Dr. Akhila Desai uses fingerprint analysis to help students and professionals to decode their innate potential and career aptitude

A while back, Akhila Desai came across and decided to enrol herself in a session titled ‘Discover the possibilities of thy-self with mere tip of your fingers’. “After I attended this, I realised how effective this study had been, and how accurately it depicted the correlation of our brain growth and fingerprint development.” Desai decided to further research this field and got her own self-analysis done too.
With over eight years of research and experience, she then founded Disha-CareerBridge Advisors, a career development centre leveraging fingerprint analysis to aid those still trying to figure out what career they should opt for
In just one and half years, her services have positively impacted thousands of students and professionals, establishing her as a trusted authority in career development.
“Fingerprint analysis is based on the principle that fingerprints are unique to each individual and contain specific patterns that correspond to different brain lobes,” explains Desai. These patterns are further analysed and can identify an individual’ innate strengths and talents, learning styles and preferences, personality traits and behaviours, and career aptitudes. It is important to note that the test is just not to understand what one is good at but rather to see oneself through the skill sets that are already there by default.
Desai, who has a doctorate in Vedic Research & Development and dual masters in Ancient Indian Psychology and Indian Management System explains that fingerprint analysis can accurately identify an individual’s strengths and talents up to 90%. “However, it’s essential to note that fingerprint analysis is not a predictive tool, but rather a guidance system that helps individuals understand their innate abilities,” she says.
And she terms it “a divine feeling” when those who she has guided come back to tell her how this one test changed the course of their life or how it moulded them into understanding the purpose of their life. “It is nice to see how this one test turns their struggle into a pleasure. It helps them understand themselves, choose their careers, and improve their skill set,” says Desai.
Among those who she has helped includes a noted architect’s daughter. “The mother had difficulty understanding her daughter’s behaviour, but with this test she realised that her daughter uses a different study pattern to understand the concepts better,” explains Desai. Another engineering college dropout had completing his BBA and was stuck in 9 to 5 job which he didn’t enjoy. “He took the test and post the counselling session, took a leap of faith and started an interior design firm. Today, he has successfully helped people redesign and decorate their homes,” says Desai. The test, she adds, has helped corporates hire the right people for the job.
“While I may not be the only person in Goa who checks biometric for skills, what sets me apart is the counselling provided in choosing the correct life path,” she says, adding that she hopes to open more branches soon.
