Who We Are

An Event Organisation Built Around a Social Mission

Passion to Profession works in association with the Vikalp Kaushal Foundation as a joint venture for the welfare of society, focused on the skill development of children, youth, and women.

We give people the opportunity to build confidence and become entrepreneurs — because confidence is the one thing that can't be bought. We believe entrepreneurship is really about learning to face failure, manage it, and keep moving forward.

We believe every child has a right to education, and we run Skill Development Programs to help women and children grow in the areas where they're naturally strongest.

Our Mission, Vision & Purpose

Our Mission

Working towards a bright, equitable future by helping our youth and children climb the stairs of success. We see skills as a cost-efficient tool for making the world a better place, and we're here to give people a real chance to grow into their potential.

Our Vision

Securing a meaningful life for women, youth, and children through skills — helping them become fearless, self-assured, and focused. Every champion carries a desire, a dream, and a vision inside them long before the world sees it.

Our Aim & Purpose

To become the No.1 platform for people whose age or circumstances have kept them from pursuing their skills — connecting them with training from reputed institutes through a team built from every corner of India.

Why Skills Matter

Skills are more than a career tool — they build confidence, community, and wellbeing all at once.

Personal & Community Growth

Skills help build a professional network, better time management, and negotiation ability — tools that serve people well beyond any single job.

Mental Wellbeing

Research consistently links physical and creative activity — dance, yoga, art, sport — to improved mood, self-esteem, and reduced anxiety.

Stronger Communities

Shared activity builds local identity, trust, and mutual support — the same ingredients that underpin healthy, resilient communities.

Krishnamachari Srikkanth, mentor to Passion to Profession
Our Mentor

Krishnamachari Srikkanth

Former Captain, Indian Cricket Team · 1983 World Cup Winner

Known to cricket fans simply as Kris Srikkanth, our mentor was a dashing opener for India and part of the historic 1983 World Cup-winning team, later serving as Chairman of the BCCI Selection Committee.

Today he mentors the Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL team and is a familiar voice as a broadcaster and commentator, known for honest, straightforward opinions. He's spent years identifying and nurturing budding cricketing talent — the same instinct he now brings to corporate management training.

A graduate in Electrical Engineering, he's equally passionate about education, having authored a Life Skills book series and founded careerstrokes.com, a set of digital learning modules for schools and working professionals.
