A journey which started 4 years ago with a vision of helping and serving the next generation of youth with the most relevant, up-to-date information on various subject matters pertaining to study abroad, start-up, career paths and enable them to succeed in their chosen path. On this journey we were able to create an impact and touch the lives of 1000s of students, aspiring entrepreneurs, worked with clients across the globe in turning their dreams into a reality. The accomplishments of these past 4 years in spite of the pandemic and other challenges we had to face, brings us more comfort as a team.

There are people who have been a part of our journey since a long time and they know our story as their own. For someone who is new or reading our blog post for the first time, these links to our first part - https://www.pathfindernri.com/post/why-i-quit-my-6-figure-salary-job-in-us and second part - https://www.pathfindernri.com/post/my-story-the-100th-blog will help to get a peek into our founder's journey of starting this company PathfinderNRI. Success and failures are an integral part of any individual's journey in life and we are no different. The first-wave and second-wave of the pandemic had a fair share of impact on our business operations and how we approach our clients, serve them efficiently.

The third part of our story has to do with how we approached our business, served clients, post the second-wave of the pandemic. Unlike the slow recovery post the first-wave, what we observed was that our target audience, businesses were much more open to interact and sign up for our services. The Work From Home phenomenon was a blessing in disguise, as we adapted a model which prioritized the qualitative delivery of work. The flexibility to work at the comfort of home, co-ordinate meetings with clients abroad over the extended periods or during weekends helped our team to manage both professional and personal commitments in a very organized manner.

As part of our study abroad services, we are a group of 10 people who co-ordinate internally on a regular basis to perform various operations. We work with more than 70 trainers across the globe who can train students in exams like GRE, GMAT, IELTS, SAT, TOEFL, PTE, SELT, etc. Our clients in this vertical come up with a unique set of requirements and are from various parts of the globe. US, Canada, UK, Qatar, Saudi, Australia, Germany, etc. are a few countries where our clients are located primarily apart from various parts of India. We continue to grow strong in this space and look forward to double our target numbers again in the next admissions cycle and calendar year.

The Start-up services and IT segment has seen a lot of changes in these past 4 years of our operations. We have seen the rise and fall of demand in this space during COVID times. We work mainly with external contractors, vendors who source valuable resources for our projects and work on a contract basis regularly. We have been fortunate to have worked with some of the best talents in this industry to deliver high quality work to our clients globally. This is indeed an exciting phase as there is an economic slowdown globally due to supply chain and energy crisis caused due to war and other key factors. But we have a sizeable number of projects and clients in our pipeline. We look forward to grow in this vertical and are positive of the outcomes in the next calendar year.

Many of the aspiring students, business enthusiasts, job aspirants, who reach out to us are excited to find a solution through our services. We have been able to assist many of those by becoming a pillar of support in their careers, growth trajectory and a huge part of their success stories. There have been times when we turned down some of those requests and were still able to guide some without our direct intervention. Many people have found and reached out to us through our blog posts on several platforms over the past few years. We are grateful for all their love and support. If you have made it this far, you might have found this story interesting or useful in some way. For that reason we are sharing one of our most read popular blog posts here - https://www.pathfindernri.com/post/sailing-on-two-boats.

All good things have to come to an end ? NO, but for new beginnings to happen it is essential to end certain things. We, as part of a new strategy for our business growth and expansion, will no longer be continuing our weekly blog post publishing on our website. Thanks to everyone who read our blog posts, got inspired and supported us with our work through all these years. We will be back in a new form soon and shall engage with our past and prospective groups of global audience on broader platforms.
