The Blueprint to Crack MBB as a Fresher | Decoding Consulting Ep 03 ft. Ayush Madhogarhia (IIM L)

Описание: Welcome to the third episode of "Decoding Consulting," where we continue to decode the secrets of breaking into top-tier management consulting firms with real, unfiltered insights from top B-School talents.

In this episode, we sit down with Ayush Madhogarhia, a PGP2 student at IIM Lucknow. Joining one of India's toughest B-schools as a fresher right after his BBA from SSCBS (Delhi University), Ayush cracked a summer internship at Bain & Company and successfully secured a full-time offer as an Associate Consultant.

We dive deep into what consultants actually do in the real world (featuring a fascinating breakdown of how legacy companies like HUL implement GenAI), and exactly what MBB firms look for in a candidate. Ayush unpacks the holy trinity of profile building: Academics, Prior Work Experience (and why brand names matter), and how to build undeniable "Spikes" through extracurriculars.

Ayush also drops an absolute masterclass on structured communication using Barbara Minto’s The Pyramid Principle, proving why how you say something is just as important as what you say. Finally, he shares how he consciously engineered a unique MBA journey—from going on a student exchange to running a campus entrepreneurial venture (G&B Gossip and Bite)—and leaves MBA aspirants with his top 3 rules for B-school survival.

Whether you are a fresher worried about having zero work experience, a current MBA student aiming to stand out, or an aspirant dreaming of the MBB life, this episode is a goldmine of actionable strategies and real-world truths.
