“When I began preparing for consulting interviews at HBS, I felt overwhelmed by the volume of information—frameworks, drills, mock interviews, everything. What I lacked was clarity and a repeatable approach. Working with Gaurav changed that completely.He helped me identify blind spots I didn’t even realize I had: unclear structuring, weak transitions, and hesitation in communicating recommendations. Every session with him was rigorous yet incredibly supportive. His ability to break down complex issues and help me internalize a true consultant-like mindset was the biggest unlock.What stood out most was how customized his coaching was. He pushed me on creativity, taught me to handle partner pressure, and refined my fit stories to a level that felt authentic and impactful.I received offers from both EY-Parthenon and BCG, ultimately choosing BCG Chicago. I still use Gaurav’s techniques daily. His coaching was one of the best investments I made during my MBA.”

Sofia, Stanford GSB

“Before working with Gaurav, I was confident in analytics but struggled with communicating my thinking clearly under pressure. Stanford’s recruiting pace is intense, and I felt I was slipping behind. Gaurav changed that rapidly.His approach was unlike any coach I’d worked with—deeply personalized, practical, and grounded in how real partners think. He taught me how to frame problems top-down, navigate ambiguity, and handle the ‘partner push’ that derailed me earlier. The biggest shift was learning how to synthesize insights concisely while still sounding confident and structured.Thanks to his guidance, I converted interviews at both PwC Strategy& (West Coast) and BCG Los Angeles, ultimately choosing BCG. What surprised me most is that I still use his methods in my day-to-day work. Gaurav doesn’t just prepare you for interviews—he prepares you for the job.”

Aditya, Wharton

“When recruiting began at Wharton, I realized that my background in private equity didn’t automatically translate into strong casing skills. I struggled with communicating in a top-down way and often over-analyzed problems instead of driving toward a clear hypothesis. Working with Gaurav fixed that quickly.His sessions were incredibly targeted—he broke my habits down piece by piece and rebuilt my approach in a way that felt natural and repeatable. He also challenged me to think more creatively, taught me how to handle stress interviews, and pushed me to articulate insights with much more precision.With his coaching, I received offers from Deloitte Strategy and Bain Boston, ultimately choosing Bain. The most valuable part? The mindset shift. Even at my current job, I still rely on the thinking frameworks he drilled into me. He genuinely changed how I solve problems.”
