Vikram Anand

★ Transformed 25,000+ mid and senior professionals from invisible job seekers to irresistible candidates through my proven career acceleration system, with many achieving 30-145% salary increases even after layoffs or career gaps.

★ My clients don't just find jobs - they get recruited by industry leaders including Deutsche Bank, L'Oreal, Tata Group, 3M, HP, Citibank, and Accenture across India, Canada, and the Middle East, often bypassing traditional application processes entirely.

★ Trusted by India's premier institutions: Hand-picked to coach 2,000+ professionals at Indian School of Business (Hyderabad) and Upgrad, where my systematic approach to networking and career positioning consistently delivers results that traditional career advice cannot.

Career Coach

★ Created India's most comprehensive career acceleration platform, where corporate professionals master proven job search strategies that traditional career advice completely misses - focusing on relationship-building over resume-sending.

★ Conducted exclusive insider interviews with 20 HR Directors from India's top companies, uncovering the hidden hiring patterns and decision-making processes that 95% of job seekers never understand - intelligence that gives my clients unfair advantages.

★ Strategic partnerships with industry giants: Officially partnered with the Government of India's National Career Service, Naukri and Monster to deliver career coaching at scale, validating my methodologies at the highest institutional levels.

Marketing Consultant

Cargill Foods India

★ Transformed how India sees Cargill: While most knew Cargill as a B2B commodity giant, I positioned it as a consumer powerhouse through strategic brand building for Leonardo, NatureFresh, and Gemini - proving that perception is everything in both business and careers.

★ Launched NatureFresh Shakti Palmolein in Orissa by identifying an untapped market opportunity and crafting a compelling vitamin-enriched positioning that resonated with health-conscious consumers - the same strategic thinking I bring to positioning professionals for career success.

★ Led one of India's largest corporate rebranding initiatives during ICI Paints' transition to AkzoNobel, successfully introducing the global brand while preserving Dulux's market equity - proving that strategic positioning can transform how entire organizations are perceived, just like I help individuals rebrand their careers.

★ Built and managed a high-performing team of marketing professionals, developing the people leadership and stakeholder management skills that taught me how to influence without authority - the same relationship-building expertise I now teach clients to use with hiring managers and industry leaders.

General Manager - Marketing

Max New York Life Insurance Co. Ltd.

★ Revolutionized how India perceives life insurance by transforming a traditionally taboo financial topic into an engaging, trust-building conversation - the same reframing expertise I use to help professionals transform from overlooked candidates into sought-after talent.

★ Launched Max New York Life's India entry strategy and orchestrated the game-changing partnership with cricket legend Rahul Dravid, positioning the brand as "the wall of trust" - a campaign that propelled us to become India's 4th most admired private life insurance company by 2007 through strategic celebrity endorsement and authentic brand positioning.

★ Engineered high-converting direct marketing systems that enabled insurance advisors to generate qualified leads faster and more efficiently - experience that taught me how to create systematic approaches to relationship building, which I now apply to help professionals systematically build networks that generate career opportunities.

Vice President  - Marketing

Nokia India Limited

★ Part of Nokia's legendary founding team in India - an experience that remains vivid 20 years later because we achieved what seemed impossible: transforming an unknown Finnish brand into India's #1 status symbol and market leader in mobile handsets within just a few years.

★ Built a category-defining brand from ground zero by establishing consumer trust, creating aspirational positioning, and executing flawless market entry strategies that made Nokia synonymous with mobile excellence - proving that with the right positioning and relationship building, even unknown entities can dominate established markets.

★ Pioneered Nokia's retail revolution by establishing the first 20 Nokia Priority Dealers and creating the scalable rollout framework that expanded nationwide - experience that taught me how to build systematic, replicable processes for market penetration, skills I now apply to help professionals systematically penetrate their target job markets.

Field Marketing Manager

Unilever India

★ Orchestrated David vs. Goliath brand warfare by developing breakthrough product, marketing, and advertising strategies to re-launch Savlon against the entrenched market leader Dettol - experience that taught me how underdogs can win through superior positioning and strategic thinking.

★ Delivered extraordinary turnaround results: 14% market share against Dettol within just two years, setting the foundation for aggressive category expansion into soaps, first-aid kits, and antiseptic wipes - proving that the right strategy can transform any underdog into a serious competitor.

Brand Manager

Lowe Lintas

★ Launched my career among advertising legends at Lintas, learning from some of India's finest creative minds and witnessing firsthand how world-class communication transforms brands - foundational training in persuasion and messaging that now helps professionals craft compelling career narratives.

★ Pioneered category-defining automotive launches with TATA Motors, helping introduce the groundbreaking Tata Estate and Tata Sierra SUVs to Indian consumers years before these vehicle categories became mainstream - experience that taught me how to position innovative solutions in markets not yet ready for them, skills I now use to help professionals position themselves ahead of industry trends.

Client Servicing Executive

If you're sending 100+ job applications and getting zero interview calls, the problem isn't your qualifications - it's your strategy. 🔥

Most professionals in India are stuck in the "application trap" - endlessly applying online while the best opportunities are filled through relationships you haven't built yet. I've watched 25,000+ working professionals transform from invisible job seekers to irresistible candidates using a proven system that has nothing to do with sending more applications.

Here's what I know about your frustration:

You're qualified. You're experienced. You deserve better opportunities. But you're competing with 3,000+ applicants for every job posting while 90% of the best roles never get posted online. You're playing a rigged game where HR systems filter you out before any human sees your potential. 

Meanwhile, your family is watching, your confidence is dropping, and you're starting to wonder if something's fundamentally wrong with you.

There isn't. You just need the right system.

I help ambitious professionals like you get found by decision makers instead of chasing job postings. 

Through my proven N.E.E.T. methodology (Network, Engage, Excite, Transact), I've helped professionals across every industry - from software engineers in Bangalore to finance directors in Mumbai - land roles with 30-80% salary increases. Not by applying to more jobs, but by becoming the person companies actively recruit.

My clients don't compete with thousands of applicants because they're having conversations with hiring managers before positions are even posted. They don't negotiate from desperation because they have multiple offers to choose from. They don't explain employment gaps because they're positioned as solutions to business problems, not problems to be solved.

Whether you're currently employed but stuck, recently laid off, or returning from a career break - the system works because it's based on how hiring actually happens in India, not how we're told it happens.

After 33 years in corporate India with companies like Unilever, Nokia, and Cargill, and 11 years coaching professionals through career transformations, I've seen what separates those who get hired quickly from those who struggle for months. 

It's not about being the most qualified. It's about being known, liked, and trusted by the people who make hiring decisions.
