NLP courses in India or the best NLP master practitioner training course available in the country, this is the program most relevant to your search — and your ambition.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) — also referred to as neuro linguistic programming NLP in academic and professional training contexts — is the study of how language, thought, and behaviour interact — and how modifying those interactions produces lasting change in performance, communication, and leadership. The field of NLP was developed in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, who modelled the world's most effective therapists and communicators to identify the precise patterns behind their results.
An NLP Master Practitioner India programs represents the advanced level of NLP training — building on the NLP Practitioner course and going deeper into beliefs, identity, unconscious change patterns, advanced language structures, and the ability to model human excellence. It is the difference between knowing the tools and knowing how to use them with mastery, precision, and ethical responsibility.
This comprehensive training is built for professionals who already hold an NLP Practitioner certificate and want a practitioner certification course that delivers real transformation — not just theory. It is an integrated NLP experience: the certification, the frameworks, the coaching pathway, and the professional community — all in one program.
The most rigorous NLP Master Practitioner in India curriculum — built on the SNLP / ABNLP Master Practitioner syllabus and enriched exclusively with proprietary MARK Model®, LeadFORTH®, and an ICF-aligned Level 1 Coaching track.
This is an instructor-led training program — not a recorded course or a 1-day training event. Every element of this NLP master practitioner training is designed for deep behavioural change, not surface-level exposure. The course content spans advanced nlp techniques, submodalities, strategy work, language patterns, and the full toolkit of neuro-linguistic programming — taught live, in the room, with real-time feedback and supervised practice sessions.
This program — the most comprehensive NLP master practitioner training in India — runs across 5 curriculum tracks, covering the full practitioner certification training syllabus, proprietary frameworks, and a dedicated coach certification program track aligned to ICF standards. Each training session is instructor-led, live, and fully supervised.
Created by Rajiv Sharma in 2013 and exclusively taught in this NLP Master Practitioner in Certification training in India. Tested by hundreds of thousands of professionals. Adopted by Fortune 500 companies across 57 countries.
The MARK Model was born from a frustration Rajiv observed across two decades of corporate training: workshops generate energy on day one and almost no behaviour change by week three. Companies pay. Employees attend. The real world absorbs them back into the same patterns they arrived with.
MARK solves this by connecting four pillars of lasting effectiveness — Mindset, Action, Repetition, and Knowledge — into a single, self-reinforcing system. At its root lies an ancient Indian insight: lasting transformation (Sadhana) requires more than knowing. It requires a structured practice that connects insight to action, action to habit, and habit to wisdom. Each pillar is powered by specific NLP tools — you learn not just what MARK is, but exactly how to deploy it with yourself and your clients.

Richard Bandler and John Grinder did not teach NLP. They modelled excellence and created a framework. That is what NLP actually is — the skill of building models from observed human genius. In this program, you do not just learn existing models. You learn to build your own.

Request Your Appointment →This NLP Master Practitioner in India program is deliberately limited. It runs once a year — in one city, rotating between Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore. This is a live, in-person training program — not an online course or a recorded module. The depth of transformation this NLP master practitioner training produces requires physical presence, real-time feedback, and supervised training sessions with a certified NLP Master Trainer. When seats are gone, they are gone for the year.
Once a year. One city. Twenty serious learners.
