"You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems."

-James Clear

TL;DR: The core of this bootcamp is to set up systems/mechanisms that help you differentiate. Systems that give you leverage. Systems to achieve outstanding outcomes without stress. Systems that attract more scope and responsibility. Systems that get you to the next level.

This workshop is for you, if you are an leader in tech and...

You realize what got you here won't get you there. You work hard and have moderate success. But you want to generate asymmetric impact.

You now believe in systems over goals. You want impact over busy work. You are looking for leverage to achieve fast growth without stress.

You know the power of intense focus. You value associating with positive people and the community to achieve challenging goals with ease.

I highly recommend Krishna’s career accelerator bootcamp for professionals. Krishna distils his years of experience into a clear and actionable framework. Besides rich and digestible information, the sessions are full of well-designed activities that enable us to put learning into practice the right way.

Jing Zhu

SDM@Amazon

It is a one-of-a-kind learning experience. He has distilled career management into a "recursive algorithm" that can be applied at any career stage to create an upward spiral. Growth is a result of many moving parts - behaviours, knowledge, job performance, and so much more.

Mayank Kumar

Head of ML @ Amazon

Krishna helped me gather many critical frameworks that I can apply in my personal life and work to gather high impact tasks, eliminate distractions and help team accelerate success. I highly recommend Krishna's work for anyone who really accelerate career growth\ideations\personal projects.

Yogesh Thite

Engineering Manager @ Microsoft

Post the cohort, I have been better able to influence my peers and my team in a way I thought was once not possible using the 7-step flywheel of career growth, and I could re-orient my skillset in growing and developing the best. I highly recommend Krishna's cohort to any experienced engineer.

Santosh Kumar

Software Development Manager @ Amazon

Krishna walks each cohort through 7 steps of a career growth flywheel, and each step is an additive step specifically geared to help you grow in the right manner. There is content that sparks discussion, and the fact that both managers and ICs are in the same room presenting their perspectives is actually a lot more helpful than one might suspect.

Chandan Kanodia

Engineering Leader. Ex-Meta

Being an introvert myself, I felt Krishna's sessions were a safe space and you could openly discuss any issues that you have and get good feedback and practical tips in return from Krishna and the fellow members in the course. There were learnings from every individual discussions that happened over the 4 weeks and it was great to see so much knowl

Steffi Christopher

(Engineering Manager @ Pattern Energy Group)

For me, this is not a commercial one-off Bootcamp as I have seen Krishna's effort and personal interest in Career Growth. I really felt like this Bootcamp triggered a new start for me with the different perspectives from the Bootcamp and the insights that Krishna shared.

Srini Gopishetty

VP- Head of Integration Delivery

I hope I have now made several lifelong friends. The Manager sessions covered leading and managing and addressing the growth of managers and their teams.

Umang Vanjara

(Senior Development Manager @ Intuit)

The sessions reminded me of the legal principle "Audi Alteram Partem," which encourages hearing both sides of an issue. This approach was evident in the round table discussions where individual contributors and managers came together to discuss ways to shape their careers, set goals, and establish habits.

Rajeev R

Engineering Leader @ Amazon

I can't describe the immense amount of growth I have had in the last 6 weeks andI am sure the material will help me with my current and all future jobs. Cherry on the cake was finding many like-minded individuals who will be great lifelong friends and mentors."

Pratik Vij

(Senior Manager, Data Engineering @Total Wine & More)

There are lots of products out there to help crack interviews and land a new job, but not many talks about how to be impactful in a job, once you land it - I think this Bootcamp fills this gap and I hope it reaches and benefits more people.

Raj Kumar M

(Senior Software Engineer at Shopify)

The complete immersion into the subject matter is fantastic. The format is well thought out, and the material builds on itself nicely. I found the sessions incredibly informative and the assignments practical for advancement and providing a roadmap to accomplishing my leadership objectives.

Anirudha Joshi

(Senior Technical Program Manager @ UFCW)
