Most professionals will retire having never worked at the level they were actually capable of.

I spent 22 years inside corporate — IBM, TATA, AT&T, and Wipro — carrying quotas, leading P&Ls, and building teams that delivered at scale. The Top 1% Career Club is where I share what it takes to achieve maximum career success — not by chasing seniority or designation, but by becoming the top 1% in your specific niche. That is what moves professionals beyond the ₹1Cr+ ceiling and keeps them there.

About

Built from the inside.
Not observed
from the outside.

I have carried quotas, led country P&Ls, and built teams that delivered at scale — across twenty-two years with IBM, TATA, AT&T, and global SaaS companies. I know what it takes to move in the senior market because I have lived it.

I am an ICF ACC certified coach with an IIM Bangalore background. The Top 1% Career Club is where I make the system visible — the positioning, the visibility, the negotiation, the hidden rules that nobody writes down.

The system works because it was built from the inside. Not observed from the outside.

The Top 1% Career Game by M Matiur Rahaman

The Book

A career book written specifically for mid-career senior professionals in India.

Whether you are an MBA student mapping your first decade, an engineer stepping into leadership, a mid-career manager hitting an invisible ceiling, or a senior leader wondering why your career has stopped reflecting your capability — this book was written for anyone serious about succeeding in the corporate world.

  • The 3 career traps keeping brilliant professionals stuck
  • The Career GPS — north star role, bridge role, skill map
  • How to access the 80% of senior roles never advertised
  • The complete salary negotiation system
  • The senior interview framework built around judgment

Career Diagnostic

Before you fix your career, you need to know exactly what is broken.

The Clarity Call is not a sales conversation. It is a focused 45-minute diagnostic — where we look honestly at where you are, where your capability deserves to take you, and what is actually standing between the two. You leave with clarity, regardless of what happens next.

I have a very limited number of these conversations each month. I review every application personally and only accept those where I believe the session will produce something genuinely useful.

In 45 minutes we cover:

  • Where you are today versus where your capability places you
  • The specific gap — positioning, visibility, negotiation, or strategy
  • What is realistically possible in the next 6 to 12 months
  • The one or two moves that would change the trajectory
Request a Clarity Call
Tell me where you are and what you are trying to solve. I read every application and will reach out within 48 hours if I believe the session will be genuinely useful for you.

This is a diagnostic — not a pitch. You will leave the call with clarity on your situation, regardless of what happens next.

Application received.
I review every application personally.
If there is a strong fit — I will be in touch within 48 hours.
