Hi, I’m Nikita, born & brought up in India, living in Germany since last 12 years. I'm a PhD in Autonomous Vehicles from Germany and currently working at BMW, where I contribute to innovations in making the self driving vehicles safer for public. Over the past several years, I’ve combined my academic research with hands-on engineering in one of the most competitive domains, giving me a dual perspective that I now bring into my coaching. I help students and early-career researchers navigate the PhD journey smartly and strategically, and I specialize in coaching those looking to transition from academia to industry roles. A PhD doesn’t have to be a chaotic or unstructured experience—it can be systematic, efficient, and aligned with long-term career goals. I guide you in turning vague research ideas into focused, achievable objectives, and in identifying the skills and networks needed to move ahead confidently. 🌍 With my experience in the German research ecosystem and the European tech industry, I also offer guidance on: Working and studying in Germany or the EU Building a research profile that appeals to both academia and industry Communicating your technical expertise effectively in CVs, interviews, and networking
