About

A common question I’m asked is - “Why did you leave your management consulting career in US to build Pivot from India?” Here's why 👇 Most of us spend about 1/3rd of our lives working. So, it’s a shame that a surprisingly large number of people end up staying in jobs where they don’t feel alive. After spending almost a decade in consulting, I realized that as we evolve in our lives along with the rest of the world, so do our interests, abilities, and goals. If that’s so, then you shouldn’t have to go through a long, haphazard process to land your new role. Eg, landing a new role shouldn't require compromising on your core priorities or exhausting yourself for months to get any callbacks. It should not require going back to grad school or a blind leap of faith. Grad schools are costly and time-consuming, leaps of faith more lonely and stressful. That’s why, Pivot. It’s a one-stop solution for mid-career professionals – where you get the tools, insights, and personalized support to achieve your ambitious goals. It’s where people find their motivation and process to make their dream role a reality. It’s structured and personalised, yet low on time and cost. We are on a mission to help every individual build the career they love! We are currently hiring for full stack developer and growth/marketing roles. If you are passionate about what we are building, reach out at hiring@myPivot.work ***** Before Pivot, I worked in HR Consulting in US and India, and led the high-growth Executive Rewards vertical for Mercer India in my last role.
