Menlo Coaching

A Quick Note for Indian Applicants

At Menlo Coaching, we’ve had strong results working with Indian applicants from elite backgrounds—particularly those at large family businesses, private equity and venture capital firms, or other high-end employers.

But we want to be upfront:
We’re not the best fit for every Indian applicant.

Our pricing is significantly higher than local firms—and may be out of reach based on typical Indian salaries.

We focus on a small subset of Indian applicants and do not have broad admissions data across the entire applicant pool.

If you’re currently working for a top-tier family business, PE/VC fund, or similar organization…

…and you think you may be a fit for our services, feel free to reach out directly at [email protected].

Looking for a Great Local Option?

We often recommend MBA Crystal Ball, one of the most established and trusted MBA admissions consulting firms in India.

They’ve helped a wide range of applicants succeed at the M7, T10, and T25 programs—even those with challenges like low test scores, GPA issues, or career gaps.

Highlights from Brad’s Story

#1: Prestigious College Not Required 

As a CPA and computer scientist, Brad wanted an MBA to help him round out his business knowledge and advance into a management position. He knew that his application would need extra attention, as he had not attended a prestigious university as an undergraduate. By pushing him to work hard and develop the best application he was capable of writing, Menlo Coaching was able to help Brad earn the results he wanted: out of the eight programs he applied for, six accepted him.

#2: Investing in Menlo Coaching Paid Off

At first Brad was a little wary of the fees charged by Menlo Coaching, but he decided he needed the best help possible. In the end, Menlo Coaching was “110% worth the money, for sure.” In fact, Brad saw an immediate return on his investment when two of his target programs offered him full-ride scholarships. 

#3: Daily Contact

Brad noted that his coaches, Alice and Leslie, were in daily contact with him for a four-month period. They kept things honest, accepted only his very best, and directed him to goals that he could achieve.
