We got in touch with Vidhya maam at the right time. We were exploring career options for our elder daughter after her X grade. Ever since that time Vidhya maam has been the career coach for both our kids. One thing I noticed is that kids are more convinced about the career options because maam approaches them with lots of facts and data and above all conviction. We have benefitted a lot from our engagement with Vidhya maam. Another point to mention…especially when we could really see the difference is in my younger ones case we were very undecided on which stream to choose after the kid finished X grade. Vidhya maam quickly looked back into her notes and recollected some points about the kid that she had noted in a different context in the past. Using these points she could engage with the kid and guide her well. Thank you maam for your guidance.

I & my spouse, Dinesh Soni, would like to express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the incredible guidance and support Dr. Vidya has given to our son throughout his academic and career journey. In the growing years of our son, Vidya - as teacher, and later during important milestones of his career journey, Vidya - as a mentor & counsellor, she has always encouraged him to believe in himself and strive for his best. Her understanding of his personality, strengths, and aspirations allowed her to guide him with genuine care and honesty. What makes her guidance truly special is the warmth, affection & patience with which she has always supported him in every situation - whether it was helping him navigate difficult choices, motivating him during uncertain times, or simply being there with thoughtful advice ! She understands the pulse of the current generation and hence our son and his friends are able to connect with her so well. In fact they are more close to her than us. And following the path of our elder son, our younger one is also looking up to Dr. Vidya for his career advice. We know Dr. Vidya personally - She is not just a great teacher and counsellor, she is a wonderful human being too. She is a perfect blend of knowledge, practicality, spirituality, yet so humble and grounded. We take pride in knowing Dr. Vidya closely and the above few words are just not enough to express the magnitude of impact she has had in our lives. Wishing her the best always !

Dr Vidhya is amazingly patient and highly knowledgeable. She can get inside the minds of GenZs and Millennials with ease, which is one of the most challenging part. With her guidance and mentoring capabilities, she has helped so many who needed to get a focus on their careers and life. Hats off Dr Vidhya. Highly appreciate you for everything you have done and continue to do !
