If you fight for your dreams, your dreams will fight for you." Bryan Danielson 20th March 2018
This quote has lived rent-free in my mind and the last two years have been a testament to this.
When I decided that I will appear for CAT 2025 again, it was nothing but a uphill battle. There were days filled with confidence and excitement, but there were equally many days filled with self-doubt, uncertainty, and questions about whether I was doing enough. Like thousands of MBA aspirants, I spent countless hours studying, sacrificing weekends, plans with family, balancing professional responsibilities, and constantly pushing myself beyond what I thought was possible.
But looking back today, it all makes sense, it comes full circle. From manifesting to actually converting and being at the place to "B". I'm proud to say that I am joining Indian Institute of Management Bangalore PGP 2026-28 Batch.
I also realize that this achievement is not just mine.
It belongs to my parents, who taught me from a very young age that education is one of the greatest investments a person can make. No matter what challenges came our way, they always ensured that learning remained a priority. Their faith in me never wavered, even during the moments when my own confidence did.
It belongs to every teacher, mentor, friend, and well-wisher who encouraged me to keep moving forward.
And it belongs to every setback that taught me resilience.
And eventually, small efforts have compound into moment like this!
I have also been documenting my journey on YouTube: from preparation and interviews to the final convert. For anyone interested in seeing the complete story, my convert letter, and the welcome gift sent by IIM Bangalore, I've shared everything in my latest video. The link: lnkd.in/gqPWQZpG

Not all Promotions are just Title Changes | Some feel like a Hug to your Younger self | Celebrating Growth 🌱
Had you told my younger self that I would go on to be a part of Big-4 Consulting and become a Management Consultant, I wouldn’t have believed you. But then, from changing cities and chasing deadlines to client calls and coffee-fueled nights, life had some amazing experiences in store for me!
I’m beyond grateful to share that I was promoted from Analyst to Consultant last month at Deloitte USI. Over the last 2.5+ years, I’ve been fortunate enough to work across verticals and explore new business offerings.
Working with Senior Leaders and Subject Matter Experts at Deloitte (and alongside many folks through parallel projects and firm initiatives) has been a truly enriching experience. From day one, I’ve had the opportunity to learn from some of the most dedicated and talented individuals, and for that, I feel blessed and lucky. To my Younger self and Everyone who is aiming high, Showing up despite the hardships — This one’s for you :)
Excited for what lies ahead! Because in consulting — And in life — The learning never stops..
Until we meet next in Next video, Keep Hustling :)
