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.”

Dave’s love of standardized testing started well before he scored in the 99th percentile on the GMAT; it goes back to his childhood when he would seek out problems, riddles, and puzzles to solve for fun. Now Dave loves to share his passion for logic and problem solving with each of his students, helping them to see through GMAT problems to find the most efficient path to the solutions.
“I know most people dread studying for the GMAT, but I actually enjoyed every minute of it. When I decided to do an MBA and started studying for the GMAT, I was delighted to find that the problems were interesting, complex and clever. I love solving problems and puzzles and figuring things out in different ways – so I had basically been informally preparing for the GMAT my entire life. I can connect with students to get them engaged with the material and instill in them the same kind of interest and appreciation for the process of figuring out the answers that I have.”
Throughout his 12 years of teaching experience, Dave has come to realize that the key to mastering the GMAT is to gain a deep understanding of the fundamentals being tested and not to focus on tricks. He teaches students to break down complex problems into simple, manageable pieces so that the concepts can be understood at a fundamental level and solutions can reveal themselves.
Dave holds a Bachelor’s of applied sciences in mechanical engineering from the University of Waterloo and an MBA from Concordia University. Beyond GMAT students, Dave has taught at all levels of education, ranging from high school to university to continuing education.
In his free time, Dave enjoys playing Ultimate Frisbee (and is a veteran of 3 national championships!) or challenging friends and family to the game of Risk in his living room.
