No. I focus on behavioral, managerial and HR rounds: how you present your experience, answer situational questions and discuss salary.

Applying for an MS in the US- shortlisting universities, your SOP and resume, assistantships and funding, and what life and the job search look like after you land. It’s based on my own experience as an international student and isn’t visa or immigration advice.

It depends on your field, how you’ll fund it, and what you want afterward. STEM programs with good industry links and some funding are still a strong option. An expensive degree with a weak job market in your field is a big financial risk. We’ll look at your specific case.

Yes. I work with food and beverage startups, established brands and HoReCa businesses on new product development, end-to-end development, reformulation, scale-up, shelf-life studies, and menu and recipe development. Book the free Food NPD Discovery Call, or see drishtimajithia.com for how I work.

It depends on the product, but for most packaged foods expect 3 to 6 months from concept to a product ready for a trial run on a production line, longer if shelf-life testing is involved. The bench recipe is usually the fastest part. Scale-up and shelf life take the most time.

No two brands come to me with the same product, timeline or budget, so I don't work from a fixed price list. Before quoting, I take the time to understand the details: what you're making, where you are today and what you need from me. Then I scope the work around those details and send you a written proposal with a price built for your project, broken down by milestone, so you know exactly what you're paying for and why.
