    Who am I?

    I’m Shaifali, Founder of Ivy Groupe, a boutique MBA admissions company. I help candidates shape an authentic story for elite MBA programs – one that reflects how they think, decide, and lead, not just what they’ve done. I’ve been recognized by Business Insider as a top MBA admissions consultant.

    My perspective is shaped by my own experience at Harvard Business School and years of working closely with MBA admissions candidates.
