We were lucky to catch up with Prasiddhi Jain recently and have shared our conversation below.

Prasiddhi, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s kick things off with a hypothetical question – if it were up to you, what would you change about the school or education system to better prepare students for a more fulfilling life and career?

I’d change the education system to focus less on memorization and rigid pathways and more on adaptability, problem-solving, and real-world exposure. Right now, schools push a one-size-fits-all approach, but life doesn’t work that way. We need to teach students how to think, not just what to think. That means more emphasis on financial literacy, critical thinking, and hands-on experiences—things that actually prepare students for life and careers that are constantly evolving.

thinkhers targets exactly this. I want a system where students get hands-on experience—internships, real projects, exposure to different careers—before they’re thrown into the deep end at 22, wondering what they’re even good at. Education should be about empowerment, not just checking boxes.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Last year, my sister was applying to colleges, and we were exchanging dozens of texts a day—me reviewing her essays, giving feedback, and helping her refine her applications. At one point, I asked her to create an Excel tracker to stay organized. She put something together, but it wasn’t very functional. I fixed it, but that moment made me realize something: it wasn’t my few years in consulting that taught me how to think through structure, efficiency, and problem-solving. It was years of figuring things out on my own—navigating opportunities, learning by doing, and adapting as I went.

That experience made me reflect on how many young women, like my sister, are incredibly capable but don’t always have the right tools, mindset, or guidance to approach problems strategically. It’s what pushed me to build thinkhers—a space where young women can develop the skills, confidence, and network to take control of their futures. I wanted to create a program that didn’t just teach concepts but showed how to think critically, how to take action, and how to push past uncertainty.

Beyond that, I’ve found so much fulfillment in the creator and founder space—interviewing female entrepreneurs, hosting networking events, and creating spaces where ambitious women can connect and collaborate. I also love sharing bits of my life in NYC, whether it’s navigating career moves, training for a half marathon, or discovering great new spots in the city.

More than anything, I want to build a community centered around transparency and support—where we can learn from each other and grow together. On my platforms and through thinkhers, I focus on creating real, actionable resources. I’ve learned that success isn’t just about big ideas—it’s about having the right people around you and the confidence to take the next step. Whether it’s mentoring young entrepreneurs, hosting events, or sharing insights, I try to bring that same energy into everything I do. The most rewarding moments are when someone tells me, “Because of thinkhers [or my content], I accomplished XYZ.” That’s what keeps me going.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

Cold. outreach.

I partnered with established programs targeted at my audience and as a non-profit, people were very willing to have a conversation and help. I also emailed 400+ high school clubs across the country to get my name out there.

Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?

I love listening to podcasts about how other companies started – a personal favorite (and a bit of a cliche answer) is How I Built This.
