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.”

West Point graduate and Infantry Captain Nick wanted to transition into tech, with a keen interest in exploring civilian blockchain applications. An MBA would round off his impressive leadership skills while providing a robust general management foundation to support his goals. From the outset, Kellogg’s newly launched MBAi, designed for AI enthusiasts, seemed like a perfect fit.
Aside from a part-time internship at a start-up, Nick had no work experience outside the military. Despite having a number of friends and fellow vets attending business school, Nick, stationed overseas with a family, needed specific pointers as to how to move through the process. Helping Nick expand his understanding of the MBA landscape allowed for a sound school selection, ultimately leading to multiple offers, including a full ride and living stipend at a top 10 school.
One of Nick’s primary objectives when enrolling with Menlo Coaching was to partner with someone who would allow him to identify what in his background would be compelling to the AdComs. This included drafting a resume translating his impressive military achievements into business-relevant, impact-oriented statements. Crafting his personal story was both challenging and rewarding, as it brought to the fore character traits, abilities, and interests that a resume would never capture.
Nick started out the MBA journey with a general idea of where he wanted to go, but no specifics. While his interest in technology—blockchain specifically—was longstanding, Nick was unclear as to how specific his career statements would have to be. Further, he was even unsure as to whether his goals were realistic. Over the course of his coaching with Menlo Coaching, Nick managed to first clarify his career goals to himself, and then format them into statements right in the sweet spot of being both ambitious and realistic.
