Hello, I'm Gaurav Bhosle, a former McKinsey Germany consultant and founder of Being Consultant. I’ve coached 2,250+ professionals across 55+ countries to break into top consulting firms through a structured yet deeply personalized coaching approach.

My unique 360° coaching philosophy combines deep experience:

  • Ex-Consultant: As an Ex-McKinsey consultant, I bring a genuine insider's perspective on what firms like McKinsey, Bain, and BCG truly look for.
  • Recruiter: With experience running a Strategy & Consulting recruitment firm and hiring on campus, I bring insider knowledge that helps you prep exactly the way top firms assess candidates today.
  • Certified Career Coach: I am an International Coaching Federation certified coach with 90% success rate. I identify your unique strengths and build your prep around them, ensuring you stand out.

My unique value proposition has helped me deliver the following type of results:

1. Supporting Every Background to MBB: I’ve coached candidates from the most unconventional paths, including an opera singer, a US Marine, and scientific researchers, into top MBB firms.

2. Adapting to Every Timeline for MBB: From last-minute one-week crash prep to multi-month structured preparation, I’ve successfully guided candidates across all timelines to MBB offers.

3. Offering Multiple Preparation Paths to MBB: I offer a flexible mix of free resources, group-based programs, and targeted 1:1 coaching, allowing candidates to choose an approach that fits their needs without compromising results.

Let’s discuss over an introductory call how we can customize your way to your dream consulting firm

  • I use a personalized, 360° coaching philosophy focused on transforming you into a high-performing consultant, not just an interview-ready candidate.
  • Instead of creating “textbook clones,” I identify and amplify your unique strengths to help you stand out authentically.
  • With active recruitment experience, I give you insider insight into what interviewers are currently looking for and how evaluation criteria evolve.
  • My Intermediate Feedback Model ensures deep, targeted corrections from the very first session so you build strong habits fast.
  • Beyond case prep, I support you on fit interviews, communication, and CV refinement to make your entire application MBB-ready.

Interview Coaching
Gaurav's coachinf session was incredibly helpful - he was friendly and flexible in his approach and provided very detailed and thorough feedback which I will definitely be incorporating into my practice. One hour with Gaurav was more effective than a lot of the prep I have already done and yet I feel like I only scratched the surface, so I would highly recommend. Thanks for your time and advice Gaurav - it was all super useful and will make a huge difference to my approach now.

Interview Coaching
I had a very helpful session with Gaurav on the fundamentals of case cracking. The focus was on how consulting firms really evaluate candidates, not just on frameworks. His advice on firm-specific CV positioning was clear and immediately useful. We also worked on how to lead a case confidently, structure the problem well, and show creativity in a way that feels natural during interviews. The session was practical, grounded in real interview experience, and made me feel much better prepared for upcoming consulting interviews.

Founder & CEO
Being Consultant
2023 - now

I founded Being Consultant with a simple idea: people shouldn’t just crack interviews — they should learn to think, communicate, and solve problems like real consultants.

Our focus goes far beyond landing an offer. We help you build the consulting mindset, strengthen your problem-solving fundamentals, and navigate the entire consulting journey - whether you’re preparing to break in, aiming to excel once you're in, or planning a strategic transition out.

If you’re looking for depth, clarity, and practical coaching grounded in real consulting skills (not shortcuts), you’ll feel right at home.
