Amity Education Group · Campus Placement

Connecting classrooms with the working world.

I'm Anjani. For the better part of two decades I've worked at the point where education meets industry — helping students at Amity get ready for the jobs ahead, and helping companies find the people they're looking for.

A bit about me

I like to think of myself as someone who opens doors.

The work is simple to describe and endlessly complicated to do: take a student who has spent years in a classroom, and give them a genuine shot at a career that fits who they are. Multiply that by thousands, every year, across a group the size of Amity — and you have a sense of the scale.

What keeps me at it is the moment when something clicks for a student — the interview they didn't think they'd get, the offer they didn't expect, the confidence they found along the way. I've had a front-row seat to thousands of those moments, and I'm not done counting.
