About

Everyone deserves a second chance, a fresh start, or a meaningful pivot—especially when careers feel uncertain. That belief has anchored my 40-year journey across corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, and coaching. Over 17 years in corporate leadership, I held senior roles with India’s most respected media houses: The Times of India, The Indian Express, The Hindu, India Today Group, and Zee TV Network, where I served as Senior Vice President, leading a national sales team of 350. These years taught me how to lead with vision, build performance-driven cultures, and navigate complex change. 23 years ago, I made a bold pivot and founded Aspiration, a recruitment agency now trusted across industries, known for presenting only the 4–5 most relevant candidates per mandate. Over 10,000 interviews later, we’ve earned a reputation for precision, integrity, and results. Today, while I continue as Founder & CEO driving strategy, business development, and partnerships, our day-to-day business operations are led independently by Anand, a highly respected recruitment leader, and a handpicked team of well-trained recruiters. Together, they uphold Aspiration’s core promise: fewer, but far more relevant candidates, delivered with speed and accuracy. Now, I focus on what I love most: Career Transition Strategy (B2C) – Helping professionals navigate job changes, career pivots, return-to-work journeys, job change for senior professionals (50 years +) and interview preparation. My coaching format : Premium 1:1 Coaching Strategy session – Deeply personalized, outcome-focused strategy. Along the way, I’ve built a personal brand with 400,000+ followers across platforms, sharing practical, real-world career insights. My Job Search & Interview Course on Udemy is top-rated by learners worldwide. What strengthens our voice with both professionals and employers: TEDx Speaker – Talk selected as Editor’s Pick Guest Author – The Hindu Thought Leader – HRAI, UpGrad Panelist – Republic TV Jury Member – HR Excellence Awards Guest – Global podcasts on hiring & careers If you're in career transition and need a customised strategy, you are at the right place. Let's connect. I’d be glad to support your transition or transformation. DM me here.

Career Transition Coach

Apr 2018Present · 8 yrs

  • Along with being a founder, since 2018 I’ve been coaching professionals through some of the toughest points in their career: job changes, pivots, returning to work after a break, 50+ professionals’ job search strategies , interview prep . .
  • Before that, I spent over three decades across corporate leadership and recruitment. This unique combination lets me see both sides of the table, what candidates struggle with and what hiring teams actually look for.
  • Today, I focus entirely on career transitions and only that. No broad coaching. Just clear, structured support for professionals and hiring teams who need direction at a critical stage.
  • Career Transition Coaching
  • I work 1-on-1 with mid to senior professionals who are:
  • Changing jobs or roles
  • Pivoting to a new industry or function
  • Returning to work after a career break
  • 50+ professionals’s job search strategies
  • Preparing for interviews
  • What I bring to the table?
  • 40+ years of hands-on experience:
  • Held senior roles in media and pharma sectors
  • Built and led a successful recruitment firm for over two decades
  • Conducted 10,000+ interviews
  • Mentored thousands of professionals and hiring teams
  • I know what it takes to switch roles, tell your story well, get hired, and settle in quickly. I also understand what hiring managers look for because I’ve hired for them.
  • What clients say?
  • Most clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unclear. They leave with a plan, momentum, and results. Some have returned after years for a second transition. Others refer their peers or teams. Many are now in leadership roles they once thought were out of reach.
