Nitish Kashyap – Founder, CEO of Number Leader


I am NitishKashyap. By qualification, I’m a CMA(US) and hold a Master in Commerce. I started my career in audit and taxation and later moved on to work as part of a Fortune 500 company. I was in the Finance and Accounts Team, handling Controllership activities, and gradually grew to the Financial Planning and Analysis team, handling budgets, performance management, and helping the management with the decision-making process. While I was part of a Multi-National Company, one thing that I missed was the thrill of seeing the impact of my work bear fruit. This is when I joined a midsize consulting firm as a Solutions Architect, where I was solely responsible for identifying problems, coming up with solutions to business problems, and going on to execute them with the help of large, diverse teams with many professionals. In this process, I have worked with clients across the globe in various sectors. During this time, I saw various problems in the industry, and an idea struck me while I was quarantined for 15 days during the pandemic. So, since 2020, I have been running my own startup called Manartha Solutions Private Limited. We are into management consulting activities assisting startups and MSME’s and we also assist finance and management students in the industry readiness space, with skill sets and professional qualifications. Since the past 2 years, we have imparted training in the fields of finance and management to students across the globe. We are currently developing our platform, Number Leader, which will be available soon. In the meantime, you can check out fun and interesting content on Number Leader's Instagram handle and Youtube channel to get a taste of what we do.



Manartha Solutions Private Limited and its services


Manartha Solutions Private Limited is a management consulting company aimed at providing solutions to complex business problems. Problems we solve for our clientele range across support functions of a business like Finance, Management, and Human Resources. Since the pandemic, one of the major problem areas we identified for our clientele was that of industry readiness. This is where we started creating courses and imparting training, coaching, and mentoring to students to get them job-ready. In the process, we bridge the gap between academia and the industry. For the past 2 years, we have been operating in the B2B space, our B2C verticals will launch in 2023.



What was the inspiration for choosing this career?


I personally don’t want to fit into a stereotypical box and be called a "Finance Analyst" or any one thing. I’m an explorer with diverse skill sets, and I take pride in my work. Plus, I enjoy flexibility of both time and money. All this, combined with a hunger to create an impact and help my fellow students’ careers, led me to this career path. We are solving problems we encountered during our formative years.

  4. Set up operations, processes, functions, departments, hired people, acquired clients, and much more for the midsize company I was working for.

Collaboration, Support, and Success Story


Here, I need to be grateful to my alma mater, the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA), the Miles team, North Star Academy, the Wiley team, the TCS team, many other startups, students, and every other team we’ve collaborated with and worked with in the past 2 years. Due to the constant support, trust, and encouragement from all of them, we’ve done well for ourselves. I also need to thank our mentors and advisors, Mrs. Sujatha Krishnasamy, Mr. Krishnan Rangaraju, and Mr. Pramod Balakuntala.

Our biggest challenge has been the constraints we have set in our own minds. Thankfully, resources are abundant. With time, we will break the barriers of constraints and shine. Follow us to be part of our community and growth journey.



Successful Career as a Coach


The key difference between a trainer, a coach, and a mentor is that a trainer teaches "How To?" skills, while a coach educates "Where?" the taught skills can be applied, and a mentor enlightens as to "Why?" something needs to be done in the first place. Being a career coach has to be based on first-principles thinking and have diverse industry exposure. One who has that must then adapt his methods to academia, obtain acceptance from universities, and then empathise with students while breaking down complex business challenges into simple, achievable processes based on timely capsules of skill sets and learning.



Professional training to kick-start your career 


We just don’t want to sell you a course, we want to handhold you in your entire journey, from identifying your interests and forming your career path to choosing the right journey, including providing courses, getting you freelancing and internship opportunities, providing you mentors from the industry, getting you hired, and post-hire support with necessary upskilling and qualification. During the assessment phase, if we realise that you’re setting out to become an entrepreneur, we provide you with an entire ecosystem for micro-entrepreneurship or setting up your start-up.
