About

I help professionals improve (and often radically transform) their careers. Please consider 'following' instead of sending a connection request, if you're interested in my updates. For professional help, send an email: info [at] mbacrystalball [dot] com My MBA admissions consulting clients have got into the top international business schools with scholarships cumulatively valued in crores (millions of dollars) and gone on to work for the world's best companies. Featured / quoted as a higher education expert in leading international publications such as Fortune (USA), Financial Times (UK), Forbes (USA), Korrespondent (Russian), Poets & Quants (USA), BusinessBecause (UK), Times of India (India), and many more. I build technically strong websites that can achieve the maximum organic traffic with minimal content marketing efforts. My online ventures (hosting study abroad & career guidance resources) rank among the top globally in their niche and attract millions of visitors. I help top brands in the higher education space - including the ivy league universities (such as Harvard, Tuck) and service providers (leading finance & test prep companies) - in their outreach efforts. I've written 2 books, both have been bestsellers. 'Beyond The MBA Hype' (published by HarperCollins)​ has crossed 10 reprints and earned rave reviews from readers and admission officers from the elite business schools. Both books feature on Amazon Prime Reading. The online business simulation games I've built (BizMAP, SCM game) are being used in universities and corporate training classrooms across the world. Fun fact: My word-puzzles (called Onnicles) have been published in Australia's leading newspaper. In my updates (tagged #KamatSutra), I often use anonymous snippets from my discussions with folks who approach me with interesting career queries - if I think the response may be relevant to a larger audience. If you're looking for quick & informal inputs at this stage, as opposed to formal counselling, please post your questions on the most recent video on our Youtube channel, where we're answering informal queries. Makes it convenient for us to track and respond there, given the spike in the volume of queries we're getting.
