Who am I?

I’m Shaifali, Founder of Ivy Groupe, a leading boutique MBA admissions company. I help candidates shape their 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 and Poets & Quants 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.

What you'll find here:

✦ Storytelling That Signals: Insight into what makes an MBA story feel authentic, coherent, and credible.

✦ Judgment Before Strategy: Clarity on timing, readiness, and the decisions that shape strong applications.
