My Story
Why helping Students and young professionals is important to me
Growing up in India, I found myself navigating a maze of possibilities, unsure of which path to take, what to study, or whom to approach. Like many others, I initially followed the crowd, and ended up choosing paths that made others happy, but not me.
However, unlike many others, I was lucky to have access to ‘big buddies’ in my life, experienced ‘didis’ and ‘bhaiyas’ who shared their experiences, guided me and helped me build self confidence and helped me chart my own course.
Today, I have lived and worked in USA, India, Portugal and Switzerland and have built a career in technology, consulting and sales. I have realized the transformative power of having a mentor – a ‘big buddy’ – who can guide, inspire and encourage me to explore, learn and grow.
And now, driven by gratitude and a desire to give back, I aim to leverage my network and experiences to support students. My mission is to offer the mentorship I was fortunate to receive, helping students navigate their journeys with confidence, curiosity, and a sense of direction.

To help guide and support students and young professionals by being their 'Big Buddy', with the vision to eventually help thousands through mentorship and connections to other industry experts

Testimonials
Mobile Engineer, Hong Kong
Throughout my academic and professional journey, Vishesh (bhaiya) has been an unwavering pillar of support and guidance. His mentorship was not just about giving advice; it was a comprehensive approach that helped shape my decision-making process, from selecting the right stream in high school to navigating the complexities of college applications and career choices. What made his mentorship unique was his ability to listen and understand my aspirations, then tailor his guidance to align with my goals. He didn’t just provide answers on a plate - he taught me how to evaluate options and make informed decisions. His insights were always thoughtful, grounded in real-world experience, and delivered with a genuine desire to see me succeed. His mentorship has been a transformative force in my life, equipping me with the confidence and skills to pursue my ambitions. I am thrilled to hear that he is extending this gift of guidance to others like me, and I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone seeking a mentor who truly cares about their personal and professional growth.
B.E. Final Year Student, Mumbai
Throughout my life Vishesh Goyal has been more than just a big buddy; he's been a guiding light, a mentor, and a constant source of support. His presence has been instrumental in shaping who I am today. From my earliest memories, Vishesh has always believed in me, even when I doubted myself. He encouraged me to chase my dreams, no matter how big or small. This unwavering faith instilled in me the confidence to take on challenges and push myself beyond my perceived limits. Those four years of engineering were particularly demanding. The pressure, the workload, the constant exams – it could have been a very isolating experience. But Vishesh was always there for me. He patiently answered my questions, no matter how trivial they seemed. He broke down complex concepts into manageable pieces, celebrated every success with genuine enthusiasm, and most importantly, picked me up when I stumbled. His influence extended beyond just academics. He instilled in me valuable life lessons that will forever guide me. He taught me the power of resilience, the importance of a positive attitude, and the joy of lifelong learning. These invaluable lessons have become my compass, helping me navigate life's complexities. Thank you, Vishesh, for being the rock in my life. You are, and will forever be, my guiding light.
Business Analyst Graduate, Toronto
Vishesh has recently been helping me a lot to navigate through the complexity of finding a job here in Canada. I initially struggled a lot in crafting a strong CV and landing interviews. He has provided extensive feedback and support and explained how I can better showcase my strengths to companies and recruiters. He's shared structured methods in how I can better answer interview questions and given me advice on which kinds of jobs would be a good fit for me. Vishesh's approach is very tailored to me and to my personal situation. He always starts by asking me questions to better understand my likes and interests and then helps me reach conclusions in my own way. This self introspection method of coming to an answer is helping me a lot and I am confident I will land a great job very soon.

Vishesh bhaiya, I write it like that because he's practically my brother. He's been guiding and teaching me new things since before I can remember, and that's what is my favourite thing when I hang out with him. From travelling to working he's my go to guy. Any problem I have I talk to him, and he's just so good at letting me find my way through. He's the life of the party with a level head always. Cheers to the future adventures we have ahead of us!
