About Kshiteej

Hi, I’m Kshiteej! I’m an MBA student at Harvard Business School, and I know firsthand how stressful the application process can be. I’m here to help make it easier for you. Before HBS, I worked at Procter & Gamble, leading teams in manufacturing, operations, and product development. More recently, I spent time in venture capital at Bessemer Venture Partners, where I worked on investment theses and sourced startups. Along the way, I’ve learned a lot about leadership, problem-solving, and how to tell a strong, authentic story—skills that are key to a great MBA application. My goal is to help you present your best self to business schools. Whether you need help with essays, interview prep, or just figuring out how to position your story, I’ll work with you to build an application that reflects who you are. Let’s make this process as smooth and stress-free as possible!

Why do I coach?

I coach because I know how overwhelming the MBA application process can be—I’ve been there myself. When I was applying, I leaned on friends, mentors, and former applicants who helped me refine my story and navigate the process. That support made a huge difference, and now I want to do the same for others. I believe everyone has a unique story worth telling, and sometimes you just need a little guidance to bring it out. Whether it’s brainstorming essay ideas, structuring your experiences, or preparing for interviews, I’m here to help you put your best foot forward. My goal is to make the process feel less stressful and more achievable. Let’s work together to get you where you want to be!
