Sumita wholeheartedly believes in the Japanese concept of ‘Ikigai’ -
something that gives a person their purpose and reason to live. There cannot be a more
rewarding career if your Ikigai translates into your career. For Sumita, career
counselling is her Ikigai and by channelling her professional expertise she wants to
help students find theirs.
Sumita is a Mumbaikar with a diverse working experience, spanning
over two
decades in Finance, Advertising and Events. She has spent her career navigating the
financial world: from working at The National Stock Exchange to understanding the
nuances of investments and taxation. In advertising her sphere, included building
brands of companies in the Education, Sports and Hospitality industries. She has
also founded her own start-up, Maya Global Events, which is involved in preserving
and promoting performing arts. Her work experience in such a diverse environment
has given her an excellent insight into the future of employment in both the
corporate and non-corporate worlds.
Sumita has witnessed the changing workplace dynamics in the
business world in the
last decade. She understands that to have a successful, long-term career, apart from
knowledge and degrees one needs focus, passion and perseverance. While helping
her own son and his friends to choose a career, she became aware of the struggle and
confusion every student faces during this process. This is what drove her to pursue
career counselling.
Since being certified as a career counsellor, Sumita has mentored
students who have
gone on to study in creative fields like Jewellery Designing at the IIGJ, Mumbai, 3D
