Navigating the path to postgraduate education in the United Kingdom can be daunting, particularly for first-generation learners who may not have a clear roadmap. As someone who has successfully secured admission to institutions such as the London School of Economics, SOAS, IIT-Delhi, and the University of Oxford, I understand the challenges and uncertainties that accompany applying to these prestigious programmes. That’s why I’m offering a personalised service to help you strategically plan your application process, enabling you to approach this journey with confidence and clarity.


My own journey was filled with the same fears and unknowns that you might be facing, but through determination and strategic planning, I was able to overcome these obstacles. I’ve since been published in respected publications such as EPW, The Caravan, The Indian Express, and Himal Southasian, and have gained valuable experience working as a research assistant on a project by the University of Chicago and IIT-Delhi, focusing on bicycling and urban mobility in Delhi. I’ve also interned at IIIT-Delhi and am currently contributing to a social science collective, where I conduct research on urban climate action strategies and assist in producing knowledge products that bridge the gap between research, public policy, and societal action.


In this strategic planning service, I will:

- Help you identify and target the UK postgraduate programmes that best align with your academic and career goals.

- Guide you in building a strong application timeline that accounts for key milestones, such as preparing your Statement of Purpose, gathering references, and applying for scholarships.

- Offer insights on how to position your unique background and experiences in a way that resonates with admissions committees.

- Provide personalised advice on how to navigate the complexities of the application process, from selecting the right programmes to understanding the scholarship landscape.


This service is designed to demystify the application process and equip you with a clear, actionable plan tailored to your aspirations. I’m here to help you avoid the pitfalls and uncertainties that often come with applying to postgraduate programmes abroad, so you can move forward with confidence, knowing that you’re on the right path.
