"...Her guidance felt less like formal mentoring and more like an elder sister genuinely invested in your success..."

I recently came across Kasthuri on LinkedIn while searching for guidance related to Imperial College London and Faculty of Medicine scholarships. I reached out to her hoping for some direction, and from the very first interaction, she was incredibly kind, approachable, and genuinely willing to help. Unlike many others who either do not respond or say they don’t have the time, Kasthuri took the effort to understand my situation and encouraged me at every stage of my application. I later booked a 1:1 consultation through Topmate, and that session made a real difference. She has a deep understanding of how scholarships work and how to craft applications that truly stand out. More than just technical advice, what stood out to me was her empathy and honesty. She didn’t just review my application; she believed in it and helped me see my own strengths more clearly. Her guidance felt less like formal mentoring and more like an elder sister genuinely invested in your success. She is patient, supportive, and very sharp when it comes to strategy and clarity. If you are serious about scholarships and want someone who will guide you sincerely and thoughtfully, Kasthuri is an excellent mentor to work with. I’m truly grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone navigating competitive scholarship applications.

About me
Hi, I am Kasturi. Since the age of 12, I knew I wanted to be in academic research (specifically in neurodevelopmental disorders and genetics). The path? That I wasn't sure of. With guidance from seniors, professors and chance encounters, I tried unfolding what lied ahead, and landed a BSc in Hansraj College and an MSc in Imperial College London (with multiple offers and scholarships across UK). However, through recent conversations with students aspiring to dive into a research career, I saw dreams that lacked proper guidance, dreams that lacked articulation. I saw myself in those conversations, lost and trying to find the right advice...
Having experienced the journey firsthand, I love helping students navigate theirs through my learnings while I navigate mine. So, if you are someone who wishes (and is confused) to start their academic journey, gain research experience and dreams of studying abroad with a scholarship, I am here to help, I am here to share everything I have felt and known throughout!
