About the Series
Career Adda
Most students in India hear about the same five careers. The coaching pipeline narrows options early, and by the time they’re in middle school, many kids already believe their future is a choice between engineering and medicine.
The reality is far more interesting. The world is full of people who built fulfilling, successful careers by following their curiosity. Through unexpected turns, unusual choices, and paths that made sense only in hindsight.
An adda is the long, unhurried conversation with no agenda except that it is interesting — the kind you overhear and don’t want to leave. That is what these sessions are. Each time, we sit down with someone who has built a career worth talking about, ask them how it actually happened, and then hand the microphone to the students. Honest, personal, and designed to help students aged 10–16 and their parents think bigger about what’s possible.

What Students Said After a Recent Session
Session #3 — a quantum physicist — drew 310 registrations and 139 students and parents into the room. Half an hour past the advertised finish, 65 of them were still there. Here is what they told us on the way out.
“I learnt what it’s like being a scientist, and I had a very insightful experience as Sindhu Ma’am helped us understand something as vague and advanced as quantum science in a very clear way.”
— Shreya, student, age 14–15
“The multiple people required to succeed one experiment — theorists, engineers, and the role that designers play in quantum physics, not to mention the experimentalists.”
— Student, age 12–13
“That an atom can be cooled with a laser by shooting it straight at it, similar to throwing many tennis balls at a truck — and how two parties can securely communicate using entanglement.”
— Sabilla, student, age 12–13
“That everything you see around you actually has many other small parts which you cannot see.”
— Krishaana, student, age 12–13
