In today’s rapidly evolving world of work, navigating career choices can feel overwhelming. The landscape is full of possibilities—but also pitfalls. That’s where Meghna Khan comes in.

A seasoned career and life coach, leadership trainer, and founder of MK Counselling Services (MKCS), Meghna has spent more than two decades helping individuals and organizations chart a path through the uncertainty. Her mission? To enable every person to pursue a career goal that aligns with their interests, passions, and personality.

Established in 2019 and headquartered in the UAE, MKCS is not just another career advisory firm. It’s a transformational platform born out of Meghna’s vision to bridge the gap between aspiration and action. Today, MKCS serves clients in more than 10 countries—students, professionals, universities, and corporates—all benefiting from the tailored programs and proprietary tools Meghna has carefully curated.

A Journey Rooted in Purpose

Meghna Khan’s story is one of evolution and empathy. With a master’s degree in Human Resources and an academic background in engineering, Meghna brings a unique balance of analytical rigor and human insight to her work. Her professional journey spans continents and sectors—from educational startups and global NGOs to prestigious institutions and Fortune 500 companies in the U.S., India, and the UAE.

After working with organizations such as Manipal University, Women at Work, and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Meghna identified a recurring gap in the career development space: a lack of truly customized, practical solutions that address the individual behind the resume. That realization led to the founding of MKCS.

“I wanted to create something that didn’t just diagnose where someone might fit,” Meghna explains. “I wanted to help them decide, design, and thrive in a path that feels true to who they are.”

Building a Platform that Works

MKCS is built around a powerful idea: that professional decisions should be personal, precise, and purposeful. To realize this, Meghna assembled an advisory board consisting of academicians, senior HR professionals, and corporate consultants from global enterprises. Together, they developed a sophisticated suite of psychometric tools designed to go beyond generic aptitude assessments and provide real-world, actionable insights.

These tools—now fully integrated into MKCS’s digital platform—form the core of programs like:

  • Dream Finder Program – For discovering ideal career directions based on an individual’s interests and personality.
  • Goal Finder Program – Designed to clarify and prioritize career and life goals.
  • Resume Writing Services – Tailored CV creation that tells each client’s unique story.
  • LinkedIn Profile Builder – Optimizing professional presence in the digital world.
  • Corporate Masterclasses – Training workshops focused on career transitions, employee retention, and leadership development.
  • Candidate Insights Program – Used by recruitment companies to better match candidates with the right roles and cultures.

Each service is supported by a strong foundation in data and delivered with Meghna’s signature empathy and precision.

For Individuals, Institutions, and Industry

MKCS caters to a wide audience across three distinct verticals:

  1. Individuals – From high school students unsure of which path to pursue, to mid-career professionals seeking meaningful change, MKCS provides one-on-one counseling and strategic direction. Meghna has guided hundreds through job transitions, role clarity, and personal development planning.
  2. Institutions – Schools and universities leverage MKCS programs to upskill their faculty in career coaching and prepare students for real-world challenges through workforce readiness workshops.
  3. Corporates and Recruitment Firms – MKCS partners with businesses to improve hiring outcomes, strengthen employee engagement, and address retention challenges. The programs are particularly popular with HR departments seeking to foster more aligned and motivated teams.

Coaching With a Heart

What truly distinguishes Meghna is her coaching philosophy. As a certified life coach and an ICF Level 2 trained professional, she brings an emotionally intelligent lens to every engagement. She understands that career choices are not just professional decisions—they are deeply personal ones.

“There’s a story behind every pivot, every hesitation, every dream. My job is to help people hear that story clearly and act on it,” she says.

Her favorite mantra—“Encourage, lift, and strengthen one another. For the positive energy spread to one will be felt by us all”—is a reflection of the culture she cultivates both within MKCS and among her clients.

Going Global, Staying Personal

Although headquartered in the UAE, MKCS has touched lives across Asia, Europe, and North America. Through online consultations, digital assessments, and globally relevant programs, Meghna has built a borderless brand rooted in personal connection.

Her social media platforms, webinars, and YouTube content continue to attract a growing community of career seekers who resonate with her grounded yet empowering approach.

From students in Dubai looking to choose the right major, to professionals in London facing burnout, Meghna’s insights provide clarity when it’s needed most.

Looking to the Future

MKCS is on a trajectory of growth, and Meghna shows no signs of slowing down. Plans for new partnerships with schools, additional tools for corporate upskilling, and wider digital accessibility are already in motion.

But for Meghna, the vision remains clear and constant: “Every person deserves a career that reflects their true self. Not one chosen out of confusion or convenience, but one built on clarity and confidence. That’s what we’re here to deliver.”
