WordsMaya

WordsMaya is an EdTech startup on a mission to empower college students and professionals with professional communication skills to make them employable and more effective at their jobs. WordsMaya works for employee learning and development for corporates as well as employability training for institutes with an online blended (app+trainer) model.

It all started with inspiration fueled by the passion to help students and professionals in their careers. With a team of interns in one-room office, we built the first version of WordsMaya and taught students 'English on WhatsApp'. The idea took off quickly, built an app with chat-interface with video content and a team of trainers to take practice sessions. Well before the pandemic, the idea of online learning was not main stream, so it look time to get acceptance. The patience and perseverance of I and my partner, Sandeep paid off when we got acceptance from AICTE, Pune University, colleges across India and corporates. The funding from IIM Calcutta innovation Park and angel investors fueled the product development and growth. So far, we have empowered 14000 learners with our full courses and have reached 50000 learners through various other initiatives. We have many awards including ‘Smart 50 Solutions to Transform India' and has been featured on national media several times.

Tata Research Development and Design Centre (TRDDC)

My very first job and I just loved it. I got the freedom to work on my ideas and also an inspiring company of innovators and accomplished scientists. I was the first person with only a bachelor's degree to get onboarded in my department with all IITians and PhDs.
I worked extensively on energy reduction techniques for industrial processes. I successfully helped a multi-disciplinary team progress through the full innovation cycle: ideation-development-IP creation-commercialization. I have filed several Indian and US patent applications and have number of international research publications to my credit. The best moments for me were the opportunity to pilot my patented idea for a large telecom company in the UK and presentation at a conference in Silicon Valley in front of top scientists and industry practitioners.

Scientist

Are you a spectator or a player?
Spectators wait for interview calls, competing with thousands. Players make things happen. 
They stand out, create opportunities, and market themselves like champions.

Which one are you?
Are you ready to remain stagnant and underpaid? Or are you ready to take control of your career and move forward with purpose?

I’m here to help. Say "hi" to me on LinkedIn, and let’s get to work.

About me:

I’m a scientist-turned-entrepreneur, now a career coach. My journey includes leading a startup that impacted 14,000 lives, speaking on major stages like NITI AYOG and NDTV, and learning hard lessons from closing my business after six years.

I’ve designed my own path—from engineering problem-solver to scientist, to EdTech entrepreneur. I’ve been awarded and featured on media, but what defines me is my resilience and refusal to settle.

As a career coach, I help mid-career professionals transform from job seekers to value creators. I don’t hand out jobs—I coach you to earn your dream role by becoming an entrepreneurial employee. Having seen both sides of the employer-employee relationship, I know how to make you stand out and attract the right opportunities.

Job seekers chase. Value givers attract.

If you’re ready to stop chasing and start leading your career, I’m ready to help. My Champions Job Search Gameplan has helped many professionals take control of their futures.

If my journey resonates with you, follow me on LinkedIn. Let’s engage and grow together.

Are you ready to make it happen?
Let’s get started.

From 3 people in a Zoom room… to 1000 professionals leading their own careers.


When I started this community, I didn’t have a big team or a perfect plan.
Just a belief that professionals deserve better than being stuck in the broken corporate system.

When I hosted my very first session, just 3 people showed up.
Today, we’re 1000 Champions strong.
This milestone isn’t about numbers. It’s about the movement.
A movement of professionals who refused to stay small.
1000 people who stopped chasing certificates and started building clarity.
Who stopped waiting for recruiters, and started leading their own careers.
Who challenged the broken corporate system and chose clarity, courage, and career ownership instead.

Each Champion here has proven something powerful that career success isn’t luck, it’s leadership.
This 1000 isn’t a vanity metric. It’s a reminder that change starts one person at a time until it becomes a revolution.

To every Champion who showed up, helped others, shared wins, and believed in yourself, thank you. 🙏 You made this happen.

1000 is just the beginning.
We’re building a tribe of Career CEOs, professionals who lead India to the global stage with skill, strategy, and self-belief.

Most professionals don’t need a new job. They need this.


From hitting every milestone to wondering, "Is this really it?"
That was me.
I had the stable job. The good salary. Even my own startup that showed real promise.
And yet, I felt lost.
Not because I wasn’t capable, but because I wasn’t connected to what I was building anymore.
I’d done everything right.
But my career didn’t feel like mine.
Every day felt like I was managing outcomes, not leading my life.
Then came the turning point, the question that changed everything:
👉 What if my goal isn’t a better job, but a better rhythm?
So I rebuilt. Slowly.
Step 1: Took back ownership
Stopped chasing random opportunities and started designing intentional moves.
Step 2: Redefined ambition
Not as constant hustle, but harmony between impact, growth, and peace.
Step 3: Treated my career like a company
Clear positioning. Confident pitching. Visible leadership.
The result:
✅ 3x faster career transitions for my clients
✅ Leadership roles aligned with their values
✅ Renewed clarity and calm, no desperation, just direction
When you stop outsourcing your confidence to job boards or bosses, you stop being replaceable.
You start leading like a Career CEO.
Ready to take your power back?
📩 DM CAREER CEO and I’ll send you the exact roadmap to lead your career with clarity, control, and calm.
Because you don’t just need a new job.
You need to come home to yourself.
