About Us - The Upward Spiral (UPSPIR)

In today's dynamic business landscape, finding the right talent is essential. Unpredictable hiring, concerns about quality, and high employee attrition create significant bottlenecks that stifle the tech industry's growth. 

Meanwhile, young professionals face an uphill battle transitioning from the classroom to successful careers. The lack of access to jobs and the necessary skills makes it difficult for them to secure desirable positions.

Upspiral bridges this gap by preparing young professionals with the skills and training the tech industry demands. We help individuals get placed while helping organizations build high-performing teams.

The name 'UPSPIR' draws inspiration from the concept of an Upward Spiral, symbolizing exponential growth. We fulfill our purpose by providing quality talent to the industry and continuously supporting the career growth of individuals.

Our Story

The Journey Behind UPSPIR

We believe every individual strives to make an impact at work. With the right foundation, individuals can create success stories that benefit organizations far beyond immediate needs.   

 

In my experience leading and building teams, I have interviewed many candidates who lacked the necessary skills, even after additional training, highlighting a gap in the training process and a need of better training and mentoring oppurtunities for them.

 

Due to the lack of skills,  industry started keeping professionals in silos, confining them to low level tasks,  and failing to provide young professionals with the right opportunities, limiting their potential and overlooking the tremendous advantages of having experienced, loyal resources who are eager to go the extra mile for growth in different roles over their careers. 

 

We started Upspiral to change this paradigm. Our goal is to create a framework that allows young professionals to build successful careers in the industry while providing companies with high-performing team members.

About Me

Nikhil Kumar Ahluwalia

I'm Nikhil Kumar Ahluwalia, and I have over 16 years of experience in the tech industry. Despite starting from a non-tech background, I built a successful career, guiding many engineers from entry-level positions to high-ranking roles. These journeys taught me invaluable lessons about the essentials of career-building.

In my career, I've seen firsthand the gaps in training and the missed opportunities for individuals with the right intent but lacking the proper guidance. This inspired me to establish Upspir, with the mission to empower individuals through comprehensive training, mentorship, and job placement.

We believe that job acquisition is just the beginning. True progress is driven by solid foundations in technical, soft, and employability skills. Continuous learning and adaptability are vital. Our programs are designed to instill these skills, preparing individuals for successful careers in tech.

I invite you to join me on this mission to transform the way talent is nurtured and developed.
