More DetailsFrom Ashish Urankar’s perspective, career counselling is not a luxury. It’s a necessity in today’s rapidly evolving world. With the pace at which industries are transforming due to AI and other emerging technologies, Ashish strongly believes that every student deserves guidance that is both forward-thinking and personalized.
Clarity in a Confusing World Ashish emphasizes that students are bombarded with thousands of career options, many of which didn’t exist a decade ago. Career counselling helps filter through the noise and offers clarity, aligning a student’s interests and strengths with future-ready opportunities.
Avoids Misdirected Choices He has seen how peer pressure and societal expectations often push students into ill-suited paths. Career counselling prevents such missteps by ensuring students make informed decisions based on data, insight, and self-awareness rather than guesswork.
Counsellium was born from a deeply personal mission: to transform the way students make career decisions. Its founder, after years of witnessing students and parents grappling with uncertainty, realized that most young minds are forced to choose their futures with little clarity or structured support. Too often, decisions are driven by external expectations rather than personal alignment. Counsellium emerged as a response to this gap: a platform where students from as early as Grade 9 can explore their career paths with confidence, curiosity, and clarity.
At its core, Counsellium is driven by the belief that the right career decisions begin with timely and informed guidance, not last-minute panic. What sets the platform apart is its unique blend of AI-driven insights and human empathy. While technology powers personalized assessments and career discovery tools, experienced mentors ensure that every student receives real-world advice tailored to their context. This powerful combination empowers students to explore over 100 career paths, including emerging fields many may not even be aware of.
