Vivek’s MBA Qualifications
Vivek has helped clients get into these schools:
When I was applying to MBAs, I had four things keeping me up at night. Which schools actually fit. Whether Lauder or the MBA/MPP path made more sense. How to not read like every other consultant in the pile. And whether a below-median GMAT score was going to sink me before anyone read a word I wrote. It didn't. I got in — Wharton MBA, Lauder MA — and I was sponsored by my employer to do it. I'm Vivek. I work with people who are somewhere in that same mess: consultants trying to stand out, international applicants figuring out how to come across, anyone staring down the MBA vs. dual-degree question, and candidates who don't have a perfect score and are wondering if it matters. It's a solvable problem. Reach out.

About Vivek
I was born in Manipur, in northeast India — a place most people haven't heard of, and one that was going through a difficult period politically when I was growing up. I left for boarding school in Gwalior on a scholarship, then another scholarship took me to university in Abu Dhabi, and eventually I ended up in New York. By the time I got to the MBA application process, making a case for myself in a new place wasn't unfamiliar. Outside of work I run, cook, paint, and eat my way through whatever city I'm in. I take all three of those seriously.
Why do I coach?
When I was applying, I had colleagues at Deloitte reviewing my essays and a Lauder alum who became a mentor and changed the whole shape of my application. I had only been thinking about Wharton. She introduced me to Lauder, gave me the inside perspective, and suddenly a program I hadn't considered became the one I most wanted. I got in. That experience is why I coach. Not everyone has a consulting network or happens to meet the right alum at the right time. I did, and it made a real difference. What I want to do for the people I work with is make that kind of access a little less random — help them see their own application more clearly, figure out what they're actually a strong candidate for, and give them the kind of honest, specific feedback I was lucky enough to get.
