Nishchay
The Transition Advisory Clarity of decision. The moment the fog lifts and you finally know.
You have been thinking about leaving your Tier 1 city
for months. Maybe years.
This is the conversation that tells you honestly
whether you are ready — and what the move
actually involves.
The Transition Advisory

- One-on-one with Amit Chilka
- On demand · Book a slot that works
- Short intake form 48 hours before

You have done
the research.
You still don't know.
You have googled "cost of living in Dehradun" at 11pm more times than you would admit. You have read the articles. Watched the videos. Run the numbers.
And you still don't know.Not because the information isn't available. Because the information you actually need isn't online.
These questions don't have Google answers. They have one answer.
Someone who has done it, sitting across from you, telling you the truth.
Not a relocation service. Not a coaching pitch. Not a pep talk.
Nishchay is 45 minutes with Amit Chilka — who left Pune for Dehradun in May 2025, after 22 years of corporate life in India's major cities.
He is not going to tell you to make the move. He is not going to tell you it is wonderful and you should come.
He is going to answer your specific questions honestly — including the ones whose answers might tell you this is not the right move for you right now.
That is the value.
Not validation.
Not motivation.
Nishchay — the clarity that comes from one honest conversation with someone who has been exactly where you are standing.
- A relocation service or real estate advice
- A motivational conversation about following your dreams
- Financial planning or FIRE corpus calculations — that is Disha
- General life coaching
- Validation for a decision you have already made
- 45 minutes with someone who has done the specific thing you are considering
- Honest answers to your real questions — including the uncomfortable ones
- The version of the story the media didn't cover
- One clear thing to resolve before the move is possible for you
- A written follow-up within 24 hours — one sentence, the thing that matters
The clarity that comes from one honest conversation
with someone who has been exactly where you are standing.
You are seriously thinking about it. You just haven't said it out loud yet.
Not everyone sitting with this question needs Nishchay. Here is an honest description of who gets the most from it — and who doesn't.
- You have been seriously considering moving from a Tier 1 city — Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai — to a smaller one
- You want honest answers about what the transition actually involves: cost, community, schools, healthcare, identity, income continuity
- You have a specific city in mind — Dehradun, Rishikesh, Coorg, Mysore, Kasauli — and want to talk to someone who has lived a version of this
- You want to speak to someone who has done this, not someone who has researched it
- You are not ready to move yet — but you want to be clearer about whether you ever will be
- You want someone to validate a decision you have already made
- You want real estate advice, financial planning, or FIRE corpus calculations — that is Disha
- You are looking for general life coaching
- You want a motivational push rather than an honest answer
Four parts. No wasted time.
Not "tell me about yourself." The specific thing you most want clarity on by the end of this call. Everything that follows is oriented around that one thing.
Not the media story. Not the Instagram version. The real version.
What it cost — financially, socially, professionally, and personally. What surprised him. What he got wrong. What nobody told him. The things that got easier faster than expected. The things that took longer than they should have.
Schools. Cost of living. Community and social life. Healthcare. What you give up. What you gain. Whether remote work actually works from here. What the first year feels like.
Based on everything in the conversation: what is the one thing you need to sort before this move is possible for you?
Not a list of things. One thing.
Not a yes or no. Nishchay.
A clear picture of what the move actually involves — and whether you are ready for it.
I know what I am moving toward and it is worth what it costs.
And here is the specific thing I need to sort before this becomes possible.
Both are Nishchay. Both are worth ₹2,500.
24 hours
The single decision identified in the call — in writing, so it does not fade.
Not a summary. Not advice. Just the one thing.
Not someone who researched this. Someone who did it.
Amit Chilka spent 22 years in corporate HR — Cognizant, Wipro, Synechron, Intelliswift as CHRO. He left in late 2022. In May 2025, he drove from Pune to Dehradun — a move he had been building toward for twelve years.
The schools. The community. The cost. The identity shift that nobody warns you about. The mornings when there is nowhere to be and you are not sure whether that feels like freedom or falling. The things that got easier. The things that surprised him by being harder.
After his story was covered by Hindustan Times, Economic Times, NDTV, MoneyControl, Financial Express, and others — he found himself in hundreds of conversations with people standing exactly where you are standing.
This call is the proper version of that conversation. Paid. Focused. On your specific situation.
He is not a relocation consultant. He is not a real estate advisor.
He is someone who has done what you are considering and will tell you what it actually involved.
Everything you need to know before you book.

Amit reads this before the call. It is what makes 45 minutes sufficient.
The single decision identified in the call — in writing, so it does not fade.
Not a summary. Not advice. Just the one thing.
Primarily Dehradun and the Uttarakhand hills. Also covers broader Tier 1 to Tier 2/3 city transitions across India.
