* Real-World Problem
Millions of students in India choose career paths based on peer pressure, societal norms, or incomplete information. There's a disconnect between what students study, what they're good at, and the careers actually available in the job market. As a result, many end up underemployed or in fields they aren't passionate about.
* Gaps in Current Solutions
Generic Counselling: Existing school/college counselors often give outdated or one-size-fits-all advice.
No Skill Mapping: There’s no platform that continuously evaluates a student’s skills, interests, and matches them with market trends.
Disconnected from Industry: Most career guidance platforms don’t include input from actual companies or professionals.
Language/Access Barrier: Many platforms are in English and ignore regional languages or students from rural backgrounds.
* Who Benefits
Students: Can make informed decisions about what to study or pursue.
Parents: Gain clarity and confidence in supporting their child's decisions.
Educational Institutions: Better student outcomes and placements.
Recruiters/Industry: Get candidates who are better prepared and aligned with current demands.
*Why This Problem Matters to Me
As a student myself, I’ve seen friends struggle with uncertainty and regret over career decisions. I believe every student deserves access to personalized, updated, and practical career guidance—no matter their background. With the right tools, we can stop guessing our futures and start building them with confidence.
