About Kavita
Have you ever been told that your dream job or career move was out of reach? I’ve been there! Throughout my career, I’ve navigated unconventional paths (transitioning from non-profit to for-profit) and broken through closed doors (entering BCG and Dalberg outside of traditional recruiting cycles). With the right support and strategy, I've proven that “unlikely” doesn’t mean impossible, and now I want to help others prove that the impossible is possible.
