Dr. Kartik Agnihotri — Professional Resume

Founder, EduRecru India

Summary

Most career problems don't begin after graduation — they begin when students choose a path without understanding where it leads. I've seen that gap from hospital pharmacy, pharma manufacturing and marketing, and the university classroom. That's why I built EduRecru India: career mapping, ATS-focused CVs, mock interviews and talent-pipeline support that help graduates get ready for the way employers actually recruit.
