Archit’s MBA Qualifications

Hello! I'm Archit. I graduated from Chicago Booth in 2024, where I was actively involved as a LEAD Facilitator (orientation leaders introducing new 1Ys to Booth) and head of Follies, our resident comedy group, putting on a comedy, satire, and performing arts show for hundreds of Boothies (and yes, some poor Kellogg students who showed up and were thoroughly roasted). I love to write. And what I'm here to do is turn your individual stories - your past, your present, and your future - into powerful narratives that wow MBA Admin committees. But we're going to do it by being honest and true, and that'll create something beautiful. In addition to the above experience, I have my own Substack and I received an offer from a major business newspaper to write for them. That being said, I'm currently in SoCal building my own business, and I'm looking to help aspiring MBA students as best as I can. Let's work together!

About Archit

Hi! I'm Archit. I recently graduated from Chicago Booth, where, honest to God, I had the time of my life. The best two years, that's for sure. Going in, I'd expected a great community and professional opportunities, and I got that. But what I also got was a totally changed perspective on life and career. I made incredible friends, incredible memories, and I developed a deep sense of confidence in myself. Now, I'm building my own company, based out in SoCal. Something about me - I love to write. I love stories and how powerfully they effect people. At Booth, I was head of our comedy club, and I put on Booth-wide comedy show (check out Booth Follies on YouTube). I contributed to the school newspaper and I've got my own Substack. I want to help you write your story. As for the professional stuff, I started my career at Paypal in a rotation program after graduating from UCLA. After two years, I switched over to Uber, where I strategic finance for acquiring new users for UberEats during the pandemic, and then switched over to the rides team, where I launched Uber's first EV product. At Booth, I interned at BCG.

Why do I coach?

I'm here for two reasons. One, I'm a big beneficiary of mentorship. I came to America when I was five years old, and I relied on mentors the whole way. I know how overwhelming life can be and how hard the next struggle can be. I'm here to help the next generation by turning your stories into powerful narratives. Two, it's fun. As a people person, I love meeting friendly faces and understanding them and their struggles, their hopes, and their dreams. And if I can help them get just a little bit closer to them, I'm here for that.
