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].

What does Tuck value?
Tuck values the idea of sharing who you are, what you have done, where you are going, and how you will get there. You do so across four sets of criteria. Being smart, accomplished, aware and encouraging forms the essential foundation on which the best candidates build. The Tuck class is diverse by design, no two candidates are equally strong across all criteria, and you may demonstrate different strengths in different ways.
