Chacko Philip is a teacher, mentor, facilitator, and Tarot reader. Originally from Cochin, on the western coast of India, he is now based in Valence (Drôme), France. He teaches Geopolitics, Intercultural Management, and Leadership at several leading business schools in France. In the past 15 years, Chacko has taught at leading institutions such as HEC Paris, Grenoble School of Management, INSEEC MSc, Grenoble Alpes University, and at their partner institutions in Russia, Germany, Georgia and Singapore. In this role, he focuses on raising awareness of the geopolitical and cultural narratives that shape our world. In addition, he also works as an intercultural consultant and mediator specializing in France-India dynamics advising entrepreneurs and businesses.
He holds a MA in Politics & International Relations (University of Pondicherry, India) and a MA in international human Rights Law (Grenoble Alpes University, France). He pursued a PhD in International Relations at the University of Liège, Belgium, but chose to step away after four years to follow his soul’s calling - to explore human consciousness, embodiment, and to be fully present as a father.
In addition to his academic and consulting work, Chacko is trained in Rebirthing Breathwork, Érotypes® (archetypes of Eros), Neo-Tantra, and Feeling Technology (a modality integrating emotions into the body). He facilitates retreats and mentoring spaces in France, guiding individuals & groups to explore eros, creative expression, and expanded states of consciousness. In his mentoring work, Chacko integrates Tarot reading as a divinatory tool to support in soul-embodiment.
Chacko considers himself an avant-gardist, weaving geopolitics, culture, business, embodiment practices, and Tarot into a fabric where each element reinforces the others. Through this synthesis, he seeks to foster the emergence of a new collective consciousness—bridging intellect, intuition, and embodied wisdom.
