I help Indian students plan their path from a liberal arts degree to a top European business school, and from there into analytics and strategy roles.

Student and Research Assistant at HEC Paris · Paris

About

I’m from Surat, studied Economics and Computer Science at Ashoka University, and stayed on for a research year before coming to HEC Paris for my Master in Management. Along the way I’ve worked at EY, a foundation and an NGO, and now do research at HEC. Happy to help you think through master’s applications abroad, research vs. industry, or what to do with an econ degree.
