CEO @ HiCounselor | 2X O-1 Visa Holder | Ex-Deloitte, PwC | Building a Community to Help Job Seekers with Referrals

I came to the US in 2014 for a master's degree at Duke University.

Post-graduation, I was fortunate to start my career as a Tech Consultant at PwC and then with Deloitte in San Francisco. 

However, I always wanted to utilize my tech skills to start my own business. 

In 2020, I decided to leave my job and launched HiCounselor in San Francisco.

The decision wasn't easy as I had many open questions, concerns about immigration, and fear of failure. 

Fortunately, the decision turned out to be the right one. 
✅ Generated millions in revenue
✅ Raised VC funds from top investors in Silicon Valley
✅ Employ more than 40 people in the US, Canada, and India.

👉 These four years have taught me a lot about starting a company as an immigrant in the US, and I want to share this journey with every technical professional who wants to make side income or become a full-time entrepreneur.

✉️ Join my newsletter (https://lnkd.in/gPBziwZ3), where I share weekly actionable tips. 


👉  If you are not ready to leave your full-time job at this time, that's okay.
You can join hicounselor.com/mentor and make a side income by sharing your technical expertise. 

If you need any help, feel free to message me or comment on my posts. I will respond as soon as possible.

When you look at AI through the right lens, it falls into three clear buckets.

So I created the simplest breakdown ever. Save this.

We’re living through three eras of AI: Traditional, Generative, and Agentic


𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 👇

𝟭. 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗜 
↳ Helps you analyze, classify, and detect patterns.
↳ No creativity. Just logic, data, and rules.
✔ Predictive analytics
✔ Classification systems
✔ Anomaly detection


𝟮. 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗜
↳ This is where ChatGPT and LLMs changed the game.
↳ AI doesn’t just process information, it creates new content.
✔ Content generation
✔ Workflow automation
✔ Knowledge systems (RAG)

𝟯. 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗜 
↳ AI that acts, executes, and makes decisions on its own.
↳ Not just answers… real outcomes.
✔ Agents and tool use
✔ Multi-agent orchestration
✔ AI product integration


If you're learning AI in 2025-26, don’t stop at Generative AI.
Aim for building Agents, not just prompts.

The world is evolving from
"AI tells you what to do" to "AI does it for you."

Vishwas Kshirsagar

This is a difficult message for me to write, but I'm reaching out because I'm in a truly desperate situation.

A recent accident has left me with severe injuries, multiple fractures in my head, a damaged spinal cord, internal organ damage, and a dislocated leg. I was in the ICU for 22 days, fighting for my life, and now I'm home on strict bed rest for the next 6 months.

My family and I have already spent lakhs on my treatment, and the medical bills are still piling up. I've used up all my savings, and I can't afford to continue the treatment I so desperately need. My recovery is far from over, but I'm unable to move forward without financial help.

I'm humbly asking for any help you can offer, big or small. Even 1 rupee would mean the world and bring me one step closer to getting back on my feet. I'm sharing my bank details below.

Bank Name: HDFC Bank
Account Number: 50100718590503
IFSC Code: HDFC0001811
Bank Linked Number: 7387426446
UPI ID: 7387426446@pthdfc
QR Code: attached below. 

Please pray for my recovery. And please, for your own sake and for the sake of your loved ones, drive safely. My life has been turned upside down, and I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
