My resume might look like a few pivots, but the way I think? That's a straight line. I’ve always been obsessed with two things: building great systems and understanding people.
My training started early. I was balancing the rigid, expressive discipline of Bharatanatyam dance with the sheer grit of state-level hockey. That taught me grace under fire and how to take a hit. Meanwhile, studying architecture wired my brain structurally, how all the distinct pieces fit together to make a whole.
The moment I realized I didn’t just want to design buildings, but the experiences inside them, everything clicked. I jumped into hospitality and then launched my own villa rental business. That venture was my real world MBA. I quickly saw a beautiful structure is useless without the right operational flow. The real thrill was revenue management, learned not from textbooks, but by running pricing experiments and watching guest behavior in real time.
This journey from architecture’s structure to hospitality’s empathy is why I’m passionate about consultancy. I see businesses like architectural blueprints: they need strong foundations (operations), functional flow (strategy), and a human element (culture).
I'm driven by the intersection of numbers and narrative. I want the 'why' behind the data. Whether I’m analyzing a P&L or just cooking a huge meal for friends, my goal is the same: to bring disparate ingredients together to create something that truly resonates.

Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your profile is definitely unique and memorable, and your story has a natural narrative arc from architecture to hospitality to entrepreneurship to consulting, which can work very well if framed clearly.
With about 2 years of experience, you’ll be on the younger side of the pool, so your essays must show maturity, leadership, and a strong reason for why now. Your villa-rental venture is a major asset, it gives you real operating, pricing, and customer-insight experience that many early-career applicants don’t have. Your multi-disciplinary background is a differentiator, especially for schools like Kellogg and NUS that value well-rounded storytellers.
The big swing factor will be your GMAT, which you’ll need to aim high for top programs. Your storytelling strength can become a genuine advantage if paired with a solid test score and crisp goals.
I’d be happy to offer you a free profile review for your target programs to see where you stand and how to boost your chances, happy to help!
No pressure, no strings - just helpful insights on where you stand and how you can strengthen your chances.
