Round 1/Round 2 Application Sprint · Begins 8th August Co-thinking with Claude

Four weekends to a Round 1 or Round 2 ready application.

Four weekends, five deliverables you keep: Profile Map, Goal Statement, School List, Story Bank, and your first Essay Draft for one school. You walk out with the foundation every strong application stands on, clear on your profile, your goal, your schools, and your stories, plus a draft essay already in hand.

The full ₹20,000 is deducted from your consulting fee if you avail it within 30 days.

Two decades guiding applicants into Kellogg, MIT, LBS, INSEAD, Oxford, Cambridge, HEC, Ross, UCLA, USC, NYU and other top B-schools, built on a story-first admissions approach.

The Four Weeks

One deliverable a week. Yours to keep.

Every deliverable is built co-thinking with Claude, you leave knowing how to use AI as a thinking partner, not a shortcut.

Starts 8th August Weekends only, Sat & Sun, 10 AM

Week 1
Sat 8 & Sun 9 Aug

Profile, mined

We collate everything, then question it, to surface what your documents leave out.

→ Profile Map
Week 2
Sat 15 & Sun 16 Aug

Goal, stress-tested

Here to There to Reality. A goal built from where you are, where you want to go, and whether the market will hire you there.

→ Goal Statement
Week 3
Sat 22 & Sun 23 Aug

Schools, calibrated

A list built on goal-fit, not ranking, split into an India track and an Abroad track.

→ School List
Week 4
Sat 29 & Sun 30 Aug

Stories, surfaced — and drafted

We mine your profile for the stories that make you memorable, organised into your Story Bank, then turn them into your first essay draft for one b-school.

→ Story Bank + First Essay Draft

You leave with a first essay draft for one school. Full essay service across every school you're applying to, plus review rounds, is not part of this sprint. It's a separate, dedicated offering, 1:1 admission consulting, with a mentor who's seen thousands of admits, and it takes over from there.

A glimpse of Week 1

Co-think with Claude, right now.

Answer a few real questions from Week 1. Claude thinks with you and digs one layer deeper, one question at a time.

Claude asks
Let's start where the real story is. Forget your job title for a second: what's something you can do at work today that you couldn't two years ago?

Questions

Questions applicants ask

Working professionals applying in Round 1 or Round 2 for the 2027 intake who want a strong, structured foundation before deadlines hit.

Yes. The profile, goal and school-fit work runs independent of your score, so you can start here and prepare for the test in parallel.

It's a small live group across four weekends. The deeper 1:1 work begins later, in full consulting.

We get you to a first draft, not a finished essay. By the end of the sprint you'll have written your own first essay draft, for one b-school, straight from your mapped Story Bank. Full essay service across every school you're applying to, plus review rounds, is not part of this sprint. That's a separate offering, 1:1 admission consulting, which takes over from there with a mentor reviewing every draft.

Five deliverables you keep: your Profile Map, Goal Statement, School List, Story Bank, and a first Essay Draft for one b-school.

The full ₹20,000 is deducted from your consulting fee if you avail full consulting within 30 days of the Sprint.

A ₹2,000 refundable deposit reserves your seat. The balance is payable 1 to 2 days before the batch begins.

Reach out and we'll help you catch up so you still finish with all four deliverables.

Global and Indian B-schools, for Round 1 (around September 2026) and Round 2 (around January 2027) of the 2027 intake.

A free evaluation is a quick opinion. This is a structured four-weekend build with keep-forever deliverables, co-thinking with Claude, led by a mentor whose applicants are at Kellogg, MIT, LBS, INSEAD and more.
