Dear Sir/Madam
Warm Greetings.
After four years of a challenging, yet fun‐filled life of an IITian, the one realization that I can
make out at this juncture is that consulting is the best career path for me due to the promise of
growth, diverse challenges and the stress on people and communication. As a consulting firm is
based on the premise of diversity and used as a great problem solving tool, I trust it is the best
place to seek the kind of attributes I want to develop. I have also come to believe that I have
developed a strong set of skills that will help me to fit into a consultant’s shoes.
Completing a major part of my schooling in an international environment in Saudi Arabia made
me realize at a very early stage of my life that I enjoyed meeting new people from diverse
ethnic backgrounds and I feel the cultural exchange played a vital role in shaping my
personality. Besides a strong academic record, my analytical skills are further demonstrated
through scholastic achievements like two research publications and the prestigious ‘Summer
Undergraduate Research Award’. From participating in a play for the first time in my life as a
fresher in IIT to receiving the ‘Outstanding Contribution to Dramatics’ by the Institute four years
later, I feel I have come a long way. Each new play meant working with a different group of
confident and fun‐loving people, learning from them and making some long lasting friendships.
My strong affinity towards leadership and team work is also evident through various positions
of repute and responsibility held throughout my academic career – be it leading a hostel of 500
as the House Secretary or organizing North India’s biggest cultural and technical festivals in the
capacity of a Coordinator.
I am highly impressed by Parthenon’s entrepreneurial approach towards strategic consulting.
Sharing client risk and being accountable to the client through consulting for equity is truly
commendable. Parthenon’s rare two‐case model maximizes my exposure to global businesses
and is best suited for my desire to learn how they operate and succeed. All the consultants at
the Parthenon Pre‐Placement talk appeared humble, kind and fun loving. The nicety that
Parthenon seeks in its employees was clearly visible. The small size of Parthenon’s Mumbai
office and yet the huge clientele it caters to across Asia means increased responsibility and
consequently more experience for me thus making it my foremost choice for a consulting firm.
I hope that you will give me a chance to be a part of the Parthenon family and contribute to the
continuing success of the group.
Eagerly awaiting your response,
Yours sincerely
