About

When I first came to the U.S. in 2017, I thought hard work alone would get me through. I was wrong. My first semester left me with a 1.77 GPA, $100,000 in student loans, and a probation letter. I failed interviews. Applied to thousands of jobs. Heard “no” more times than I can count. But step by step, I figured it out. - I learned how to network authentically. - I learned how to recover from rejection and negotiate offers. - I learned how to build a career in a country where your visa status is often the biggest barrier. That journey taught me one thing: career growth is about moving “From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be,” and that became my motto. And it took me from rejections → OYO → Amazon → Microsoft. Today, I coach professionals — especially immigrants — to land their American dream jobs and thrive in the U.S. job market. → Resume + LinkedIn positioning → Networking strategies that actually work → Interview prep (behavioral + technical) → Salary + visa negotiation Because I know what it feels like to struggle, and I also know what it takes to turn things around. 📌 What do I do now at That Indian Coach? I help job seekers cut through the noise, skip the endless rejections, and build careers they’re proud of. DM me if you want to land your next role in the U.S. - faster and smarter.

Chief Career Strategist & Founder

Nov 2013Present · 12 yrs 6 mos · Seattle, Washington, United States

  • What started with helping cousins and friends make life-changing academic and career decisions has grown into a full-blown mission. Over the past 12+ years, I’ve personally mentored 500+ students and professionals — guiding them through admissions, job switches, career clarity, and growth challenges.
  • I’ve worked with individuals from top institutions like NYU, UCLA, USC, UIC, Carnegie Mellon, IITs, IIMs, UTD, and more — and helped professionals land or thrive in roles at Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, EY, Goldman Sachs, Salesforce, McKinsey, Bain & Co., and beyond.
  • As an Indian coach, I deeply understand the unique struggles that international professionals — especially Indians in the U.S. — face in navigating careers abroad. But my approach is for everyone, no matter where you're from. I work across backgrounds, geographies, and citizenships — because career growth shouldn’t be limited by nationality.
  • No certifications, no fluff — just real experience, empathy, and results. That’s how I get people from where they are to where they want to be.
