ABOUT RITIKA SARASWAT

If you’ve ever felt “not enough” because of your degree, your background, your accent, or because you have zero Canadian experience — this page is for you. I’m Ritika, and a few years ago, I was exactly where many international students & newcomers are today: Rejected from hundreds of jobs. Ignoring emails because I assumed they were rejections. Applying quietly, hoping something would change. A Bachelor of Kinesiology. No corporate experience. No roadmap. But everything changed when I learned how to: Build credibility with proof of work Create visibility through storytelling & personal branding Turn lived experience into opportunities Build a community that lifts you up That journey became Re-Defined, a movement that has now supported people across 4 countries and built a community of students & newcomers. Today I help: Students & newcomers convert foreign/zero experience into paid roles Founders & professionals build personal brands that open doors 🤝 Organizations understand & uplift diverse talent Along the way: I’ve spoken at 75+ events Been featured on CTV, CBC, Globe & Mail, Toronto Star Built partnerships with Deloitte, BMO, BrainStation & more Hosted 45+ large-scale community events My belief: Your background does not define your potential. Your story is powerful. Your visibility is your leverage. And your career can be re-defined at any stage. If you’re navigating your career as a newcomer, student or someone from a non-traditional background — you’re not behind. You’re just getting started.
