I retired from my service in November, 2022 and started another venture, a not-for-profit Center for "Career and Life Design Counselling". Career and life design counselling is a process that helps individuals create a life they love. Through career and life design counselling, individuals can explore their passions, identify their strengths, and set goals that will help them live a life that is fulfilling and meaningful. Career and life design counselling can help individuals find their purpose in life and create a roadmap to get there. Life-design counselling encourages the counselee to make sense of their lives by articulating purpose, forming intentions, and making a commitment to self. Of course, career decisions are made, yet the real outcome is a sense of purpose that informs the numerous choices that will compose a career.
Center for Career and Life Design Counselling has been founded in Kolkata with a mission to assist and empower individual, across all ages and socioeconomic background, to explore life and livelihood opportunities in order to build a well-lived, joyful life. Given my diverse experiences across academia and industry, with various subject areas, and also varied life-experiences across different countries encompassing Europe, Asia and the US, I feel that I am well-placed to help individuals to discover life-options and career opportunities across a wide range of disciplines and occupational trajectories.
