Shantanu

Founder & CEO • INSEAD (17D)

Turning stories into standout admits

Shantanu is an INSEAD alumnus (17D) and Delhi College of Engineering graduate (2011 batch), where he ranked 2051 in an all-India pool of 1.1 million students. Before joining MBA & Beyond, he built and led ventures in entrepreneurship and product management, gaining hands-on experience in leadership, innovation, and growth strategy. Today, he combines this analytical and entrepreneurial mindset with empathy and storytelling to help candidates craft authentic, unforgettable MBA applications.

A Consultant Who Blends Data and Depth

Shantanu has developed an AI-powered tool that helps him identify each applicant’s unique strengths, values, and differentiators. This precision-driven approach led to a 100 percent interview invite rate in Round 1 this year. His process is not just about writing essays. It is about helping candidates discover who they truly are and how their stories connect with top global business schools.

The Shantanu Approach

Shantanu believes that personal stories, values, and turning points are just as powerful as professional milestones. Through deep, reflective conversations, he helps candidates uncover defining moments and shape them into meaningful narratives. His sessions often feel like conversations with a friend. He creates a safe space for self-discovery, where you can talk openly, reflect deeply, and craft essays that feel honest, human, and powerful.
