Building founder-led brands that attract the right clients and inbound sales.

Most founders have a great business
but a weak personal brand.

Their message is unclear.
Their audience doesn’t know what they stand for.

And when people don’t know you, they don’t trust you.
And when they don’t trust you, they don’t buy from you.

Today, visibility is a growth multiplier.
People follow founders, not logos.

A founder without a visible voice loses attention, trust, and deals to someone louder — not someone better.

Your story, your POV, your values, your process — these are your competitive advantages.
But if they’re not communicated clearly and consistently, your ideal clients never see them.

This leads to:

• Slower sales cycles
• Weak differentiation
• Unqualified inbound
• Missed opportunities you should be winning

You don’t need more content.
You need clarity, consistency, and a system that turns your expertise into trust — automatically.

I help founders build high-trust personal brands on LinkedIn using a done-for-you system that turns their voice, insights, and experience into weekly content that drives inbound business.

I did it myself from zero in 2 years:

• 0 → 60,000 followers
• 6-figure inbound revenue
• Speaking gigs, top podcasts, global brand partnerships

Hand helped 100+ people do the same.

With a system that compounds.

How working together looks like:

1) Clear, premium positioning

A simple niche, a sharp promise, and a founder POV that makes you the obvious choice.

2) A done-for-you content engine

You show up 45 minutes/week.
We turn your insights into strategic content that builds demand.

3) Authority that compounds weekly

Your insights, wins, and story → credibility, trust, and better clients.

You go from--

“A great business no one sees” → “A trusted founder whose content attracts the right buyers.”

Learning LinkedIn as a super skill | Sophomore at Northeastern University

I’m a 21-year-old entrepreneur building an AI-powered startup to fix what we are not taught.

As a student, I saw a recurring gap — students had potential, but lacked the tools, confidence, and systems to convert it into careers. So I launched Degree2Destiny to bridge the space between education and employment, blending AI with mentorship and real-world skills.

In just 8 months of full-time operations, we've impacted 3000+ students through our CAN model (Communication, AI, Networking). I’ve spoken at the Grace Hopper Celebration, mentored 30+ peers as a  teaching assistant and built workshop programs now run across India and the U.S.

My next milestone? Scale D2D to impact 1 million students, become revenue-positive by year one post-grad, and launch our digital platform to help every student build their career with AI, not just a degree.

If you care about the future of education, youth empowerment, or want to collaborate on bold ideas — I’d love to connect. Let’s reimagine what student success can look like.

i sent 50 "can i pick your brain?" messages on linkedin.
got 3 replies. all "i'm busy right now."

old approach:
"hi! i'd love to learn about your career journey."

new approach:
"saw your post on [topic] and it sparked a thought. i’ve been experimenting with [ai solution or insight] and here’s what i learned. sharing in case it’s useful."

no ask.
no pitch.
no pressure.
just value dropped in their inbox.

my response rate jumped from 6 percent to 47 percent.

because i stopped asking for time.
and started contributing something they could use.

the can model broke it down:
→ communication: lead with insight, not need
→ ai fluency: research before you reach out
→ networking: show what you’re building instead of asking for access
→ value: make your message helpful even if they never reply

3 of those conversations turned into mentorships.
1 became a client.

your network grows when you give people something worth responding to.
not another calendar invite.

AI Trainer helping students + colleges turn degrees into careers 🚀 | Founder @Degree2Destiny | 4,000+ students & faculty trained | Author of CANnected 📘

“You study International Business? But you work in AI!?"

I hear this so often I could put it on merch.

Here’s the real answer:
Your degree is a starting point. Your skills are the accelerator.

I didn’t study CS. I can’t code.
But I still built a career in AI because I focused on the things that actually move the needle:

1. Learn fast
 I treated AI tools like a language. Daily reps. Micro-experiments. Build → break → rebuild.

2. Solve real problems
Students didn’t need “AI theory.” They needed résumés rewritten, LinkedIn fixed, and interview prep in minutes. AI became the tool to deliver outcomes faster.

3. Communicate like a human
Most AI content is boring. I used my IB background to translate complex ideas into simple, relatable content. That’s why 4,000+ students trusted me.

4. Don’t wait for permission
If I waited for a “relevant” degree, I’d still be stuck in chapter one. I picked a lane, built proof, and let results speak.

Here’s the part people won’t say out loud:
They’re not shocked that I work in AI.
They’re shocked that I didn’t follow the script they followed.

If your degree doesn’t match your ambition, do this today:
→ Pick one problem you can solve with AI
→ Build a simple solution (demo > certificate)
→ Teach it to someone
→ Document it publicly
→ Iterate this for at least 2 months

Do this consistently and nobody will care what you studied.

They’ll only care what you can do.

Your degree is context. Your skills are currency.

What people think opportunity in India looks like:
→ English fluency
→ Metro city exposure
→ IIT/NIT pedigree
→ Perfect LinkedIn profile
→ Family connections

What 4,000 students taught me it actually is:
→ Curiosity that refuses to stay quiet
→ One laptop + patchy Wi-Fi + unstoppable hunger
→ A mentor who answers one hard question
→ The courage to send the first message
→ Knowing how to use AI better than your degree ever taught you

For a year, I have watched students from Bhubaneswar, Kanpur, Siliguri, Jaipur and dozens of “invisible” towns do what the system never expected from them.

They weren’t waiting for opportunity.
They were building it.
Inside hostels.
Inside shared rooms.
Inside cyber cafés.
Inside lives that were never designed for them to win.

And that’s when it hit me:

Talent in India isn’t top-tier.
It’s everywhere.
Opportunity isn’t democratic.
It’s uneven.

But when you give a student:
→ Communication skills
→ AI fluency
→ A chance to network beyond their pin codes

The entire map shifts.

4,000 students showed me one truth:
The future of India won’t be built by privilege.
It’ll be built by access.

And access can start anywhere, even in the smallest room, with the slowest internet, on the quietest street.

What part of “opportunity in India” have you misunderstood the most?

NotebookLM now makes infographics.

Upload your LinkedIn profile → click "Infographic" → instant visual story.
No design skills. No Canva subscription. No overthinking.

I just turned my "International Business grad teaching AI to 4,000+ students" journey into something people can actually see.

Perfect for:
- LinkedIn banners that mean something
- Intro slides that don't bore people
- Portfolio pieces for students with zero design experience

The tool I wish existed when I was explaining my accidental founder story 100 times over

master’s students ask me for career advice.
me. a 21-year-old still figuring things out.

and honestly? it feels weird.
i’m not an industry veteran. i don’t have decades of experience. half the time, i’m googling things right alongside them.

but they still reach out.
and i still show up.

because here’s the truth: they’re not asking because i have all the answers. they’re asking because mentorship is rare. the people who do have the answers are often too busy, too far removed, or too unreachable.

so i give what i can. honest advice. real talk about what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what i’m still learning.

it’s not perfect. but it’s something.
and that “something” shouldn’t have to come from someone who’s barely ahead.

here’s my ask:
if you’ve been in the industry for a while, if you’ve learned lessons the hard way, if you have 30 minutes a month to spare, please consider mentoring.

there are brilliant minds out there just looking for someone who believes in them.
someone who’ll take the call.
someone who’ll share the real story, not just the highlight reel.

the gap is real. so is the opportunity to fill it.

if you can mentor, let me know. let’s connect people who need guidance with people who can give it!

gen z would rather die than give a presentation
literally
73 percent of us fear public speaking more than death

but here’s the plot twist nobody talks about:
ai will do everything
except the one thing that actually matters
talking to humans

you can have chatgpt:
→ write your code
→ build your pitch deck
→ draft your emails

but it can’t:
→ read the room in a client meeting
→ navigate the awkward silence after you propose an idea
→ build trust with a colleague who’s about to quit

i watched a brilliant developer lose a promotion
not because his code was bad
but because he couldn’t explain why it mattered in a 5 minute standup

meanwhile, someone with half his skills but twice his communication got the role

the uncomfortable truth:
in 5 years, ai handles the work
you handle the conversation

and most of us are training for the wrong skill
we’re learning prompts
we should be learning presence

the future won’t belong to the best coders
it will belong to the best communicators who know how to use ai

You type well. You speak poorly. Fix that.

Students aren’t losing opportunities because they’re “not skilled.”
They’re losing them because they can’t communicate.

So let’s get actionable.

If you want to fix your communication, do these 7 things immediately:

1️⃣ Record yourself speaking for 60 seconds daily.
You’ll instantly spot your ums, pauses, fillers, and weak points.

2️⃣ Join one real conversation every day.
Not texting.
Not DMs.
A real conversation, with a classmate, senior, professor, anyone.

3️⃣ Explain one concept out loud like you’re teaching it.
If you can’t explain simply, you don’t really understand it.

4️⃣ Start replacing “I don’t know what to say” with questions.
Question = conversation starter.
Silence = opportunity killer.

5️⃣ Give your answers in a structure: Point → Reason → Example.
This works in every interview, GD, and networking call.

6️⃣ Practice talking without reading from your screen.
You won’t have notes in interviews.
Train for the real environment.

7️⃣ Join uncomfortable conversations.
Ask for feedback.
Talk to seniors.
Introduce yourself first.
Growth only happens in discomfort.

Because here’s the truth nobody tells you:

Communication is a skill.
Not a personality trait.
Not a talent.
A skill.

And if you don’t build it now, it will cost you:
→ Internships
→ Placements
→ Opportunities
→ Confidence

Fix it before it fixes your future for you.

Building in India? This is the only Elon Musk x Nikhil Kamath insight you need:

1. Create value, not noise
Don’t chase money. Chase usefulness. If your product solves a real problem, revenue follows. Be a net contributor. Make sure your output is worth more than your input.

2. Outwork everyone
You want to build something difficult? Expect serious hours. Serious focus. Real chance of failure. No one glamorizes this part, but every founder feels it.

3. AI is the supersonic tsunami
This decade is the biggest tech shift of our lifetime.

• Work becomes optional in 10 to 20 years
• Biggest value creation sits in AI, robotics, space
• When content becomes infinite, live experiences go premium

If you’re building around AI today, you’re still early.

4. Study widely
Don’t memorise. Think across disciplines. Arts, science, psychology, logic. More mental models equals better decisions. Also, keep humor alive. Humorless societies don’t innovate.

5. Bet on fundamentals
Ignore the noise. Back products you actually like. Back teams that are hungry, talented, obsessed with creating value.

The analogy that stuck:
Being a young founder today feels like building a house while the climate keeps shifting.

Your foundation: value creation
Your survival: work ethic
Your advantage: using AI before the rest of the world wakes up
