Rajesh Kumar — Co-Founder

I build education businesses and guide people through career decisions. 18 years. 3 edtech ventures scaled to ₹100Cr+. Millions of learners impacted. But the work that matters most? The 5000+ conversations I've had with: → Parents unsure if their child's ₹40L degree is worth it → Professionals stuck mid-career, looking for a way forward → Founders building in education, hitting walls I've already hit → CHROs frustrated that graduates can't do the job → University leaders who know something's broken but don't know how to fix it I sit at the center of India's talent crisis. Every single day. WHAT I'VE BUILT: - 3 edtech companies → scaled, steered exits, raised capital - Impact: millions of learners and professionals - Experience: founding, scaling, failing, exiting — I've done it all WHAT I ACTUALLY DO NOW: For Families & Individuals: No-fluff career guidance. Real talk on degrees vs. skills, career pivots, what actually makes you employable in 2026. For Institutions (Universities, Employers, Government): Systems-level truth. Why your graduates aren't getting hired. What curriculum reform misses. How to build actual employability outcomes. For Founders & Investors: Ground reality. Where edtech opportunities actually are. Why 90% of startups fail. What VCs don't see in due diligence. How to build businesses that scale impact AND revenue. MY STYLE: Direct. Evidence-backed. Sometimes uncomfortable. I don't do motivational speeches or generic LinkedIn wisdom. I share patterns from 18 years of building, failing, scaling and from hundreds of real conversations happening right now. If you want honest answers about education, careers, or building in this space, I respond to every thoughtful DM.
