Unmatched Knowledge and Experience: Thanks a ton Rishabh!


I reached out to Rishabh while I was preparing for the GMAT and was at a decisive stage of determining which programs to target after five years of diverse experience in the high-technology industry. At the time, I was thoroughly researching various consultancies and seeking advice on how to shape my career trajectory and identify the best path forward. I had engaged with several well-known, established, and top-ranked consultants from India, Europe, and the USA, but none of them left a meaningful impression. My goal was to secure admission into a highly selective program in the US, the MS in Product Management at CMU Tepper School of Business. This program, with its intake of only about 45 students from across the globe, is one of the best globally for the technology product management sector. I was looking for someone who could not only understand the intricacies of my profile but also grasp the unique and specific requirements of this program. Rishabh’s detailed insights into the program, many of which I had not encountered elsewhere, proved to be a game-changer. The program’s high selectivity ratio made it a formidable challenge, but his exceptional knowledge and guidance gave me a much-needed edge. His approach to aligning my story with the program’s requirements, his deep understanding of my industry, and his ability to patiently address all my questions were exactly what any ambitious applicant could hope for. Every call with him was a treasure trove of well-researched information, delivered with a friendly and supportive demeanor. Working with him was a truly enriching experience, and I learned so much throughout the process. In particular, his guidance on crafting a successful priority waitlist strategy was pivotal in securing my place in this esteemed program. His unmatched expertise and treasury of knowledge were instrumental in navigating this crucial stage and ultimately achieving my goal. I am thrilled to have accomplished my target and to now be a part of such a prestigious program. Rishabh has been my guiding light and the sole enabler of my success in this roller-coaster journey of discovering my purpose and gaining admission into a top-tier technology management program. This sucess at the end of a journey of self-exploration and path finding spanning almost three years, would not have been possible without his support. We are truly fortunate to have Rishabh as a top-ranked consultant who deeply understands Indian candidates and their unique backgrounds. He is, without a doubt, one of the finest in this industry and someone you can completely rely on to guide you to success.

Berkeley Haas. My dream come true!

I got to know about Rishabh from one of my colleagues and researched in depth about his firm GyanOne and read various positive reviews about them before finally speaking with him to start work on my T10 bschool applications. Of course, my admit into Berkeley Haas would not have been possible without him. He believed in it more than i did. It was my dream school and he made this dream come true. Here are my two cents if you are selecting an Admissions Consultant for T10 admits.

Work with THE consultant: Unlike other firms, who have junior consultants working on your apps, Rishabh himself works on your apps and essays. No junior consultants at all.
Genuine expertise and belief: Rishabh is very clear about what can be achieved realistically and what cannot be and conveys the same to you, so you work on a clear MBA path head on.
Detailed knowledge that comes with experience. I got a lot of confidence and conviction about my own candidature after the very first call itself. Rishabh will work on all your documents thoroughly.
Full on support - in everything. I mean it guys. He really makes you go beyond your potential and work hard on your essays and all other documents.

Fully Total recommended!

Thanks a ton again Rishabh. God bless!

With my GMAT score just on the borderline for top schools, I was worried about my candidature. With just about 3 weeks to the deadline, Rishabh has set out clear timelines to complete the application. He was always available for calls, which is what I really appreciated as there was a time crunch. Rishabh helped take my story notches above where I started with, with his detailed insights about the school, my industry and profile. He is truly a gem and am grateful he invested his time in me and helped me achieve a top school admit, despite my score and just 2 years of experience.

Thanks a lot Rishabh for all your help, in making ISB a reality.

When I first connected with Rishabh for a profile evaluation, I was immediately struck by his refreshing honesty. No sugar-coating, just a straightforward assessment of where I stood and a clear roadmap of viable options. This brutal honesty, delivered with genuine care, set the foundation for our entire journey together.

My situation was challenging: just 3 years of work experience, no GMAT or GRE scores despite multiple attempts, and a GPA below 3.5. With Round 2 deadlines looming just one month away, I was terrified of losing an entire year. But Rishabh remained cool, calm, and collected. He not only suggested several solid T25 options but encouraged me to aim higher than I initially thought possible.

What impressed me most was Rishabh's ability to transform my perceived weaknesses into strengths through masterful storytelling. My experience at a major Indian FoodTech company was reframed into a compelling narrative about technology's strategic role that authentically connected with my background and core values. Through his guidance, limitations in my profile became unique differentiators.

Working with Rishabh on storylining, resume crafting, and recommendation letters was eye-opening. He consistently identified insights in one conversation that would have taken me days to discover on my own. His extensive network at target schools proved invaluable, connecting me with alumni for recommendations and referrals that strengthened my applications.

With just one month before deadlines, we tackled applications to five schools. Rishabh worked tirelessly, day and night, going far beyond what I expected from a consultant. His dedication was unwavering throughout the intense process.

The are multiple T20 and T25 admits with scholarships! Now Rishabh is helping me navigate school selection, continuing to provide the same level of thoughtful guidance. I couldn't be happier with my decision to work with him and can't recommend his services highly enough for anyone serious about transforming their MBA dreams into reality.

Writing this testimonial, my mind goes back to the first day I met Rishabh in his office. He was the only consultant who told me and my family the reality of how the MBA admissions process works, and what my real chances would be. He was positive, but also very practical and grounded. We liked that and began working with him. It would be a journey of 7 months in which we had tens of calls, brainstorming sessions, essay writes and rewrites, and discussions on the right strategy for the right schools.

Applying without a GMAT score and a GPA of less than 3, I had a challenging profile. Rishabh acknowledged this, and kept me on track by focusing on my work experience, and how I had created value as one of the youngest program managers in my firm. I come from a niche industry (FoodTech) and expressing the best path for my goals was initially hard for me. Rishabh surfaced several themes from my work and my personal life that differentiated me, and when the first set of apps was submitted, I knew that my MBA dream was finally close to coming true.

As I look back, I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Rishabh as a great mentor and coach, and as a consultant who will stay with you and get you the results.

Working with Rishabh was transformative for my MBA journey. What sets him apart is his unique consulting approach. He helps you discover and articulate your authentic story in a way that resonates with admissions committees.

Coming from a diverse background spanning consulting at ZS Associates, healthcare analytics at Novartis, and now leading growth initiatives at Bolt, I initially struggled to weave these experiences into a coherent narrative. Rishabh's brilliance lies in his ability to synthesize perspectives across industries. He helped me connect the dots between my work in pharma analytics, ride-sharing marketplace dynamics, and my passion project—founding Gram Dawai to address rural healthcare gaps in India. He showed me how each experience built upon the other, creating a compelling story of impact at scale.

His insight into schools, particularly Kellogg, was outstanding. Within our first conversation, he identified Kellogg as the perfect M7 fit for my profile. He understood exactly which aspects of my story would resonate—from my collaborative leadership style at Bolt to my community-focused entrepreneurial venture. He knew the specific pressure points that would work, both professionally and personally (my commitment to democratizing healthcare access). His guidance on positioning my rural healthcare startup wasn't just about showcasing entrepreneurship, but about demonstrating Kellogg values of collaboration and social impact.

What made the experience great was how Rishabh works with you as an individual. He was genuinely interested in understanding what drives me—from my roots at IIT-R to my passion for using technology to solve real-world problems. This deep interest made me feel valued, respected, and most importantly, authentic throughout the process. I never felt like I was packaging myself into a template; instead, I was presenting the best version of my true self.

The process itself is thorough and professional. Rishabh maintains strict timelines and pushes you to deliver your best work. Expect multiple iterations, intensive brainstorming sessions, and precise, actionable feedback at every step. For instance, even though I had recommendation letters ready for another school, Rishabh insisted on tailoring them specifically for Kellogg. He provided detailed inputs on what Kellogg values in recommendations—emphasis on collaborative leadership, global perspective, and quantifiable impact. This attention to detail made all the difference. His approach of multiple iterations initially felt demanding, but I soon realized it was necessary to achieve excellence.

For anyone serious about getting into a top MBA program, especially if you have a non-traditional or diverse background, I cannot recommend Rishabh highly enough. He truly helps you understand why you belong there.

I walked into the GMAT Focus exam with a clear head and walked out with a 675. That number felt strong, and knowing it equals about a 730 on the classic scale helped me breathe easier. Still, I knew essays and interviews would decide my fate.
Rishabh at GyanOne became my sounding board. We met on video calls, swapped voice notes, and tore through Google Docs like editors on deadline. He showed me how to turn a late-night prototype failure into a story of grit. He helped me cut jargon so my health-tech work sounded human. Interview drills surfaced every tricky question, from post-MBA career pivots to personal setbacks. When the admits from LBS, INSEAD, and Oxford Saïd landed in my inbox, I realized the score had opened the door, but our storytelling had walked me through it.

I came to Rishabh as a re-applicant who had struck out completely the previous year. No admits. That's a tough place to be, and I needed someone who could help me understand what went wrong and rebuild from scratch.

Rishabh brought something I hadn't found elsewhere: depth of knowledge that goes beyond admissions. He thinks 10 years ahead. He sees where industries are heading and keeps a constant pulse on the post-MBA job market. This meant he could help me evaluate whether my goals would actually hold up under scrutiny from adcoms and recruiters. That forward-looking perspective made all the difference in reshaping my application.

I had switched industries just a year before applying, which felt like a potential weakness. This is where his storytelling ability really shone through. Rishabh took what seemed like a disjointed career path and helped me weave it into something coherent and compelling. Through our conversations, we worked together to bring out my vision with complete clarity. I could finally articulate what I was looking for in a way that felt true to who I am.

What really struck me was how much he cares. Rishabh treats your application like it's his own. He'll push you hard, hold you to a high standard, and won't let you settle for something that's just "good enough." You can tell he's genuinely invested in your success.

I'm now heading to Oxford, and I honestly don't think I would have gotten there without his help. Thanks Rishabh!
