The acutely demanding environment of the contemporary professional landscape leaves aspiring individuals with no option but to upskill or retool through appropriate training or advanced studies. However, with a plethora of higher education opportunities in the reckoning, young and ambitious professionals find it difficult to make the choices that will best serve their purpose.

This challenging situation calls for the intervention of informed expertise that can guide aspirants in assessing and selecting the best course of action based on essential parameters that can be used to evaluate a candidate’s requirements, eligibility and expectations, from a comprehensive and result-oriented perspective. Such expertise is the asset that drives the activities of Essaysunday Consulting - an online admissions consulting firm that acts as a one-stop source of information and assistance pertaining to the global, top 50 post graduate programs in universities such as Wharton, Kellogg, INSEAD, Oxford,ISB and others.

“We have a very refined set of clients and these are high-achieving professionals, with professional experience ranging from 2 to 20 years, looking for globally relevant Master’s programs in business-oriented domains, delivered by the leading international universities. We handhold a candidate right from the time he/she starts thinking of applying, until the admit letter is in hand,” avers Prashant Tibrewal, Founder, Essay sunday Consulting.

The top universities ascribe a lot of importance to 'talent, skill and aptitude', beyond the past academic performance and test scores; and Essay sunday engages in a meticulous exercise designed to achieve the quintessential match for each candidate. The standard procedure involves brainstorming sessions that begin as soon as the applicant approaches the company and constitutes an end-to-end procedure starting with understanding the candidate’s personal and professional profile, discussing ways to enhance the profile, working together to identify the strengths and the elements of one’s profile that may be presented to the university through the SOP, Applications Essays, and developing the professional Resume. This is followed with a series of simulated interviews by senior consultants and industry experts. Through ISB mantra, the company provides specialized consulting, coaching

and detailed assistance (application, essays and interviews) to candidates for various part time and full time programs available at ISB (Hyderabad/Mohali). About 10 percent of the current batch at ISB has been mentored by the team at ISB mantra. Essay Sunday Consulting, on the other hand, assists candidates in making it to some of the top global programs such as those of Harvard, Stanford, INSEAD, and Oxford Universities.

A Hand-picked pool of Experts
To achieve the level of quality that EssaySunday delivers today, it banks on an array of enthusiastic experts, who mentor the applicants. The company engages consultants who themselves have studied and lived abroad and have extensive experience in their respective sectors. This exclusive, ‘personal consultant’ approach ensures a high degree of work-ethics and a strong commitment towards providing genuine advice and mentorship to the applicants. The organization meets all these entailments through its best-in-class panel of mentoring experts. These experts assist applicants in identifying the right programs, conduct brainstorming sessions to facilitate the development of Resume, SOP and other application requirements, and even aid them in identifying scholarship options available on different channels, pertaining to the chosen program.

Identifying and recruiting experienced consultants is the biggest challenge in the sector, as the majority of such individuals tend to settle abroad. EssaySunday’s unique Mentor-Consultant model, wherein each applicant is assigned a mentor and a consultant, proves to be a boon for aspirants and attracts a larger pool of experts, who derive personal satisfaction when they come on board. While the mentor supervises the entire process of application to ensure high quality, the consultant gets into the detailing of the application. The end-to-end online process attracts a clientele located across geographical barriers.

Shedding the spotlight on admission consulting for management programs, Essay Sunday not only constantly upgrades the skill-set of its experts and keeps them abreast of the latest developments in the global business education ecosystem, but also advances its internal processes to deliver an enriching and smooth experience to the applicants. Going the extra mile, the firm frequently organizes information webinars in collaboration with representatives from top universities. “We work with the best in the industry, and

are the only consulting company with four former admissions officials from ISB,” proclaims Prashant. As a member of AIGAC (Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants),Prashant believes in providing updated information to the candidates and puts in conscious effort to network and collaborate with current admissions teams of top international universities.

Building Trust
EssaySunday’s recent innovation, the Student Management System, allows extensive tracking and management of student profiles and success over the years. Essaysunday boasts of having a huge client base and has mentored 1000+ individuals from diverse profiles (software engineers, CA, bankers, army officers, doctors and so on), who desire to substantially enhance their careers in the corporate world. According to Prashant, the cornerstone of this exciting portfolio is a robust backend network of senior mentors and 30+ alumni from ISB and other top-rated business schools across the world.

The company focuses on building strong trust and credibility through different message boards and discussion forums online. Running its entire operations online, the firm tenders genuine and insightful guidance to candidates across geographies – from the remotest places in India like Bhilai, Jamshedpur and Ranchi to candidates based in countries like Australia, France and the US, seeking assistance in forwarding their MBA plans.

Besides conducting its core business, the team at EssaySunday contributes significantly in the education sector. Its philanthropic division – The Internet Literacy Program (ILP), aims to spread internet literacy among non-working women to boost their confidence and facilitate employment opportunities. The venture is also busy expanding wings into ancillary areas across the value chain. It is soon to launch the MBA Concert (an international MBA Fair) and India Study Trips for students visiting India from international universities. The organization, therefore, has achieved remarkable growth in the past few years and has made a name for itself by providing best-in-class, authentic, education consulting services.
