What Students Say

★★★★★

"Vatsal's approach is completely different from the many mainstream consultants I spoke to. He believes in your profile, pushes you to introspect deeply, and never settles for mediocre output. He was genuinely invested in my success even as a re-applicant, and gave me the personalized effort that I wanted from my consultant. I made it to Stanford GSB thanks to him."

PV
Parul Verma
MBA, Stanford Graduate School of Business
★★★★★

"Working with Vatsal was the single best decision I made in my MBA application process. He has a natural gift for story telling, and figuring out what your ultimate pitch should be. He deeply understands what each school is looking for. He kept refining my drafts and by the time we submitted, I felt we had submitted the best possible version. Stanford was my dream school and I still can't believe I got in."

MV
Meghna Vasudeva
MBA, Stanford Graduate School of Business
★★★★★

"Even though I had hired a prominent American consultant, I always went ahead with Vatsal's perspective. His creativity, his conviction in my profile, and his ability to weave multiple stories across my professional experiences was just at a different level. He saw angles in my background that my American consultant had missed entirely. I could not have gotten into Harvard Business School or Wharton without Vatsal's unwavering support and mentorship."

SS
Sanchie Shroff
MBA, Harvard Business School
★★★★★

"I came to Vatsal thinking I had a weak and unconventional profile: no corporate experience, no brand-name employer or extracurricular activities. He completely reframed how I saw my own story and clearly articulated the richness of my entrepreneurial experience. By the time we finished, I had essays I was genuinely proud of. Columbia & INSEAD were dream schools and Vatsal was the first person I told."

AA
Anish Agarwal
MBA, Columbia Business School
★★★★★

"Because he has actually studied from Yale and worked in the US, his approach to my applications was much more nuanced and differentiated than many other consultants I had spoken to. Working with him was a very collaborative process, and he helped me get into Yale SOM with a significant scholarship. I continue to take his advice on securing a job because of his practical experience on navigating the job market in the US."

SP
Shashwat Prakash
MBA, Yale School of Management
★★★★★

"His interview prep and profile enhancement advice alone was worth everything. Vatsal raised the bar of the entire application process and shaped my career narrative in ways I could never have done on my own. When I submitted my applications or walked into the actual Kellogg interview, I felt genuinely confident and prepared."

GD
Geetanjali Dhakar
MBA, Kellogg School of Management
★★★★★

"I only wanted to apply to two Master's programs in finance and honestly wasn't sure if my profile was differentiated enough for either. Vatsal invested a lot of time in understanding my professional background and helped me bring out how my profile was unique compared to other applicants. That framing shaped every essay I wrote. I got into both schools I wanted to and it still feels surreal."

AL
Advait Lath
Master's in Asset Management, Yale & Master's in Financial Economics, Columbia
★★★★★

"I had spent years moving across non-profits, public policy, and the corporate world, and had no idea how to add them up into a coherent application story. Vatsal never once suggested I downplay it or dilute it. Instead, he helped me build an entire narrative around the career transition I wanted to make and why my different experiences were an asset rather than a liability. My applications came together in a way that felt genuinely mine. I didn't sound like anyone else, and I think that was the point."

TT
Tanvi Tharad
MPA SIPA & MBA, Columbia University
★★★★★

"As a Yale-trained economist who worked at the IMF and World Bank, Vatsal knew exactly what a Master's in Economics application should look like. He helped me frame my research interests in the correct manner and made my application come across as intellectually serious rather than generic. He pushed me to be specific in ways I hadn't been, and that specificity showed up in every part of my application. He also coached me on scholarship positioning and I ended up receiving substantial scholarship offers. The many conversations about fit and which program would best serve my long-term goals were also invaluable."

Why Students Choose Nahata Education Partners

We think of ourselves as partners, not admission consultants. That elevates how we approach your applications.

🎓
Insider's Perspective

Compared to many consultants, Vatsal has gone through the exact process of applying to top universities and successfully cracking them. We deeply understand what it takes to crack the most prestigious universities. This is reflected in our track record of getting our clients selected into Stanford, Harvard, Wharton and others — and why serious applicants choose to work with us.

🎯
Personalised & Customised

Every application is built from scratch around what makes you genuinely distinctive. We don't apply generic frameworks and invest the time to know you deeply, and what would make you stand out.

❤️
Emotional Investment

When we work with a student, we genuinely believe in their profile and their odds of success. You will also find this in the way we approach your story building. We don't treat our students as customers or account numbers, and because of our intentionally limited intake, we devote our creative bandwidth thoughtfully to each student.

✍️
Storytelling & Narrative Building

Our true strength lies in our ability to precisely match the exciting and unique elements of your profile with what schools are looking for. If you work with us, we will take you through a genuine introspection process that brings out the best in you.

🔒
Limited Intake

We don't work with everyone and carefully select the students we wish to work with — this allows us to devote our talents into securing their future. We think of ourselves as the artisanal Italian restaurant in your neighbourhood that pushes the frontier rather than the mass-scale pizza chain meant for everyone.

🤝
