Bhawna’s knowledge and expertise be it helping with the essays or with the interview preparation was truly impactful for me. Her focussed feedback helped me a lot to prepare for my IIM A interview and clear it. I want to sincerly thank her for all all the support and guidance over the last month that helped me to get into the IIM A PGPX program.

When I was on the lookout for IIMA interview preparation services, I fundamentally needed someone who could trust me throughout the process and provide candid feedback. Bhawna just did that. An IIMA alumnus, Bhawna had a deep and expert understanding of the school and the qualities they look for in the applicants.
Regardless of the application outcome, one counselling call with Bhawna makes you feel more worthy than you think you are, and that according to me is job half done. I truly and completely recommend Bhawna for B-School consulting. Wishing her all the very best. Onwards and Upwards!!

It was a pleasure working with Bhawna for my ISB admission process. We covered all aspects of my profile during interview prep and the level of mocks was definitely harder than real Interviews. she asked me a lot of tough questions during my interview and helped me structure answers better.
Her feedbacks were detailed and meaningful.
Finally have made it to ISB and can’t appreciate her enough.
Thank you Bhawna.

I reached out to Bhawna for advice on my MBA journey sometime in September 2022. While I had approached multiple consultants, the advice Bhawna gave me was assuring yet critical and honest. It changed my whole perspective on GMAT, applications, recommendations and most importantly the interview process. As honest as I can be, I went ahead to avail Bhawna’s services because she looked at me as an individual – understanding my strengths and weaknesses and not just another candidate. I loved her tailor-made advice and approach to my entire application. She added life to my SOP’s & essays and nudged me to think differently through the process. She also helped me build a strong CV, something I had not done for the last 8 years. Bhawna had a huge role to play in me securing 6 admits out of 7 applications to B-schools.
I am extremely grateful to Bhawna for her guidance to make it to India’s top B-school – IIM A. I certainly believe that my interview had a large part to play in the admit. The rigorous training on the interviews that I received from Bhawna was very well structured and focused on highlighting my strengths and passion. She provided honest written feedback after every mock interview and also worked with me closely to improve my weak areas. She was always available not only to help me prepare but also to calm my anxiety. Bhawna has very strong time management skills and I hope to learn that from her too!
I highly recommend Bhawna’s venture – “TheOneYearMBA” to anyone looking to take the academic plunge and also to anyone seeking career advice. The best part is – you can reach out to her at any stage of your MBA journey and she will curate solutions and growth plans for you. Kudos to you Bhawna!

When I connected with Bhawna through a reference of my friend, I had already given interviews for some B-School courses but was not prepared enough. During discussion, the first thing I sensed was that she truly desires to help MBA aspirants. The paramount expectation from a mentor is to provide a safe platform to build trust and respect and I found Bhawna acing it. I found Bhawna structured in terms of her approach to understand the status of the applicant and then provide him with relevant preparation guidance and material. Her guidance in the ice breaking session was enlightening to bring myself out while answering the questions. Most importantly her unique way of making a participant record his session or mock first then listen to it before going through the descriptive written feedback shared helped me absorb the feedback constructively. Having deep insights of MBA admission processes, Bhawna was always reachable and dedicated towards preparing to give my best at the interviews.
I strongly recommend any one year MBA aspirant to reach out to Bhawna for the Admission process preparations

I worked closely with Bhawna while preparing for an MBA interview for IIMA PGPX and ISB. She conducted a couple of mock interviews with me and was able to highlight my shortcomings and also my strengths. I was able to bridge the gaps and improve my performance in the subsequent mock interviews.
She is brutally honest with her feedback, and the written feedbacks were constructive for me to realize my strengths and weaknesses. I found her highly structured, and she completely understands the process. I was able to make it to both schools, and I recommend her to anyone who is preparing for top MBA programs

Bhawna helped me introspect certain aspect of my personality that I deemed unimportant. She also made me realise that the points I deemed important are somewhat cliched and common. It’s no wonder that Bhawna made it to all the top B Schools in India, yet it is her humility that is the most appealing. Look forward to working with you soon
