About

Born in a joint family in Kolkata, I grew up surrounded by warmth and the quiet realization that financial independence wasn’t optional, especially for women. That hunger to build something of my own led me to Mumbai, where I learned to adult fast. From catching local trains to cracking consulting without a pedigree or a campus offer, every step was a lesson in resilience. From being the girl who didn’t know what consulting meant... → to landing my dream job at Deloitte through cold calls, casebooks, and sheer grit. → to getting into ISB after a rejection, not by fixing weaknesses, but by doubling down on strengths. Those experiences shaped how I mentor today. I now work with students and early-career professionals who want to pursue education abroad whether that’s an Undergraduate, Masters, or MBA and feel lost about where to begin. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering: “How do I choose the right country or course?” “What if my story isn’t strong enough?” “How do I stand out when everyone else looks perfect on paper?” I’ve been there and I help you navigate that. Through 1:1 consulting, I help you: ✅ Find clarity on your goals and course fit ✅ Craft essays and resumes that sound like you not like templates ✅ Prepare for interviews with authenticity and confidence What sets my approach apart? I don’t “package” profiles. I help you uncover what’s already remarkable about your journey and tell that story in a way that sticks. Whether you’re a high schooler exploring global undergrad options or a working professional dreaming of an MBA, I’m here to help you make informed, intentional decisions and ensure your story gets heard. 📩 If that sounds like the clarity you’re looking for, let’s connect.
