My experience leading large-scale projects at Zomato and working with senior stakeholders in government and tech policy has honed my strategic thinking and problem-solving skills. I've successfully coached 5 individuals, guiding them through the intricacies of the consulting recruitment process. If you're looking to break into top consulting firms, let's connect and craft a winning strategy together

About Gautam
I’m an MBA student at IESE with a pretty non-traditional path into consulting. I started my career in the public sector in India, working on policy and social impact projects before deciding to pivot. During my MBA, I interned at Bain London and will be returning full-time. I know what it’s like to break in from the “non-standard” route, and I’m here to help others do it too. Whether it’s tightening your story, structuring cases, or building confidence, I’m happy to share everything that helped me get across the line.
