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.
