This startup is providing career counselling to over 12,000 students across India

Remember the time you gave your Class X board exams? Many of us were confused about which stream to choose — Science, Arts, or Commerce? But the dilemma didn’t end there. After Class XII boards, we had to decide on what course to choose, in which college, and how to get there. Most of us relied on the experience and knowledge of our teachers and parents to answer our questions, but not all of us have that privilege.

For students living in slums and coming from poor economic backgrounds, and for those who are the first generation in their family to get an education, access to expensive counselling to decide their career paths is limited. To fill this gap and to help millions of children across India who lack such resources, Aditya Bose started ProBano in 2017. To this date, Delhi-based ProBano is providing feasible counselling and has reached out to 12,000 students from 142 institutes across 11 states.
