Few of my favorite things are to wake up to a beach, collect experiences around the world, and ‘google’ just about everything that makes me curious! Born and brought up in Mumbai, where I spent 15 years in corporate world (and somehow found the time to extensively study Finance and Marketing), developed skills in human behavior and learned that actionable goals can get one almost anywhere.
Somewhere in-between chasing deadlines, pursuing new hobbies, discovering beautiful places, I underwent a ‘360-degree’ transformation. I started to question my choices to find my own answers. It was a beautiful (& scary) process of unlearning what I’d learned as a student, a professional, a friend, a daughter, a woman. I was vulnerable because I knew the new direction was leading me away from everything I was familiar and comfortable with, everything I was good at!
But if it wasn’t for that I wouldn’t have found ‘me’ or my calling – as a certified health, wellness and life coach. My love for branding and unfolding human layers met my passion to shape and transform lives – Founder of Eat.Breathe.Smile and Co-founder of 360 The Wellness Concept, the attempt is to bust several wellness myths to build powerful brands. As a full time practicing life coach and wellness coach – the endeavor is to create platform for wellness and work with entrepreneurs and individuals in India through events, journalism and focused consultancy.

Children should be taught to aspire to be successful, but success doesn't have to mean an IIT admission only!
Imagine studying for 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 whole years for the JEE exam only to find out that there’s only a very, very slim chance of getting into an IIT. It is a fact widely acknowledged that the IIT-JEE is one of the toughest exams not just in India but in the whole world. Apart from IITs, the NITs and IIITs of India also accept the JEE scores for admission. There are said to be a total of 23 IITs, 31 NITs and 25 IIITs across the country.
Now, let’s first get a few facts about the IITs right. First, according to the NIRF rankings of 2023, only 17 IITs rank in the top 50 engineering colleges of India and only a few (around 5) IITs are in the list of the world’s top 100 engineering colleges. Second, the dropout rate of IIT-qualifying students stands at least at 20%, with reasons being cited ranging from academic pressure and unmanageable workload to caste discrimination and high levels of competition within the IIT.
So, it’s quite clear that the journey of making it through IIT is as challenging as the journey of getting into an IIT. Third and most important of all, the acceptance rate or the odds of getting into an IIT are below 3% which is a lot lower than the acceptance rate of highly and very highly ranked US universities. Four, getting into an IIT of one’s choice doesn’t mean one will also get into a branch of one’s preference at that IIT.
