About us.

We are two buddies who discovered agile philosophy together. Over the years we did it all - Coaching Individuals, Teams, Executives, and Enterprises while leading large-scale Agile transformations. The more varied experiences we had on our journeys, the more similarities we found in our perspectives towards Agile Coaching. We felt a need for a platform that brings a community of practitioners like us together. That's when we decided to take the plunge and launch October Sprint, a way of Agile Coaching Re-imagined.

Our Mission

To simplify agile coaching by taking a pragmatic view of the Agile manifesto and principles while making it fun.

Our Vision

To be the preferred learning platform for professionals to create, curate, and communicate ideas to deliver the right value at right time, to the right customer

Our Team

Aniruddha Godbole
Co-Founder | Chief Agile Explorer

Ani completed his bachelor's in engineering and moved to the USA to work as a software engineer. After working through various phases of software development for over a decade, he found his passion in the philosophies and principles of Agile. His keen interest in organizational transformation and product development led him to pursue MBA and explore business agility, lean/six sigma, design thinking, integral agile, and other schools of thought. As an agile coach, he enjoys applying his knowledge and experience to facilitate meaningful change.
He enjoys watching other people perform in tv shows and movies while reminiscing his days in amateur theatre.


Pratik Hande
​​Co-Founder | Chief Agile Evangelist

Pratik had a seemingly cliched journey from an Engineer in India to an MBA grad in Boston. His experiences culminated in his foray into the world of agile as a consultant. He believes in the spirituality of agile which makes him the evangelist of the philosophies to customize and adapt them for specific opportunities. He is known to deconstruct each aspect of product development and adopt agility for quicker value delivery.
Don't ask him anything about cricket, kabaddi, movies, TV shows - he won't shut up.
