Advice needed

A friend has asked me for advice, crowd sourcing solutions for him

He is 38, is a 12th pass, left BBA midway to start his own business. Ran it for 15yrs, sold it after severe loss, sold family house too

Currently working in a BPO but wants to do better.

Is willing to learn/ start afresh but needs to work too. For last 2yrs, wife is taking care of everything including his parents

What can he study/upskill? Non technical background person but also willing to learn other things

Please suggest

Go for Certifications like CIA, CFA, CMA US. The ones that can be cracked within a year with a little effort

Dude yes! These are finance certifications. They have equal importance as CA, CMA & CS.

Ask him to learn copywriting and marketing and start consulting on X , LinkedIn.

People are making good money on these

He can actually apply to other companies based on the business he ran earlier. I don't think education will be handicap given he has significant experience of being an entrepreneur. Should try startups
