Aayush Banka — Associate Consultant
Hi, I’m Aayush Banka. I work in consulting and write about career strategy, entrance exams (like CAT, XAT, etc.), internships, and early-career decision making, especially for students and young professionals trying to make sense of confusing choices. I’m a Commerce graduate from Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), University of Delhi, and currently pursuing my MBA at MDI Gurgaon. I also have 2 years of experience as a Consultant in political consulting, where I worked on strategy, research, and execution across public policy and governance-focused projects. Over time, I’ve realised that most career mistakes don’t happen due to lack of talent but due to unclear thinking, herd behaviour, and rushed decisions. My work and content focus on breaking these patterns using first-principles thinking and a consulting mindset. During college, I served as the President of Vittshala - The Financial Literacy Cell at SRCC, where I led 100+ financial literacy drives across India and helped launch the organisation’s first international outreach in Nepal. My professional exposure includes: EY – Research Intern Paytm – HR Intern Urban Company – Strategy & Operations Intern Finocontrol – Strategic Officer (Sr. Manager), contributing ₹2.1L+ in revenue Alongside my professional journey, I actively create content on LinkedIn. I’m part of the LinkedIn for Creators Programme, with 700+ posts reaching over 25 million people, where I share practical insights on careers, internships, MBA decisions, and real-world learning, without fluff.
