About

I help mid-career and senior professionals navigate job search, career growth, and workplace realities in an AI-disrupted world. I’ve delivered 500+ talks and built a community of 320,000+ professionals across LinkedIn and YouTube. Here is my story: After spending 20+ years in the IT industry, I realized something important: Most career problems are not caused by lack of skill. They are caused by lack of clarity, positioning, and strategy. In Feb 2025, I quit my corporate role to focus full-time on career coaching and education, specifically around topics that are rarely taught in schools, colleges, or corporate training programs. Things like: How careers actually grow after 10, 15, or 20 years Why good performers still get stuck How job search really works at senior levels How AI is quietly changing expectations inside roles How visibility, perception, and power shape outcomes My corporate journey included over two decades at a global IT services firm, where I worked closely with large enterprise clients and spent time in both India and the US. That experience strongly shapes how I look at careers, not as theory, but as lived reality. Today, I work with professionals who want: Better roles, not just role changes Stronger positioning, not random applications Career growth that is intentional, not accidental I offer: One-on-one career coaching Group coaching programs Practical guidance on job search, growth strategy, and career decision-making I also share regular content here on: Job search Career growth AI impact on careers Workplace realities If my work resonates, you can follow along or reach out.
