MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

HBS '23 (MBA with Distinction) | Cambridge MPhil | Non-Traditional Background Coach (Former Diplomat) | Former International MBA Applicant | Coached ~60 people in last decade | My MBA admissions insights are shaped by personal rejection and success across two cycles. Former consulting coach & tutor at HBS. ------------ I bring a unique perspective to MBA admissions, having experienced both rejection and success firsthand. After initially being unsuccessful in my applications, I reapplied and secured admission to Harvard Business School (HBS) – without the help of a consultant. Through significant effort and independent research, I gained the insights needed to stand out. Looking back, having a mentor like myself – someone who understands the process and how to succeed – would have made the journey far more efficient. I hold a BA (Hons) in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from the University of Warwick, an MPhil in Development Economics from Jesus College, University of Cambridge, and an MBA with Distinction from Harvard Business School. As a non-traditional candidate, I became a diplomat at just 25 and served in five High Commissions and Embassies, giving me a unique perspective on navigating the admissions process outside the traditional MBA applicant pool. Over the years, I have mentored numerous aspiring MBA candidates, guiding them through every step of the process, from crafting outstanding applications to excelling in interviews. My proven strategies, built on real-world experience and a track record of success, equip me to help candidates from all backgrounds achieve their MBA aspirations. I know what it takes to succeed because I have lived it – and I am here to help you do the same.

As a proud NYU Stern MBA graduate with a merit-based scholarship and a spot on the Dean’s List, I bring a wealth of experience from my time as a strategy consultant at Deloitte and in investment banking at FT Partners. I've successfully coached candidates, helping them secure interviews and admissions at prestigious M7 schools, INSEAD, LBS, ISB, and other top programs. My expertise lies in guiding professionals from diverse backgrounds, including tech, finance, engineering, and family businesses, to sharpen their application strategy, essays, and interview skills. As a non-IIT, non-IIM Indian applicant myself, I understand the unique challenges international candidates face and am here to help you craft a compelling narrative. Let's work together to make your MBA dreams a reality!

I’m an MBA coach who combines insider insight with genuine, hands-on support. I’m currently an MBA student at the Kellogg School of Management, where I earned two merit scholarships. I have very recently been through the business school application and decision-making process myself—so I know exactly what works, what’s confusing, and what’s unnecessarily stressful. I specialize in helping candidates craft compelling stories, sharpen their personal narratives, and edit resumes and essays so they clearly communicate impact and potential. Beyond tactics, I focus on mentorship. Whether it's brainstorming alongside you or pressure-testing ideas, my goal is to help you build confidence at every step and feel proud of your application. My goal is for you to feel not just prepared, but empowered: clear on your story, proud of your application, and confident walking into this process knowing you’re putting your best self forward.

I’m a Stanford Graduate School of Business MBA and former admissions committee member at Tufts University. I help nontraditional MBA applicants get into top programs without prior work experiences in consulting, banking, or tech. I’ve been on both sides of the table. I know how applications are actually evaluated, where nontraditional candidates lose signal, and how to translate unconventional experience into a narrative admissions committees respect. My work focuses on strategy, positioning, and storytelling to turn your experiences into clear admissions leverage. If you don’t fit the "traditional" MBA mold, I will help you find a way to win anyway.

Standing out in competitive business school applications is all about how you tell your story. As a former strategic communications consultant at the Brunswick Group, an experienced Yale alumni admissions interviewer, and a successful pivoter, I can help you craft a narrative that resonates with admissions committees while staying true to who you are. I was admitted to 6 MBA programs with over $700K in total merit-based scholarships offered, so I've navigated this process myself — and I know what works. Whether it's sharpening your essays, refining your resume, or preparing you for interviews, I bring the same skills I used to media prep C-suite executives to help you approach admissions with clarity and confidence. I also believe the admissions process is bigger than admissions - it's a time to reflect on your personal and professional goals. Learning how to tell your story so far can help you write the next chapter. Here's how I can help: -Identifying target programs -Comprehensive resume review -Essay brainstorming and "story mining" -Crafting clear and compelling essays -Recommender selection advice -Elevator pitch -Mock interviews and tough Q&A
