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 Shyam’s Story

#1 Personalized Service 

For Shyam, it was important to have support on his MBA journey, to help him identify which schools would fit both his professional goals, as well as his personality. In Menlo Coaching he found the structured and personalized service he was looking for. 

#2 An Investment

Menlo Coaching helped Shyam trust the process and understand what to expect from it. In the end, he would not call it a cost, but rather an investment. He especially found value working with fearless communicators when preparing for interviews. Instead of focusing on what to say and how to say it, they helped him explore his own communication style, which he attributes to his success. 

 #3 Advice for MBA applicants

Time and commitment are essential to this process. Besides that, Shyam emphasizes the importance of staying true to yourself.
