why fresh grads settle

Written By Ayush Duggal

"bhai starting mein toh itna hi milta hai."

that's what they tell us. that's what most people settle for.

a fresher sitting in a job paying ₹20,000 feels like normal. but normal isn't always right.

we've been taught to wait our turn. to accept the slow path because that's just the way it is.

but what if these rules weren't made to help us, but to hold us back?

there's something wonderfully ridiculous in how we treat fresh talent. you do what you're told. top grades, polished grammar, respectable degree.

but then? you get handed a job that barely pays for toothpaste and wi-fi.

this is the grand reward for playing the game right?

the system isn't broken. it's optimized for what's easy to measure, not what actually moves the needle. certificates. checkboxes. theories.

meanwhile the real career superpowers get sidelined. confidence, persuasion, creativity. they're treated like extras in their own story.

at verveschool we didn't ask for permission. we built a side door.

instead of drowning in more theory our people get tools that work in the real world. they stop applying. they start building.

career growth stops looking like a lecture and starts feeling like lift-off. ₹60,000 per month and up.

and you pay us nothing but sincerity and gratitude until you get there.

this isn't motivational fluff.

it's what happens when you stop treating people like underqualified applicants and start seeing them as undervalued assets.

outstanding careers aren't built by following what's normal. they're built by challenging it.

average is a choice. remarkable is too.

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.
