Why Consulting?

I have always been excited with the prospect of driving small and large corporations to action and enabling them to become more successful. To me, consulting is at the heart of this. Not only does a career in consulting give me a chance to meet a wide variety of people but it also keeps my intellectual faculties stimulated.

Why Bain?

Bain is a fantastic platform to build a career in consulting in a completely supportive environment. Bain culture fosters creativity and is deeply rooted in meritocracy. This makes the job truly fun. At Bain, you work with people who you know you can hang out with. Further, Bain's collaborative and results-oriented consulting approach differentiates it from other consulting firms.

How is Bain India office unique?

The variety of clients across sectors and ranging from mid-sized firms to large scale corporations is unique. The quality and strategic nature of CXO-level problems we address in India are much more exciting, when compared to those in more stable, developed markets.

Interests outside work.

I love listening to music, generally rock and pop. I love to travel for leisure and collect coins from post-20th century era. I enjoy partying and I am learning to play golf.

Advice for prospective applicants.

Prepare well for the cases to demonstrate analytical strength and the ability to deal with ambiguity in a very practical fashion. It's good to demonstrate that you genuinely enjoy solving problems and that you have a clear motivation for joining consulting. Bain pays a lot of importance to whether one will fit in with the firm's culture, so do not hesitate to highlight your interests and extra-curricular activities.
