Neha Phatak Rakshas

To some, handwriting is just a way to communicate. But for Neha Phatak Rakshas, it is a window into the human spirit, revealing our fears, patterns, strengths, and untapped potential.

A graphologist, graphotherapist and forensic handwriting and signature expert, Neha doesn’t just read letters. She listens to what they are trying to say. Over the last 22 years, she has helped thousands find clarity, resolve inner conflicts, and heal through the strokes of a pen.

Her journey into graphology began in 2002, during her student life. She was deeply fascinated by handwriting analysis and began informally analysing the writing of classmates and friends. Even while pursuing her Bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Telecommunications from Pune University, M.Tech in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research from IIT Bombay (2010–2012) and working across industries like logistics, analytics, banking, and finance, her passion for graphology continued to grow and she kept refining her graphology skills alongside. She kept analysing handwriting samples and helping her colleagues and peers. It always remained a side hustle — a quiet but constant force in her life — until it gradually transformed into a full-fledged practice.

Through her company, Inside Ink Graphology Solutions, Neha began offering services that extended far beyond conventional handwriting analysis. She started helping people understand themselves and their challenges. From career guidance and compatibility assessments to emotional healing and graphotherapy, she provided support for students, working professionals, couples and individuals to choose the right path for their education, progress and succeed in their careers, solve relationship struggles and overcome issues like anxiety, fear, financial troubles, and even physical ailments like back pain and digestive problems.

Her recruitment analysis and work performance assessment services support company owners and team managers in hiring suitable candidates and enhancing productivity and efficiency within their organizations.

She is a trusted expert in forensic handwriting and signature verification. With over 100 forensic cases handled, her reports have helped resolve legal disputes, detect forgery, and confirm the authenticity of important documents in multiple languages including English, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Sindhi, French, Tamil, Arabic, Japanese and Khmer.

Neha is not only a practitioner but also a teacher. She has conducted more than 50 graphology courses, empowering students from all walks of life. From homemakers to professionals, her students learn how to apply graphology in their personal and professional journeys.

For her, teaching is not about sharing theory. It is about guiding transformation. Every handwriting sample she analyses is a story. Every student is a storyteller in the making.

There are some moments she will never forget. Like the couple who reconsidered their divorce after a compatibility analysis helped them see the unspoken emotions they were both carrying. Or the Japanese client dealing with an obscure case of vandalism, where her detailed handwriting analysis helped pinpoint the culprit despite the language difference.

Every case brings its own lessons. As Neha says, "I never find my work boring. Every script is different. Every mind is unique. Somewhere in those strokes, I find the answers they are searching for."

One of Neha’s biggest challenges is that there are no set templates. Every case is unique. Instead of being deterred, she uses each case to sharpen her methods. She is building a growing reference manual from her past experiences to streamline her process while keeping every analysis personalised and precise.

Her work has grown through trust, word-of-mouth, and repeat clients. In March 2024, she was honoured with the Business Excellence Award by The Success Today as the Most Promising Graphologist and Handwriting Analyst from Mumbai. She has been featured in Gujarat Midday Life Plus and The Navhind Times for her unique work.

For Neha, being self-made means staying true to purpose, serving with integrity, and believing in the quiet power of transformation. It is about helping people realise that change begins with self-awareness. Not all breakthroughs are dramatic. Sometimes, they are written gently across the page.

Through her website and her YouTube channel Graphology by Neha, she continues to share knowledge, create awareness, and guide individuals toward meaningful growth.

Her mission is clear.

• To make handwriting and signature analysis accessible, impactful, and solution-oriented.

• To help people rewrite their lives with confidence and clarity.

• To remind every individual that the answers they seek may already be in their own handwriting.
