Background
I have attended 13+ schools growing up due to my father being an officer in the Indian Army, which allowed me to travel extensively across India. I graduated from a Tier-2 engineering college with a high GPA and received numerous merit scholarships for academic excellence. I held leadership positions during college and won several oratory competitions.
Work Experience
I have been with Deloitte USI for over three years. I am part of the Advisory vertical, which provides consulting services across industries, focusing on strategy, risk, and business solutions. Within this short span, I have received one promotion and won awards for my performance in client-facing projects. My role involves regular interaction with US-based clients, giving me valuable international exposure. While I haven’t held an official leadership position, I have mentored freshers and led projects in the absence of a formal lead.
Post-MBA Goals
My goal is to continue in the consulting industry at top firms such as MBB (McKinsey, BCG, and Bain), which offer short-term projects across diverse sectors—unlike Big 4 and boutique consulting firms. I also aim to focus on management consulting full-time, which is not currently possible in my role.
An MBA will enable me to pivot to management consulting, explore fresh perspectives outside the Big 4 ecosystem, and gain multisectoral insights. This experience will prepare me to transition into top impact consulting firms like Dalberg. My long-term aspiration is to hold a top-level position in an impact consulting firm, where I can contribute to initiatives with direct and meaningful impact.
For this journey, I am primarily targeting US-based MBA programs due to their average work experience profile and the better opportunities they offer. I am also considering ISB in India, a Tier-1 school with strong brand value that aligns with my career aspirations. While I haven’t finalized my decision, this outlines my vision for the future.
