Investment Banking Coaches

As one of four Investment Banking Career Fellows at the Wharton School (selected for demonstrated excellence in the recruiting process), I coach first-year MBA students on mastering every stage of investment banking recruitment. Drawing on five years of experience helping clients craft compelling professional narratives, I equip clients to present themselves with precision, confidence, and authenticity!

Successfully navigated Investment Banking Summer Analyst position and received a full time return offer. Held coffee chats with 100+ industry professionals. Taught investment banking technical and behavioral questions to Sophomores at Northeastern University.

With a robust background in private equity and strategic finance, I bring a wealth of experience to help you navigate the competitive landscape of investment banking and private equity careers. As a former Private Equity Associate at Ara Partners, I worked on five portfolio companies and closed two platform investments in the energy / decarbonization sector, providing me with firsthand insights into the intricacies of the industry. My journey also includes roles at EIG (an infrastructure PE fund) and J.P. Morgan, where I honed my skills in energy infrastructure and investment banking. I am well-equipped to guide you through the nuances of private equity applications and interviews, especially if you have an engineering background. I am also a graduate of Harvard Business School (MBA) and Princeton University, and closely worked with the admissions team on crafting an overall admissions strategy. I'm happy to assist with business school or college applications and strategies to maximize your admission chances.

🚫 I may not be the right coach for you — yes, you read that right! If you're looking for a magical solution to break into Investment Banking, this isn’t it. ❌ If you’re still reading… I still may not be the right coach for you. If you already come from a strong finance background, chances are you know more than I do! 🧠📊 Still here? 👀 That’s probably because you’re trying to pivot into Investment Banking. 🔄💰 And this is where I know I can add tremendous value. 👩🏽‍💻 A little about me: I'm an Indian female engineer turned management consultant. Most recruiters would probably categorize my profile as a classic non-traditional candidate. I’m currently pursuing my MBA at Wharton, UPenn, and successfully landed two summer internship offers from top Investment Banks in New York. 🗽💼 📞 Types of Coaching Calls I Recommend 1. "Help me get started" 🚦 We’ll do a full profile analysis, understand your specific circumstances, and chart a personalized roadmap with clear next steps. 🛣️🗂️ 2.

"Help me master networking" ☕🤝 Includes a short mock coffee chat + tailored advice to help you be more effective (and memorable!). As an international student with zero finance experience, I had to learn the hard way. Let me help you skip that learning curve. 🚀 5. "Help me plan my technical prep" 📘⏳ Let’s build a customized technical prep strategy — the best resources, timelines, and milestones — that works with your schedule, not against it. 🗓️🔧 6.

Welcome to my profile! I’m a Wharton graduate with an MBA from Harvard Business School and bring over 15 years of experience in finance. For the past decade, I’ve been at Warburg Pincus—a top-10 global private equity firm managing over $100 billion—where I’m currently a Principal. Throughout my career, I’ve interviewed hundreds of candidates and directly mentored dozens of Analysts, Associates, and Vice Presidents. I know firsthand what it takes to break into competitive finance roles and advance within them. You may have come across my “Comprehensive Finance Interview Guide,” which I originally wrote over a decade ago while preparing for my own private equity recruiting—just one of many resources I’ve created to help others land top roles. Whether you’re preparing for investment banking, private equity, or business school, I offer targeted coaching across resume development, mock interviews, technical prep, recruiting strategy, and more.

After I graduated from Berkeley Haas, I spent two years as an investment banking analyst at Morgan Stanley before becoming a Private Equity Associate at The Carlyle Group. In my free time, I am a mentor for Women In Network, a non-profit organization founded to promote and encourage females in the professional world by fostering mentorships, expanding networks, and building communities. I have helped high school and college students with thinking through their future career by helping them with interview prep, talking through their interests / what they're looking for in a job, understanding the technical portions of a model / questions that would come up in an interview, and providing step-by-step guides to recruiting. I also taught 2 Berkeley Haas classes when I was a senior in college. I prepared materials for my classes, which were "Introduction to Investment Banking" and "Introduction to Buyside Financial Modelling".

I interned and worked in Wells Fargo's Consumer & Retail team, and have experience with M&A, equity and debt financing, and corporate advisory. My focus in Investment Banking was Consumer & Retail and M&A. My focus in Private Equity was Lower Middle Market & Middle Market.
