Nowadays, choosing an appropriate career has become a necessity in life. The growing competition is motivating people to make decisions that are related to their livelihood in a much optimistic and practical manner. There is a lot of qualified and skilled potential in our country that needs guidance in terms of proper career choice and steps to achieve the topmost position in whatever field they are working or are willing to work. Hence, there is a demand for excellent career counselors and agencies that can facilitate services that are more inclined towards seekers of employment opportunities. Following a similar notion, there is an organization striving to provide exceptional career guidance and related services in a dynamic way.
As per ancient Hindu Mythology, Lord Krishna played the role of a ‘Saarthi’ (Charioteer) – a master strategist, a guide and a mentor for Arjuna. This led to the eventual epic victory of the Pandavas in the battle of Mahabharata. “A career is like a chariot in a student’s life and we would like to play a similar role as a Saarthi in his/her quest for success,” says the team of Career Saarthi. The company provides a one-stop career-oriented solution to students and parents right at their doorstep across India and the world.
A Seasoned Professional
Career Saarthi was founded in the year 2017- 18 by Anjali Saraogi, Founder of the company. She is a Certified Career Analyst™ and a Certified Global Career Counsellor from the University of California, UCLA Extension. She is a member of the Asia Pacific Career Development Association (APCDA) & National Career Services (NCS). She has delivered several career counseling workshops in prestigious schools like Billabong High International School, Bombay Cambridge International School, and Lilavatibai Poddar High School.

She has extensive experience across various verticals having worked for a range of corporate firms during her career from HDFC Bank, and Saregama India to Career Launcher. “We at Career Saarthi aspire to be a mentor, guiding our students to their dream career,” says Anjali. The need for career counseling can be best expressed from her own experience. “I was always interested in History and English but coming from a family of Engineers, Science and Medicine were the only rewarding career options on the table. I realized my true calling through trial and error and lost a few valuable years in this process. I would never want any child to go through the same experience ever,” explains Anjali.
