The Founder of ThePurposePaath — whose coaching has delivered paid internships, global placements, and starting packages of Rs.12 LPA and above for freshers — is now scaling her proven Gen AI Career Accelerator Programme to reach youths across India.
India's workforce is facing a generational misalignment. Millennials and Gen Z professionals — many of them degree holders — are entering careers lost, underpaid, and directionless. They land jobs but not careers. They accept the first offer because no one taught them their worth. And they spend years recovering from a start that never had to be this hard.
The numbers confirm it. Over 51% of Indian graduates are not considered job-ready at graduation. 75% of resumes are eliminated by AI screening systems before a human ever reads them. 70% of jobs are filled through networks — a skill set no one teaches. And the average starting salary accepted under pressure sits at Rs.21,000 per month — not because the market demands it, but because young professionals simply do not know they can aim higher.
"I have spent over 20 years watching talented people undervalue themselves — and the cost is not just financial," says Ramya A. Saliyan, Founder & Senior Career Coach at ThePurposePaath. "If we do not equip young India with the right tools, awareness, and self-knowledge now, the next generation will simply inherit the same broken blueprint."
4 Years of Research. Real Outcomes. Now Ready to Scale.
Saliyyan's journey to building the Gen AI Career Accelerator Programme began not in a classroom but in the field. Over four years of deep research — working closely with interns, final-year students, and early-career professionals across industries — she identified a consistent pattern: young talent was not lacking in ability. It was lacking direction, identity, and strategy.
The results of her coaching speak for themselves. Participants have secured paid internships at reputed organisations, earned placements at global firms, and achieved starting packages of Rs.12 LPA and above as freshers — outcomes that were once considered unreachable for many of them. The difference, every time, was clarity, positioning, and preparation.
An IIM alumna, ex-investment banker, postgraduate in SHRM, and Certified Positive Psychiatry & Wellbeing Coach, Saliyyan has personally mentored 1,000+ professionals and helped unlock over Rs.200 Crore in salary value across careers spanning India, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.
A Programme Built for Gen Alpha — India's Next Workforce
Now, in collaboration with SkillFix co-founder and Learning Strategist Vinay Patil, Saliyyan is scaling this work through ThePurposePaath's Gen AI Career Accelerator Programme — a structured, outcome-led career readiness experience built on a proprietary 6P Model: Perspective, Purpose, Positioning, Presence, Pathway, and Protection.
The programme equips young professionals with ATS-optimised personal branding, LinkedIn strategy, GenAI career tools, and India's only career readiness module on statutory employment rights — so participants not only know how to compete, but know how to protect themselves.
"Gen Alpha and Gen Beta will enter a workforce where 65% of roles do not yet exist. They deserve to arrive with clarity, a real strategy, and the confidence to say no to what does not serve them. That is what this programme delivers," says Saliyyan.
Reaching Every Youth — At the Right Time
ThePurposePaath is now actively seeking the right platforms, partners, and forums to bring the Gen AI Career Accelerator Programme directly to youth audiences across India — ensuring that career clarity is no longer a privilege of the few, but accessible to every young professional at exactly the moment they need it most.
Currently based in Bengaluru, the programme is open to youth organisations, career forums, industry bodies, and engagement platforms looking to offer their audiences a genuinely transformative career experience.
