History
ANLP India’s story is inseparable from the people who developed NLP training and professional education in India.
2007
ANLP India began as an India chapter of ANLP UK. Dr. David J. Lincoln, psychologist and Master Trainer of NLP, operated under the ANLP India banner. He would serve as President of the association and as a key figure in its accreditation work, working for many years from Goa and as visiting faculty.
2008
In 2008, Sushil Mehrotra joined Dr. David J. Lincoln as co-founder. From that point, regular NLP programmes across India were organised and managed by him — a shift from a banner to a working national calendar. During the same reorganisation, ANLP India became an independent professional community in India, separate from ANLP UK.
2009
Umesh Soman became a member of ANLP India as a promoter of the association’s programmes.
2010
The first trainer training in India was held in Goa. Umesh Soman became a trainer-member. Ralph Watson, an International Master Trainer of NLP, co-delivered the first ANLP India Trainer Certification. Dr. David J. Lincoln, Sushil Mehrotra, Ralph Watson and Umesh Soman are trainer-members forming the core committee.
