Get To Know Us The Vision Behind Edge × Your Career Narrative

Every impactful journey begins with a vision — a belief that with the right mentorship, structure, and guidance, every individual can reach their highest potential.

Sandipan Pal, the Founder & Director, is that visionary mentor. A strategist, educator, and motivator, he recognized a deep gap between talent and direction. Across years of mentoring aspirants, he saw brilliant minds falter — not because they lacked capability, but because they lacked a system that nurtured clarity, consistency, and confidence.

With that realization, he built Edge, a platform dedicated to structured mentorship, academic excellence, and mindset transformation. His approach blends strategy with empathy — guiding aspirants through personalized methods that emphasize discipline, critical thinking, and self-belief. From one-on-one sessions to full-fledged programs, his methods have helped hundreds of students crack civil service exams and professional milestones alike.

But a vision that uplifts others requires a human foundation — and that’s where Sudarshana Mukherjee, the Co-Director & Head of Human Resources and People Strategy, steps in as the driving force of organizational growth and brand development.

An accomplished HR professional and people management expert, Sudarshana brings years of industry experience in talent development, communication strategy, and career branding. Her sharp understanding of organizational behavior and individual potential fuels the structural and emotional core of Edge × YCN.

With her leadership, Your Career Narrative was born — a vertical dedicated to professional identity building, resume strategy, LinkedIn optimization, and interview coaching. She helps individuals discover and present their best selves with authenticity and confidence, bridging the crucial gap between preparation and employability.

Together, Sandipan and Sudarshana have transformed Edge × YCN into more than an educational brand — it’s a holistic ecosystem that merges mentorship, HR expertise, and strategic communication.

A place where learning meets career growth, and where every aspirant is guided not just to qualify — but to truly evolve.
