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.
…and you think you may be a fit for our services, feel free to reach out directly at [email protected].
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.
“MCB made me fall in love with the application process.”

Coming from a Media and Communications background, Peter made his way to equity analyst at a hedge fund. With the help of Sr. Admissions Consultant, Lainie Blum Cogan, Peter is now headed to NYU Stern.
One of the reasons that Peter decided to work with a consultant on his applications was his unconventional background. While his role as equity analyst at a hedge fund is not uncommon for business school, his route there was unusual, having started from a Media and Communications major. So with Lainie’s empathetic and detailed approach, Peter was able to craft a cohesive narrative as to why he was pursuing an MBA.
With the structured Menlo Coaching program and Basecamp tool to collaborate on, working together with Lainie was seamless in all aspects of the application process, from constructing the resume and strategizing on how to get the right test score for the programs he was applying to, to identifying what aspects of his personal and professional story could be leveraged in the essays and other application materials.
Peter was a very busy professional that needed to balance the demanding requirements of his finance role at the hedge fund and project managing his MBA applications. Lainie quickly became Peter’s accountability partner, helping him with milestone setting and pacing that eliminated unnecessary stress from the process and ensured that all application materials were completed not only in time but also at the standard of quality expected from top business schools.
In Addition to the professional approach of his coach in getting work done, Lainie took a personal interest in making sure that Peter’s workload was manageable and structured the application work around Peter’s busy work schedule. The great time management of the process allowed Peter to be in the right headspace to be able to reflect on his entire personal and professional life and bring to mind stories that were ultimately used to craft his unique personal story.
