Open to working with clients outside the U.S.

I bring a wealth of experience in navigating the MBA application process, particularly at top-tier institutions like Wharton, INSEAD, and LBS, where I secured scholarships totaling $100,000 despite low GMAT score. My success in gaining admission and scholarships at these renowned business schools reflects my deep understanding of what admissions committees look for in candidates. I can offer valuable insights into crafting compelling essays, preparing for rigorous interviews, and selecting the right schools based on your unique profile and aspirations. With my guidance, you can confidently pursue your MBA dreams and potentially secure financial aid to support your academic journey.

About Archana

I'm a first-generation achiever with a rich blend of academic and professional experience. I hold an MBA from Wharton and have spent approximately 5-6 years in consulting, specializing in Bain's Private Equity practice, with a focus on retail, e-commerce, and technology. My corporate journey has been complemented by my entrepreneurial spirit—I'm an early-stage investor in consumer tech and ed-tech startups across Southeast Asia and Ethiopia. Additionally, I've ventured into product management as a former Senior PM at Amazon and currently serve as a co-founder of an ed-tech startup, Pharos: https://www.bepharos.com/, dedicated to revolutionizing education.

Why do I coach?

I coach because I understand the significance of guidance firsthand, especially as a first-generation individual. I've felt the need for mentorship and support throughout my educational and professional journey. This personal experience has driven me to guide and empower others who may be in similar situations. Drawing from my academic excellence, corporate insights, and entrepreneurial endeavors, I'm here to provide you with the guidance and knowledge you need to succeed. Whether you're navigating the complex world of MBA applications or seeking advice on pursuing a career in consulting, entrepreneurship, or product management, I'm genuinely excited to share my expertise and support your journey toward success. Let's work together, collaborate, unlock your potential, and transform your aspirations into tangible achievements.
