Work with Manan Gupta and Tanya Mehta on the decisions and details behind your application. From choosing programmes abroad to preparing for interviews, we help you explain what you have done, what you want to do next and why each MBA fits.
You may be considering INSEAD, London Business School, Oxford Saïd, Cambridge Judge, HEC Paris, NUS or programmes in the US. We start with your work experience, target role and country, budget and time away from work before getting into essays.
A useful shortlist connects each programme with the change you want to make. We look at curriculum, programme length, recruiting routes and outcomes for people with comparable experience. Work-authorisation and language requirements need to be checked for your target country and roles; a school's reputation alone does not answer those questions.
You can come with a school list or start with the question of whether an MBA abroad makes sense. Compare the options in our Indian versus international MBA guide, explore our school finder, or read about our Indian MBA application support.
The application process
We talk through your career, responsibilities, decisions and interests outside work. What have you taken ownership of? Where have you grown? What still needs explaining? These conversations help us choose the examples to develop and the schools to focus on. For international applications, we also connect your target role and country with a clear reason for each programme.
We use the RAC format: Result, Action, Context. Each bullet answers three questions: what impact did you create, how did you create it, and why did you create it? This helps us show the result, the work behind it and the reason it mattered.
We start with a brainstorming exercise where you put down everything that comes to mind, whether it seems relevant or not. Helping you organise and make sense of that material is the most important part. We then work through it in long strategy calls, which can feel almost like therapy: asking questions, drawing out your unique perspective and finding the storyline in your experiences. From there, we develop a cohesive strategy for the entire application, so each answer has a clear role in telling your story.
We help you think through who knows your work well and which examples would give them useful context. Your recommender's own observations matter. The aim is a specific account of working with you, supported by experiences they can speak to themselves.
School-specific mock interviews help you practise explaining your career choices, goals and examples under follow-up questions. We give direct feedback on where an answer is clear, where it drifts and where it needs more thought.
You can work with us across the application, or discuss a separate application review or interview-preparation engagement if that is what you need.
Your consultants
Tanya is a Chartered Accountant and ISB alumna who also studied at IESE on exchange. Her finance and strategy experience across four countries informs conversations about studying and working abroad. She helps applicants think through their experiences and develop clear, personal essays.
Manan is an ISB and Bain & Company alumnus. His experience in consulting and building businesses informs the way he works through career goals, resumes and the choices behind an application.
We ask questions, challenge vague answers and help you find the detail that makes an experience yours. You do not need to arrive with a polished story.
“Tanya - your essays have always been on point. I don't think a GPT can do justice to your storyboard and bring out those raw emotions as finely as you do. Manan - You have guided me a lot across my application and resume. Looking back at where we started and comparing it to what we finally submitted feels surreal.”

Common questions
No. School choice can be the first thing we work through together. We start with the role and country you want to work in, your experience, budget and timing, then investigate which programmes fit.
We help with school selection and application strategy, your resume, essays and application answers, recommendation guidance, and school-specific interview preparation. Tell us what you have already done so we can discuss the help that would be useful now.
Your experiences remain yours, but the questions, word limits and reasons for choosing each school differ. We build a cohesive application for each programme and decide which examples belong where. Reusing an essay without revisiting the question usually leaves important parts unanswered.
Yes. We look at your previous application, what has changed since then and which answers need more work. That could include new responsibilities, clearer goals or a stronger explanation of an experience. We cannot promise that a revised application will lead to an admit.
Yes. Standalone interview preparation and school-specific mock interviews are available. If your application is already underway and you want a review, share what is ready and your deadline so we can discuss the scope.
They should. We work from your experiences and help you choose, structure and explain them. You should recognise yourself in the finished application and be able to discuss every example in your own words.
Have your current resume, target schools and intake if you have a shortlist, next application deadline, and a few thoughts about your career goals and preferred location. If you are reapplying or have started writing, bring the previous application or current drafts too.
