About Me

Who's Done It.

I'm Anhad Shrivastava — ISB PGP Co'28, CAT 2025 at 99.92 percentile (~AIR 207), and GMAT Focus at 725.

I cracked both the top exams, navigated the ISB application process, graduated, and now help others do the same — using the exact frameworks I built from scratch during my own preparation.

I started taking on students informally while still at ISB. Friends asked for help, then their friends, then people who found me through LinkedIn. What struck me every time was how much advice circulating online was generic, outdated, or came from consultants who hadn't personally sat these exams in years. That gap is what I'm here to close.

My Story

Why I Started
This Practice

When I was preparing for CAT, I had no mentor. I figured it out through a large number of mocks, analysis sessions, and strategy iterations. I built systems from scratch — and those systems eventually produced a 99.92 percentile.

The GMAT came next — two attempts, a 725 on the Focus edition, and a very different set of lessons about performing under a different kind of pressure. Both exams taught me things about preparation that I couldn't find written down anywhere.

When I got to ISB, I realised I'd built something valuable: a working, evidence-tested methodology for both the exam and the application process, from someone who had just been through it. Not from 5 years ago. From now.

Students started reaching out — from my batch, then from LinkedIn, then from referrals. The pattern I saw repeatedly: people spending months on the wrong things, with no one to tell them. The DILR set-selection insight that moved Priya from 92 to 98 percentile took 10 minutes to explain. She'd been on the same problem for 3 months.

That's the gap this practice is built to close. Not with volume — with precision.

The Path Here

2024

GMAT Focus — 725

Two attempts. Documented what changed between them — in strategy, in approach, in mindset under pressure. These lessons now form the GMAT coaching framework.
Late 2024

ISB Application & Admit

Wrote the essays, sat the interview, converted the admit. Learned from the inside what ISB's application process actually selects for — and what it doesn't.
CAT 2025

99.92 Percentile · ~AIR 207

Prepared the methodology from the ground up. The section strategies I used — and refined through 60+ mocks — form the foundation of the masterclass and prep guide offerings.
2025–2026

ISB PGP — Graduated

Completed the program. Began taking on consulting clients formally. First 100+ students, 94% target school conversion rate.

How I Work

Three Things I
Never Compromise On

Radical Honesty

I tell you what you need to hear — even when it's uncomfortable. An inflated assessment of your chances doesn't help you. An accurate one does. You will always know exactly where you stand and what that means for your application strategy.

Full Personalisation

No templates. No generic plans. Everything I give you is built around your background, your current level, your target schools, and your timeline. The session I run for a CA with 2 years WE looks nothing like the one for an engineer with 5 years.

Outcomes Over Process

Every session ends with a specific next action. Every guide has a measurable goal. I don't measure success by how our session went — I measure it by where you end up. I keep my client load small precisely because this matters.
