About Us

Our Story

It was April 2016. I had nearly given up hope of getting into my dream school. That evening, I did what I'd done every evening for months: checked my email for a decision. And there it was. My admit to Brown University.
Getting there took years of work: test prep, university research, essays, and more essays. Along the way I put it all in one folder: my resume, essays, transcripts, spreadsheets comparing universities, letters of recommendation. I called that folder "Project Ivy."
If I hadn't gotten into Brown, I probably never would have found my way into admissions consulting. Doing it for myself was grueling enough. I never imagined I'd end up doing it for hundreds of students, year after year.
Over the years I've learned a great deal about how admissions actually works, through trial and error, and I'm still learning. That's what gave me the confidence to build on my late father Professor Dr. Prasad Raju's legacy, and launched something bigger: Project Ivy.

What "Project Ivy" Means

The goal is simple: help every student complete their own "Project Ivy." Here, Ivy doesn't just mean the Ivy League. It stands for any high-quality university, anywhere in the world, that has the power to genuinely change the direction of a student's career and life.

We work with students applying to universities across the US, UK, Singapore, Europe, and India.

What We Offer

Three programs, built around where a student is in their journey.

Application Guidance
The Foundation Project

For 9th to 12th graders. Detailed career mapping, education counseling, and undergraduate applications, both abroad and in India.

University Admissions
The Specialization Project

For undergraduates and recent graduates. Counseling and applications for specialized master's programs worldwide.

Visa Services
The Transformation Project

For early and mid career professionals. Counseling and applications to top management programs worldwide.

Across all three, the goal stays the same: bring clarity, purpose, and real research into a process that's usually rushed and confusing, and help students get into the best programs in the world.

Work With Us

I personally run every one-on-one counseling session, with students and often their parents too, across every age group we work with. If you're figuring out your own Project Ivy, we'd love to help.
