confusion is a compass

Written By Ayush Duggal

73% recent grads feel completely lost after college.

i was one of them.

sitting up at night with my laptop open, scrolling through job listings, wondering why my degree suddenly felt useless.

everyone around me offered advice. find your passion. stick to the traditional path. get an mba.

none of it helped.

here’s what i found in sales.

you don’t get clarity by thinking more. you get it by trying things, even when you have no idea if they will work.

you do not learn to sell by reading books. you learn by making a hundred calls and hearing no, again and again.

confusion is not the enemy. confusion is your compass. feeling lost means you are reaching the edge of what you know.

when you are confused, you are not stuck. you are growing.

the people who seem passionate and certain? most of them found what they loved after getting good at it, not before.

the path does not show up if you keep analyzing. it shows up after you move.

stop asking, “what do i want to do?”

instead, ask, “what can i try this week that will teach me something useful?”

your confusion is telling you something important.

give it a chance. see where it leads.

Ayush Duggal

Ayush Duggal is the kind of founder who looked at India’s graduate unemployment problem and thought, “What if the real issue isn’t jobs or skills, but the complete lack of believable salespeople?” So he built VerveSchool. A place where the overlooked learn the overlooked skill. Sales. Not the sleazy kind. The kind that actually works. The kind where someone trusts you enough to say yes without hating themselves afterwards.

He teaches people how to sell like they mean it. Not because a script told them to. But because they’ve actually understood what it means to solve a problem for someone who’s barely listening. It’s more psychology than pipeline. More theatre than theory. More “shut up and listen” than “always be closing.”

VerveSchool runs on a Pay After Placement model. Which, let’s be honest, is probably how all education should work. You pay when it works. Not before. Radical, apparently. But only if you're still pretending the current system makes sense.

Ayush is allergic to mediocrity and buzzwords. He prefers late-night coaching calls to keynote speeches. He’d rather get one ambitious underdog to a 7 LPA role than impress a room full of VCs who’ve never had to sell a ₹15,000 course to a broke 24-year-old with a BA pass degree.

He’s read more Osho than MBA textbooks and thinks most “career advice” would make more sense if it came with a warning label. He doesn’t do fake humility. Or fake urgency. Just real people, real growth, and real results.
