While a few lucky ones could go out and achieve their dreams, a huge majority was lost and didn’t know what to do in their career. So to solve this problem and develop their hometown, 4 passionate youths, Sucharita Dhar (HR Manager), Ankita Paul (People Manager), Tapashree Dev (Training Manager), Ricky Dev (IT Manager) launched Shantica on 25 July, 2021.

She said, “With our first hand corporate knowledge, we are coaching aspirants with key skills like effective communication, leadership skills, technical skills, confidence building etc as 50 youths get rejected in interviews because they lack these important skills. as per our recent survey, 85% of the students from Silchar feel they don’t have enough guidance & support to pursue their career goals.”
