My career hasn't been a straight line - and that's exactly why I might be useful to you. I did my MBA from IIM Indore (5-yr IPM Programme), then spent 4 years in field sales in insurance - the kind of work most MBA grads avoid. Then I took a full career break to prepare for UPSC, cleared prelims but missed Mains, and had to rebuild my career from scratch. Today I work in the Founders' Office at Ditto Insurance, one of India's most loved fintech startups, handling marketing and growth. I know what it feels like to have a gap on your resume, to question your choices, and to start over. I also know what it takes to get into a founders office at a profitable startup without a traditional path. I can help you with: Navigating a career break or gap year(s) on your resume Breaking into startup marketing or founders office roles Understanding what sales experience really teaches you MBA to startup transition Interview prep for marketing and growth roles I won't give you generic advice. I'll tell you exactly what worked for me and what didn't. P.S. I only take sessions where I genuinely think I can help. If your situation isn't something I have experience with, I'll tell you upfront.
