What we collect
When you book, enquire or take the India Comeback Check, we collect what you enter: your name, email, role, location and your answers. Payments are handled by our payment provider; we do not see or store your card details.
How we use it
Only to prepare for and deliver your coaching, to reply to you, and to send the snapshot or follow-up emails you asked for. We do not sell your data or share it with employers, and nothing you tell AskMenon is shared with Options Executive Search.
Where it is kept, and for how long
In AskMenon's client records, kept separate from any Options Executive Search records. Enquiries, booking requests and India Comeback Check answers that do not lead to a session are deleted after 12 months. Records of coaching clients are kept for 3 years after the last session, so a returning client does not have to start again. Invoices and payment records are kept for as long as Indian tax law requires. You can ask to see, correct or delete your data at any time by writing to menon@optionsindia.com.
Cookies and analytics
The site uses cookieless analytics to count visits. There are no advertising pixels.
Terms of service
The service
AskMenon provides career coaching. It is not a recruitment or placement service. We do not circulate CVs, arrange interviews or make referrals, and we do not guarantee interviews, offers or any other outcome.
Sessions
Sessions are held online by video call at the booked time. The Career Strategy Diagnostic is a single 60-minute session. The Executive Transition Sprint and the Leadership Move Advisory are agreed individually after a Diagnostic, with their scope, schedule and fee confirmed in writing.
Fees and payment
The Diagnostic fee is shown on the booking page and paid in full at booking. Taxes apply as required by law. Programme fees are paid as set out in the written agreement.
Separation from Options Executive Search
Achyut Menon also runs Options Executive Search, which serves employers. The two services have separate agreements and confidentiality. If Achyut is running a search you are part of, he will tell you and will not coach you into that process for a fee.
Cancellation and refund policy
- You can reschedule a Diagnostic once, free of charge, up to 24 hours before the session.
- Cancel at least 24 hours before the session for a full refund.
- Cancellations within 24 hours of the session, and missed sessions, are not refunded.
- If AskMenon cancels or cannot hold a session, you choose a new time or a full refund.
- Refunds are processed within 48 hours to the original payment method. Your bank may take a few more days to show the credit.
- Programme cancellation terms are set out in each programme's written agreement.
