Our Team of MBA Consultants | Meet Your Mentors

Whether you are applying to the top international MBA programs or the best Indian business schools, our consultants have an indepth knowledge of the entire spectrum. They've managed not only to get into the top schools (University of Cambridge, Indian School of Business - ISB) with the toughest selectivity rates but also graduate with flying colours.

They also have impressive accomplishments in the corporate world, having worked for many leading organisations (including McKinsey, IBM, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Citigroup). They've worked in multiple industries and donned many hats as well - ranging from strategy consulting to mergers & acquisitions. Incidentally Strategy consulting and Investment Banking are the most coveted post-MBA careers for many MBAs.

They've managed to use their MBA degrees to facilitate complete career transitions. In short, they've managed most of what a prospective MBA candidate from India expects from a top-notch MBA program.

But their personal and professional successes aren't what makes them favourites among MBA aspirants. It's what've they've been able to do for their clients that makes them special. No wonder word-of-mouth publicity works best for us.
