Young adults today face a career challenge, unlike any other generation in the past. Research shows that about half of the graduates in India are not job ready. This is a result of our somewhat outdated and pedantic system of education with a high focus on memory and marks, while most careers demand application of concepts and practical problem-solving skills. For those who are on the cusp of embarking on their careers, or thinking about what career they should be aspiring to, this is a painful situation for which they are underprepared.
This is a “catch 22” situation. The career market place is being disrupted and is in a state of flux. Those of us who are experienced are not always equipped to help. One way we can address this is to empower you, our youth, with a framework of tools to help you think about this yourself in a manner that is specific to you as an individual. In other words, we move from advice - a prescriptive model - to a data driven, analytical framework. This book is an attempt to do this.
The content is based on the author’s reflections and experience of almost twenty-five years of enabling and empowering people to succeed across multiple roles and companies.

The popular saying goes that if you have the right career, you do not work a single day in your life, because you are too busy having fun at work. This book is born out of his conviction that with the right framework and tools, it is possible to empower young adults to find the right careers for themselves – ones that fit their personality and skills, ones that they will enjoy, and therefore excel at.
