Professionals in Niche Indian Careers - Honest Career Insights

Built a free career guidance platform for Indian students because paid consultants are genuinely a scam this might be a slightly rant-y post but also an actual thing we made so bear with me the career guidance industry in india is set up in a way that's almost designed to give bad advice. paid counsellors get commission from colleges so they push you toward whoever pays them more. school teachers have two options in their head. youtube channels start strong and die in 6 months. and the actual useful question, which is whether a specific career is right for a specific person, nobody is answering it honestly. i know this from personal experience and from talking to a lot of people in the 17 to 20 age range who made big decisions with basically no real information. so me and a few friends built whatnow. free, no courses, no paid tiers, no affiliate relationships with colleges. just honest guides on careers that students actually want to know about but can't find good information on. merchant navy, urban planning, game design, forensic science, allied health careers, nda, uceed, nift, clat. the ones where the information gap is the biggest. every career we cover, we lead with is this right for you before we talk about how to get there. that's the part that's missing everywhere else. we're a small team, proper website is being built, all visuals are made by hand by an actual designer (not ai generated), and we're about to go live with the first content. if you know anyone between class 9 and 12 who is trying to figure out what to do with their life, this is what we're building for them. and if you work in a career that most people in india don't understand well and you'd be open to an honest conversation about what it's actually like, we'd love to hear from you. that's the content we need most right now.
