About Ankita

Ankita Rao is a Certified Professional Coach, CFA Charterholder, and yoga philosophy practitioner with over 15 years across management consulting (EY), international development, and venture philanthropy. She is the founder of Lost + Found, a mentorship practice based in Toronto that applies Samkhya-Yoga philosophy — specifically the Purusha/Prakriti distinction and the five kleshas — to identity-level decision-making for professionals and entrepreneurs navigating pivotal transitions. She has coached individuals and teams across sectors including finance, consulting, and the public sector, and holds a contracted coaching role at McGill University Career Services. Her work sits at the intersection of ancient philosophical frameworks and the practical realities of professional life — giving participants precise language for the decisions that most frameworks fail to address.
