There are qualified experts at mindCraft for each of the services available.

In the corporate sector, she has done psychometric testing and training programmes with some renowned companies and consulting firms.

Some of the tests conducted at these work places were those that gauged aptitude, attitude, leadership potential, communication skills and values systems. Reliable and standardized tools were used to obtain potent data about the work force. This process helped in identifying strengths, abilities, weaknesses, loopholes, high potential staff and the need for training.

Based on the requirements of the target company as suggested by them, findings of the tests and further insights into the personal concerns of the work force (gained by one on one interaction with the staff members), training programmes were designed and conducted. Some of the areas covered were effective communication and other basic work etiquettes, relationship management and interpersonal skills, organization of time and work, team building, leadership skills (both conceptual and practical), motivation of self and the team, decision making and overall managerial effectiveness.

She enjoys writing articles on psychological concerns in newspapers and magazines. MindCraft has been featured on CNBC, daily newspapers, and magazines. Dr Shwetambara Sabharwal has published papers in Journals and presented them at both national and international conferences. Her ambition is to contribute towards better community mental health and to accomplish this she has initiated a couple of interesting and innovative services. The first is OVER THE MOON, the first day and night Créche in the city aimed at providing early cognitive stimulation to children (6 months to 12 yrs) thereby enhancing learning ability and time off to couples and parents to deal with home, work, family and social responsibilities. It is the first day care to provide a structured curriculum in a comfortable loving environment to children. This enables the qualified team of psychologists and teachers running the day care to identify special needs and intervene well in time. The second is YOUNG VOICE FORUM, which is a safe place for young adults (16 years +) to express, communicate and understand the challenges, changes and stress experienced along with their peers. The group meetings are facilitated by Dr Sabharwal and very interesting topics relevant to the age group are discussed. Since peer influence in this age is very significant, she uses peer counseling as a strength in this forum. Dr Sabharwal believes in working with commitment and sincerity for whatever she undertakes, that there is a lot of hard work to be done and much to be achieved in the field of psychology
