An MBA consultant who truly understands and delivers and a master of personalized MBA strategy

When I began my MBA application journey, I was anxious, overwhelmed, and unsure of how to navigate the complex and competitive process. The research alone felt endless, and I struggled to articulate my story or clearly define my post-MBA goals. That’s when I decided to schedule a free consultation with Harshad and from that very first conversation, I knew I was in good hands. Harshad immediately struck me as someone with a warm, welcoming, and grounded presence. Despite my late start and tight timelines, he agreed to work with me, and I truly could not have asked for a better mentor throughout the process. We began by diving deep into my background, discussing my work experience, extracurriculars, and motivations. What I thought was the hard part (figuring out my story) turned out to be just the beginning. Harshad asked thoughtful, challenging questions that helped me gain clarity and direction, and his input was crucial in turning vague ideas into a compelling narrative.

Harshad didn’t push me to work on easy schools; he helped me understand what each program offered, what kind of student they looked for, and how I could position myself in a way that made sense for both sides. Every discussion was thorough and every decision intentional. As we moved into the application writing phase, Harshad brought incredible attention to detail. We swapped countless drafts of essays, and with each revision, he pushed me to dig deeper, think sharper, and write more authentically. He was always focused on preserving my voice and ensuring that no two essays sounded the same. Each application reflected a unique version of my story tailored to that particular school.
I believe where Harshad especially shines is his mastery over being an excellent storyteller and writer. He is able to craft together intricately all relevant details and transform it into writing. His writing is phenomenal, and his inputs and feedback would completely bring out the crux of an essay. I was pleasantly surprised at every final edit he did, and it was leagues ahead of the initial draft submitted. This skill really made me wonder how I would not have been able to submit such polished and impressive essays if it was not for Harshad.

Harshad’s strengths as a storyteller and writer are the perfect merger to succeed in your MBA applications, especially the essays and ‘your story’ component. What truly sets Harshad apart, though, is how he builds a full mental blueprint of his clients; not just professionally, but personally. He takes the time to understand your values, aspirations, and even how you think. This understanding shapes everything he advises on, and it creates a deeply personalized experience that never feels transactional. His feedback was clear, direct, and sometimes tough but always constructive.

Harshad not only prepped me on content but helped me sharpen my delivery, body language, and overall presence. I can say with full confidence that without Harshad’s guidance, I would not have performed as well in my interviews. Harshad also has a strong grasp on geopolitics, and he can guide his clients with ongoing current events accordingly. Most importantly, Harshad is just a genuinely good person. He cares deeply about his clients and their success. Working with him never felt like a service, it felt like being guided by a close friend or older sibling who truly wants to see you thrive. Thanks to his help, I was accepted into several top programs, including CBS and Fuqua. I wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend Harshad to anyone applying to business school!
