The reason behind the idea of starting this career counseling platform for students is the problem faced by Arshi herself. Yes, Arshi was clueless after her father passed away. Her father always guided her for her career path. As her father was no more to guide her, she had a talk with few friends regarding what she can choose as a career, for which course she should go. After talking with a few friends, she decided to do what most were doing, Engineering!

Business is the one word for “Solve the Problem”.

After a year, she realized that this was not what she wanted to do, and dropped out of engineering. But then she saw that this is not the problem for her only, this is a universal problem. There are many who choose the wrong career path or just don’t know what they could do. Business is the one word for “Solve the Problem”, and that’s what Arshi stared to do.
