At an age when most people dream of retirement, Pradeep Pramanik continues to dream for others—dreams of clarity, confidence, and careers for the youth of India. With a career spanning over four decades, he stands today not just as the Director of Fast Track Career Consultants, but as a living embodiment of resilience, reinvention, and responsibility.
A Journey Rooted in Purpose
Born in Jamalpur, Bihar, and raised across various towns thanks to his father’s railway postings, Pradeep’s early life was a journey of adaptation. He attended PMP Zila School in Daltonganj under a government scholarship, before graduating in Bhagalpur. His initial steps into the pharmaceutical sales industry laid the groundwork for what would become a deeper calling.
From the bustling lanes of Mumbai to the corporate corridors of Hyderabad and Bengaluru, he wore many hats—sales professional, marketing strategist, product expert. But success, he realized, wasn’t about numbers. It was about impact.
That realization led him to start something that Eastern India had never seen at scale—Fast Track Career Consultants, in 1998.
Fast Track: Not Just a Consultancy, But a Movement
Based in Bhubaneswar, with branches in Ranchi and Patna, Fast Track Career Consultants has guided more than 20,000 students and job seekers. From rural college graduates to urban professionals stuck at crossroads, Pradeep’s mentorship has lit the way forward.
What makes Fast Track different?
It’s not just about jobs. It’s about helping people discover who they are, and more importantly, who they could be.
Recognized by Governments, Respected by Generations
Pradeep’s work has earned him accolades from:
-
The Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India
-
Governors of Odisha, acknowledging his contribution to youth empowerment
-
Rediff.com, where he served as a career expert guiding thousands
-
TV media outlets, where he appears regularly as a panelist on youth and employment issues
But if you ask him what he values most, it’s not the awards—it’s the “thank you” messages from the thousands whose lives he’s helped change.
A Pen That Inspires
Beyond consulting, Pradeep is a prolific writer with over 4,000 published articles and four books to his name. His titles like My Career in My Hands and Mo Career Mo Hathare aren’t just books—they’re blueprints for personal transformation.
More Than Careers: A Crusader for Youth Wellness
Pradeep is also a tireless voice against the growing threat of drug addiction, alcohol abuse, and youth disillusionment. He leads awareness sessions, speaks at colleges, and uses every platform he gets to remind the youth:
“Your life is your responsibility. Own it. Shape it. Respect it.”
A Mentor’s Legacy
At 63, Pradeep Pramanik isn’t slowing down. In fact, he’s expanding Fast Track’s reach, building new partnerships, and mentoring future counsellors.
His core message remains simple:
“Success begins when you believe you deserve it.”
