Meet The Founder

Founder’s Corner

“Renuka Aunty – I got in!” Four words that make the hours, weeks, months and even years of planning, nudging, ideating and editing all worth it! Navigating students towards the school of their dreams, through waters that can at times be smooth, and at others turbulent is what Renuka does best.

Having worked extensively with middle and high schoolers in the American school system as a teacher, coach and mentor, Renuka forms an excellent rapport with her students, understanding their aspirations and strengths and she works with them to ensure that their applications are strong, authentic and unique. She hand-holds both students and parents through every step of this journey, encouraging students to think outside the box and keeping them on track. Her students have been accepted at some of the top universities in the US, UK and India.

Renuka has lived in the US, China and India and she has worked in Sales, R&D, Quality and HR consulting. She loves to travel, read and meet new people. Renuka holds a master’s degree in Molecular Biology from UMass Dartmouth and has also completed an executive management program from XLRI. Renuka remains in close touch with her former students, drawing on their knowledge and experience to support her current cohorts. Her two original students, her daughter and son, graduated from Ivy League universities and also engage with her students, as does her husband who works for a U.S. based company.
