93% of Indian schools have zero career counselling. You're being asked to make one of the most consequential decisions of your life — with almost no real information about what those paths actually look like from the inside. Lumire connects you with people who have already walked the path you're considering.
Class 11 stream selection. Board exam pressure. Everyone around you has an opinion. Nobody around you has actually worked in the field you're considering. Lumire changes that.
"I chose science because everyone said it keeps options open. Three years later I realised I'd made the decision for everyone except myself."
The situation Lumire was built to prevent
Stream Confusion
Science vs Commerce vs Arts — what each one actually leads to, from someone who chose.
Career Direction
What does a day in that career actually look like? What does it pay? Is it right for you?
Study Abroad
Is international education worth it for your goals? Which country, which course, at what cost?
Questions your Lumire expert will answer
Placement season is coming. Your friends seem to know what they want. You're not sure. That uncertainty is more common than anyone admits — and it's exactly what a Lumire expert is built to resolve.
A Lumire Transformation
PRIYA, 22 · BMS GRADUATE
Three months before placement season. No idea whether to go into marketing, consulting, or pursue an MBA. Every senior she asked gave conflicting advice. Her Lumire expert had made the exact transition she was considering — BMS graduate into a top consulting firm. Two sessions. A clear direction. Placed at her first choice company.
→ Placed at top management consulting firm. First attempt.
Placement Strategy
MBA vs Work — The Real Decision
Startup vs Corporate
13.4 lakh people appeared for UPSC 2024. 1,056 were selected. For the 13.39 lakh others — the years spent are not wasted. The skills built during UPSC preparation are extraordinary. The problem is that nobody has taught you how to translate them.

"I spent 5 years preparing for UPSC. I didn't make it. My Lumire expert had been through the same journey — and was now heading public affairs at a major corporation. In one session, she helped me see my preparation not as a loss but as the most rigorous professional training I could have had. I joined a policy research firm 3 months later."
Illustrative transformation story — replace with real client when available
In India, 78% of students say their parents significantly influence their career choice. Yet parents and students are rarely in the same room with the same expert having the same conversation. The result is compromise, tension, and decisions nobody is fully confident about.
The Lumire Family Session changes that. Student and parent join together. One industry expert facilitates an honest conversation — validating aspirations, addressing concerns, providing the data both parties need to decide together.
