Hi, I am Jovita Serrao — Career Counsellor, TEDx Speaker, Author, and Co-Founder of Career Pravaas. I am a Gold Medalist Electronics and Telecommunication Engineer with a Master's degree and over a decade of experience teaching at an engineering college in Mumbai. By every conventional measure, I had made the right choices. But the truth is, I chose my stream because I scored well. Not because I understood it. Not because it matched who I was. Just because that is what toppers did. Years later, watching the same confusion repeat in my own students, bright, hardworking young people with no clarity about where their degree was taking them, I decided to do something about it. That is how Career Pravaas was born. What I do: I work with engineering students, recent graduates, and early professionals on the question that most people spend years avoiding: "What should I actually do with my career?" Through personalised career counselling sessions, workshops at engineering colleges, and group programmes, I help people understand their personality, interests, and aptitude, and build a clear, honest roadmap toward work that genuinely fits them. Every session ends with something concrete. Not just conversation. A plan. My background: 🎓 Gold Medalist, Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering 📚 Master's in Engineering 🏫 10+ years as Assistant Professor in Mumbai 🎤 TEDx Speaker — Emotional Resilience and Healing 📖 Author — From Learning to Leading: A Growth Mindset Blueprint for Graduates 🧭 Co-Founder, Career Pravaas My book: From Learning to Leading is a practical guide for recent graduates navigating the leap from college to the corporate world. It covers workplace dynamics, stress management, building meaningful relationships, and leading with authenticity — blending real stories, practical strategies, and a healthy dose of humour. What you can book me for: ✅ 1:1 Career Counselling Session — for students, freshers, and early professionals seeking clarity on direction, stream selection, career pivots, or job search strategy ✅ Resume & LinkedIn Profile Review — a structured, honest review of your resume and LinkedIn with specific, actionable improvements ✅ Career Clarity Call — for anyone feeling stuck, confused, or at a crossroads and wanting a clear starting point ✅ Speaking & Workshops — for colleges, organisations, or events looking for a speaker on career development, growth mindset, emotional resilience, or student empowerment A little more about me: I am also a mother to a wildly curious three-year-old who keeps me endlessly humble, and I write occasional reflections on parenting that blend humour with heartfelt lessons. I am an unapologetic Harry Potter fan who believes deeply in the power of storytelling to educate and inspire. I bring that same belief into every session — because the best career conversations are not just strategic. They are deeply human. Let's connect if: - You are a student or professional who is unclear about your career direction - You are a college or organisation looking for a speaker or workshop facilitator - You just want to talk about growth, career transitions, or good stories I look forward to being part of your journey. 🙏
