After receiving the PI call for IIM Calcutta's MBA-Ex program, I was looking for experienced individuals who could conduct Mock PI sessions. I discussed with a few people and reached out to PrepShape. I had a brief conversation with Mr. Muzammil Hussain and he gave me valuable advice on potential interview questions based on my profile. Although I felt somewhat underconfident during my first Mock PI, Muzammil Sir and Abhik Sir helped me ease out the anxiety post Mock-PI and provided me a detailed feedback & tips that significantly boosted my confidence in subsequent mock interviews and proved instrumental in my IIM-C PI. Additionally, their insights on behavioural questions proved beneficial in other B-school interviews. I'm sincerely grateful to the IIM Calcutta alumni duo, Muzammil Sir and Abhik Sir, for helping me secure admission offers from some of the top B-schools. I wish Team PrepShape continued success in the future.

I reached out to the Prepshape Team just 5 days before my IIMC interview. Both Muzammil and Abhik first got on a call with me to understand my academic and professional background and also my target role and industry post MBA. Then the very next day, I had my first mock interview which went on for 45 minutes. Both Muzammil and Abhik asked me different sorts of questions. After the mock interview, they provided in depth feedback mentioning areas I am good at and areas where I need to work. This feedback was a 45 minute long conversation and it was really instrumental in helping me do course correction. We had one more 1.5 hour mock interview in a similar fashion. These mock interviews really helped me increase my interview stamina and helped me to introspect and come up with better answers. Abhik has product management experience and Muzammil has experience in consulting and supply chain. Their vast experiences facilitated my mock interview with a variety of questions and helped me think about things from a different perspective. Thank you Prepshape Team for helping me in interview preparation.

The PrepShape team helped me with interview prep and application review. Trust me they are very helpful, I just approached them through Linkedin and they were ready to help straight away for IIMC process. The PrepShaper took time after his work and we had mock interview post mid night and I did not feel any tiredness in his tone or him trying to finish it soon. It went for 1.5 hours and I had my feedback by morning. Cheers to the team.

It was a big task and new for me to wirte application essays. But this was made methodical by a PrepShaper. He guided me into the right direction which helped me think more and bring out points in the essays, which were relevant, and impactful. Thereafter, mock interviews with the PrepShape team helped me identify my strengths and improvement points. Following their feedback, I made great improvement, gained confidence and learned the art of story telling - all of which helped me secure admits from IIML and XLRI.
Thanks a lot PrepShape.

I connected with the PrepShape team while seeking guidance on my MBA interview for Indian B schools. They not only assisted me by sharing their own experiences, but also helped me by conducting a mock interview. It was my first experience and was bombarded with difficult but relevant questions. They also provided me with a well-documented response sheet with honest reviews. This response sheet and interview helped me a lot to face my IIMs - ISB interview, and put me in a comfortable position. The team put extra efforts on my profile and helped me crack ISB. Really appreciate their time and hard work; I hope PrepShape's initiative will help other B school aspirants too
Thanks a lot PrepShape.

I tried connecting with a PrepShaper through LinkedIn. He was really prompt in responding. I was really short on time during complete application process. I cleared GMAT 2 weeks before the application deadline and got a interview call within a week. I was looking for someone who could guide me through the interview process and expectations. This was the point where team PrepShape came to my rescue. The team agreed for a call on a short notice where one of them took me through his interview experience. I got the flavor of what all I can expect during the interview. He suggested me what all areas I should focus on in terms of general and background specific questions that can be asked. He also gave some useful tips on do's and don'ts which were really helpful. Biggest takeaway for me was the boost in my confidence. Before interacting with PrepShape I was really doubting myself on various parameters like GMAT score, work experience and complete profile. But after this interaction I was really confident of my candidature and believed that if I prepare well for the interview I really have a chance. I was in regular touch with him for clearing any doubts. Finally the day came and I must say that my interview went so smooth that I was 100% confident of my selection. My confidence didn't disappoint me and I got admission offer from IIMC. A big thanks to team PrepShape for all the guidance throughout. Wouldn't have been possible without them. Not only till interview, I still approach him for any kind of guidance required. Not sure of other other things but definitely found friends for life.
Thanks a lot PrepShape.

With barely a week to go before my application deadlines, I was just clueless as to how should I go ahead, what structure to follow, what all to be mentioned in the application and what all needs to be skipped. Sensing my nervousness, a friend of mine introduced me to PrepShape. I got in touch with them, and despite their busy schedule, they were so helpful right from the start. I was totally under-prepared with my applications and was almost hopeless, but they expedited the whole process and gave me a straightforward plan to follow. I got to know the art of power writing through the PrepShaper's feedbacks and reviews on my application. The advice he gave me and the essays he fine-tuned for me helped me in all my applications. He helped me with my interview preparation by conducting mock interviews. It was a seamless process and I would recommend their guidance/mentorship to anyone seeking end-to-end consulting right from getting a good GMAT score to finally receiving the desired admit.
