The Bottom Line: 5/5 Stars (11/10 if I could)If you are looking for a consultant who will magically handle every administrative detail perfectly, you might face some friction here. But if you want a master strategist who uncovers your blind spots, crafts an undeniable narrative, and delivers a massive return on investment, Rishabh is the only consultant you should hire.
Despite some communication and timezone hurdles, his guidance yielded confirmed admits to three of the world’s best Executive MBA programs—Berkeley Haas, Kellogg, and Chicago Booth—alongside incredibly generous scholarships that more than paid for his services. I would recommend him to my wife or best friend without a single shred of hesitation.
The Challenge: A Tight Timeline & High Stakes
I began my EMBA application journey late in the game (mid-March). As a busy working professional, I simply did not have the time to spend hours researching what admissions committees look for, nor did I have the bandwidth to step away from my day job. After interviewing multiple consultants, Rishabh was the only one I trusted to help beef up my profile and build a winning strategy.
The Value: Uncovering Blind Spots & Insider Insights
Do you need an MBA consultant? If you already know exactly how to tell your story perfectly, no. But if you need help finding your blind spots and structuring your narrative, Rishabh is invaluable.
Deep Program Intelligence: He provided vital, nuanced information you cannot get from standard student networking. For instance, he completely clarified the critical differences between Kellogg Chicago and Kellogg Miami, helping me see through complexities I was completely unaware of.
Interview Prep: His framework on what to say, what not to say, and how to face the admissions committees saved me weeks of solo research and anxiety.
Profile Optimization: He expertly shaped my profile to ensure that my applications didn't just sit in a pile, but actively triggered interview calls.
The Realities: Real Operational Hurdles
To keep this review completely honest: the process was not entirely smooth sailing. We dealt with genuine communication challenges and delays. I am based in the US and Rishabh is in India, which naturally introduced timezone friction. Furthermore, his agency faced some unexpected internal disruptions during my cycle—employees quitting and a team member meeting with an accident—which caused delays in deliverables.
To navigate this, I had to stay highly organized on my end. However, looking past the operational bumps, the strategic output never faltered.
The Results: Massive ROI By Mid-May
By mid-May—just two months after starting—the results spoke entirely for themselves. I applied to 5 schools (Berkeley Haas, Kellogg, Chicago Booth, MIT, and Columbia). While I face a reject from MIT and am still waiting on an interview decision from Columbia, my outcomes are an absolute dream:
Admitted: Berkeley Haas
Admitted: Kellogg (with a generous scholarship)
Admitted: Chicago Booth (with a generous scholarship)
The scholarship money alone made the fees paid to Rishabh well worth the investment. He takes your profile, refines your raw story, and drives results. If you want top-tier admits and are willing to manage through a few timezone and scheduling wrinkles to get world-class strategy, hire Rishabh immediately.
