Meet the Founder
The person behind ConnectAid
From confusion to clarity — and then back to help others find theirs
Tanvi Mittal didn't set out to build a career platform. She set out to find answers to questions no one around her seemed to be asking: What do I actually want from my career? Am I building something meaningful, or just checking boxes?
After graduating and landing a corporate role most people around her envied, Tanvi found herself deeply unfulfilled. She had done everything "right" — the degree, the job, the designation — and yet something felt fundamentally off. She started asking harder questions about purpose, direction, and what a career that truly fit her might look like.
The gap nobody was filling
As Tanvi navigated her own career pivot, she noticed a pattern. The people around her — friends, former classmates, colleagues — were all struggling with the same things. Career clarity. Interview confidence. Not knowing how to position themselves. And the help that existed was either too expensive (₹50,000+ programs) or too generic (free YouTube content that felt made for someone else).
She started informal 1:1 conversations. Friends referred friends. Within months, she had informally guided dozens of people through career decisions — from job switches to MBA applications. That informal help had a name now: ConnectAid.
Why ConnectAid, why now
India is home to millions of ambitious professionals who deserve better career infrastructure. Tanvi built ConnectAid to be exactly the kind of mentor she wished she'd had — specific, honest, affordable, and genuinely invested in outcomes.
Today, ConnectAid runs workshops, fellowships, and 1:1 coaching programs across career clarity, AI upskilling, and MBA admissions. Every program is built on a single belief: a great career isn't a matter of luck. It's a matter of the right support, at the right time.
