My name is Shaurya Puri, and I have around five years of professional experience across consulting and strategic research, including the last four years at Bain & Company. I completed my undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering from Shiv Nadar University.
Working with Admit Expert turned out to be one of the best decisions I made during my MBA application journey. From the very beginning, I was paired with Surbhi, an LBS alum, who worked closely with me on a day-to-day basis throughout the entire process. Her personalized mentorship, combined with the team’s rigorous quality checks and proofreading, ensured that every component of my application — from my CV to essays — was refined to the highest standard before submission.
I was also supported by Sudha, an extremely organized and dedicated project manager who kept me accountable throughout the journey and made sure I stayed on track with every deadline.
Our journey started in June 2025, when I had very little clarity about the MBA application process. We began with extensive brainstorming sessions, identifying key experiences from my life and shaping them into a compelling narrative for my essays. Whenever I felt unsure or believed that my stories were not strong enough, Surbhi’s thoughtful questions and structured approach helped uncover meaningful experiences and themes.
After developing a detailed 40-page brainstorming document, we moved on to shortlisting the right programs, building a business-school-ready CV, drafting LORs, and crafting the essays. Through what felt like hundreds of iterations, Surbhi and the Admit Expert team constantly pushed me to improve every element of my application.
I ultimately applied to INSEAD, ISB, and Oxford, and was fortunate to receive interview calls from all three. I successfully converted INSEAD and Oxford, which was an incredible outcome.
Looking back, partnering with Admit Expert was the most impactful decision I made during this journey. I would strongly recommend them to anyone planning to apply to business school.
