About Skills Beyond Education 

I’m Captain Preetham Madhukar—former sea captain with over 20 years of sailing the high seas. During that time, I learned some powerful lessons in discipline, resilience, and leadership skills. But it wasn’t just the ocean that shaped me—it was the passion I found for empowering others that really changed the course of my life.

​​

It all began one day when I watched the movie Idiocracy. The thought hit me like a lightning bolt: society is getting more distracted, losing focus, and becoming weaker with every passing day. With instant gratification just a click away, I realized something had to change. I couldn’t sit back and watch potential go to waste. The drive to make a difference came from the lessons my parents taught me—their incredible willpower and discipline showed me that when you have the will, there’s no obstacle you can’t overcome.

​

That passion led me to create Skills Beyond Education in 2016. My mission? To help individuals unlock their true potential and rise above their limitations through personal development coaching and leadership skills coaching.

​

As a father, my journey into education led me down the path of Waldorf-inspired learning. I found this approach truly focused on creativity, hands-on skills, and personal growth, and it reinforced my belief in the power of holistic development.

​

In 2022, I took a step further and wrote 3 Culprits: Laziness, Fear, & Doubt, a book dedicated to the indomitable willpower and resilience of my parents. It’s a journey I share in my TEDx talk as well, where I encouraged audiences to take charge of their potential and break free from self-imposed limits.

​

After my TEDx talk, I expanded my vision to reach those who needed a practical and impactful way to build willpower and determination. We also re-launched stargazing camps in 2016, where we took schoolchildren on a journey to explore the night sky. It was about more than just looking at stars—it was about inspiring these kids to think bigger, to dream bigger, and to understand the universe in a way they’d never considered before. This camp didn’t go unnoticed. It was featured on News 1 Karnataka and other local newspapers, recognizing the positive impact it made on the children and the community.

​

Our work has also been recognized with the Ed Falcon Global Award for Excellence in Mentorship, which is truly humbling. We’ve been featured in Insights Success and Advisory Magazine for our contributions to leadership, willpower, and consistency. Most recently, Tally approached us for business and leadership guidance—just another sign that our approach is making waves.

​
