I would like to sincerely thank 7 Lakes Consultancy and Shahrukh Sir for their unwavering support throughout the GDPI preparation process. The entire experience was seamless, thanks to Shahrukh Sir’s personalized guidance and attention to detail, which proved invaluable. The preparation material was thorough, leaving no topic uncovered, with comprehensive subject dossiers that were extremely helpful.
7 Lakes truly pushes you to give your best. There were days when I didn’t feel like attending mock interviews, but the sir’s constant encouragement motivated me to show up consistently. Without even realizing it, I had completed so many mocks before my final interview that the actual day felt like just another mock session. This consistent practice helped me stay calm and confident throughout.
The preparation goes a long way—it not only prepares you for your MBA GDPI but also proves invaluable for your summer internship interviews. I highly recommend 7 Lakes Consultancy for anyone preparing for GDPI.

IIM Ahmedabad 2025-27
7 Lakes was the best decision I could have made for WAT-PI preparation. After CAT, I wanted to leave no stone unturned in converting my best calls, and wanted to approach the process with a high level of rigour. Shahrukh and his team matched this need. The detailed conversations on the main stories I wanted to highlight at the beginning, and then consistent mock interviews specially tailored to my level of preparation and profile thoroughly prepared me for the toughest interviews I could possibly have faced. One of the main highlights was Shahrukh going above and beyond to learn about my profile to be able to take detailed interviews. The level of personal attention was also excellent, and Shahrukh and the team will always be there throughout the process at each step, even with all the other mentees. I would absolutely recommend 7 Lakes to anyone who is serious about converting the best calls they get.

IIM Lucknow 2025-27
Preparing for CAT and gearing up for interviews is a completely different ballgame altogether. It definitely wasn’t easy to navigate the interview process, but 7 Lakes helped me master every domain I could be questioned on (in the format of every single college I got an interview call from). They constantly honed my skills, added new perspectives, and I experienced a genuine personal transformation. In the shortest period of time, my entire personality evolved. Thanks to Shahrukh Sir and his team, I truly couldn’t have learnt any better.

I really had a good time with 7 Lakes Consulting. A lot of questions asked were quite similar to our preparation for interview. The overall experience enhanced my communication skills and increased my confidence. I would strongly recommended everyone to stat their GDPI prep with 7 Lakes Consulting. A special thanks to Shah Rukh Sir. ❤️

Talking about B-school interview prep… the excitement of getting multiple calls very quickly turns into the stress of preparing for all of them. Between handling behavioural questions and group discussions to keeping up with current affairs and custom prep for each B-school, things were getting overwhelming for me fast. That’s why having Shah Rukh sir and Priyamvada ma’am with me was honestly the best support I could’ve asked for.
Shah Rukh sir has been a huge part of my journey, from editing my SOPs literally 30 minutes before the deadline to calming me down during my random breakdowns. What I really like about 7 Lakes is that every interview you give has a purpose. Since sir personally takes every second or third interview, he gets a very clear idea of your strengths and weaknesses, and knows exactly what to work on.
Plus, with their experience from previous batches, they know the exact kind of questions each B-school usually asks. Because of that, I can confidently say that very few questions in my actual interviews managed to catch me off guard.
From the first day when sir tries to understand your background to the last, when you’re picking between the different b-schools you converted, you’ll have unparalleled support. So if you’re just starting your interview prep, or even thinking about it, 7 Lakes is a great place to be at.
Ankita Patel
ISB 2025-26
I honestly had a really good experience with 7 Lakes during my GDPI prep. What helped me the most was how personal everything felt. It wasn’t just one mentor asking me standard questions. I got to interact with multiple interviewers from different top B-schools, and each conversation opened up a completely new way of thinking about guesstimates, geopolitics, behavioural answers, even resume questions. It really pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way.
Shahrukh sir was especially very supportive. He didn’t just “check” my SOPs, he actually sat with them, pointed out the tiny things I was missing. He gave feedback even outside scheduled sessions, which honestly meant a lot. The mocks felt like real interviews, and because of all this, I ended up cracking every interview I gave.
I would recommend 7 Lakes without a second thought. It gave me direction, confidence, and clarity at a time when I really needed it. Can't thank 7 lakes enough for it.
Kartik Verma
IIM Mumbai 2025-27
Every year, CAT comes with uncertainty and with it, the stress of clearing the CAT-PI process. Amid this uncertainty, I made one of the most successful decisions of my life of joining 7 Lakes Consulting. I started my GD-PI preparation with Shahrukh sir in January 2025. With limited calls, converting every opportunity was my top priority. The best part of being mentored by Shahrukh sir is the constant feedback and personalised guidance he provides. Daily news articles, unlimited mock interviews, and complete flexibility of scheduling help an individual make full use of the opportunity. If I were to summarise my entire experience with 7 Lakes Consulting, it would be: ‘The journey couldn’t have been smoother.
Nirjana Purkayastha
IIM Ahmedabad 2025-27
Before I started GDPI practice for CAT, I had given interviews only twice in my life, once for an internship and once for final placements during my UG. After 2.5 years in my first job, I was completely out of touch with interview skills, GK, UG concepts, basically almost everything.
After receiving strong recommendations from my entire friend group, I decided to start preparing with Sharukh sir and his team. The first few weeks were filled with disastrous interviews. However, with consistent and structured effort, I gradually saw my interview skills improve from average to decent, then to good, and eventually to a level I would call fairly strong. This journey led to conversions at BLACKISM, FMS, IIT Bombay, and MDI Gurgaon.
Even after taking admission at IIM Ahmedabad, the skills I developed continued to help immensely, both during summer internship placements and in last-minute interview calls for clubs and fests. Irrespective of your current level of preparation, this is an investment you will never regret.

I have had a wonderful experience with 7 lakes consulting and Shahrukh sir.
The GDPI course is the most extensive and practice oriented as compared to anything else I have heard from friends.
The regular GD's, WAT reviews and mock PI's not only helped me clear every interview I sat for in my first round but also helped tremendously when giving interviews and GDs during my summer internship placements.
I cannot thank the team enough for their dedicated support and over the top personalised coaching.
Adrija Mukherjee
IIM Kozhikode 2025-27
I had a really great experience with 7 Lakes Consulting. Firstly, I liked their initial assessment of my profile and how they clearly laid out my options. Secondly, they taught me how to play to my strengths in an interview, and the regular feedback helped me improve a lot in a short period. I can't thank Shahrukh and his team enough for the wonderful job they’re doing with interview prep.
Aayushi Agarwal
MDI Gurgaon 2025-27
Joining 7 Lakes for my GDPI prep was one of the best decisions I made (ROI wise as well). The mock interviews, mock GDs, constant WAT practice and one-on-one mentoring helped me sharpen my communication, gain a lot of confidence and handle interview pressure. Their feedback and college specific prep really helps in handling interview panels since they can be dynamic in nature depending on college. I highly recommend joining 7 Lakes!
Anisha Biswal
IIM Bangalore 2025-2027
Shahrukh Sir played one of the most defining roles in my GDPI journey, and looking back, his guidance truly made all the difference. I started the process with a lot of apprehensions and knew I needed the right mentor to make it through. Having heard great testimonials about Shahrukh Sir’s mentorship from multiple sources, I decided to approach him for my GDPI preparation and it turned out to be one of the most impactful decisions I made.
Throughout the preparation, he helped me dive deep into every single component of the process: from academics to work experience, personal answers to current affairs, soft skills to WAT. He pushed me to do better each time. Every mock and every WAT attempt was followed by an intensive feedback session, where he dissected even the smallest nuances, ensuring nothing was left to chance.
Across 25+ mock interviews, I learnt something new every single time. Sir was always there, patient, encouraging, and deeply invested in my progress. He constantly challenged me, making sure I wasn’t avoiding the tough, uncomfortable parts of the interview prep (many of which I actually faced in the real interviews). I also benefited enormously from the incredible network of mentors and alumni he brought in, each adding a new perspective and preparing me for different interview styles. The overall experience helped me uncover aspects of myself I hadn’t consciously articulated before.
A huge part of me making it to IIM Bangalore belongs to his mentorship, and I’ll always remain grateful for the confidence, clarity, and self-belief he helped me build.
Anshu Narwal
IIM Ahmedabad 2025-27
I joined 7 Lakes Consulting on a senior’s advice and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of my entire CAT-to-IIMA journey. By the end of my interview preparation, I could see a massive improvement in my personality—which, along with converting my dream call from IIMA, was the ultimate goal. Shahrukh Sir has been incredibly supportive throughout. He is always available, anytime I had a doubt or felt stuck, he guided me without hesitation. I gave 30+ mock interviews, and every feedback session was insightful and actionable. We thoroughly analysed my academics, work experience, and personality-related questions, which helped me develop clarity and depth in my answers.If I had to summarise it in one line: 7 Lakes Consulting is the ultimate one-stop solution for GDPI prep and I consider myself truly fortunate to have found it.
Aleya Ghosh
IIM Lucknow 2025-27
Joining 7 Lakes' GDPI program was a no-brainer for me as soon as I got my first B-school call. Having already heard such good things about Shah Rukh sir, I can say now that all the reviews you hear about him as well as the ones you'll read on this page will be proven true, because he genuinely goes above and beyond for YOUR preparation.
This program didn't just give me generalised feedback on my performance, but tailored guidance that helped me communicate my story and sharpen my skills. Looking back, the unlimited mock PIs plus college specific interview practice gave me a lot of composure and clarity during my actual interviews.
I am deeply grateful for his mentorship- not only because he helped me convert my best call but also because he helped me truly understand myself better in the process.
Aman Kumar
SJMSOM, IIT B 2025-27
My GDPI journey with 7 Lakes Consulting, under the guidance of Shahrukh, has been one of the most transformative learning experiences of my MBA preparation. Coming out of CAT, I knew that cracking GDPI rounds required far more than just knowledge—it demanded structure, confidence, clarity of thought, and a strong personal narrative. Shahrukh helped me build exactly that.
What truly stood out was his personalized approach. He didn’t just give generic frameworks; he understood my background, strengths, and gaps, and tailored every session to help me present the best version of myself. Whether it was refining my answers, strengthening my resume stories, or sharpening my communication style, the feedback was always honest, specific, and actionable.
The mock interviews felt as rigorous as real b-school panels, and each one pushed me to improve. The group discussion sessions were equally valuable—Shahrukh taught me how to balance content with delivery, how to listen, and how to contribute meaningfully without overpowering others.
Looking back, the confidence I carried into my final interviews came directly from this preparation. I walked in with clarity, composure, and conviction—qualities I built through 7 Lakes Consulting.
I am genuinely grateful for the mentorship and would highly recommend their GDPI program to anyone serious about converting their b-school calls.
Taranpreet Singh
ISB 2025-2026
I was very fortunate to have found 7 lakes during my gdpi prep
With the subscription, I did get all the materials, guidance and countless mock sessions- but most of all I got an able mentor in SRK, who was constantly available to clarify any doubts or just talk through the volatile times.
Yuvraj Singh
IIM Bangalore 2025-27
I first heard about 7 Lakes Consulting through my college senior who had converted IIM Calcutta, and he told me how Sharukh sir helped him to convert his best call, it immediately convinced me to give it a shot.Initially i had no clue where to even begin my prep, that’s where Sharukh sir helped me with a structured plan to tackle everything for interview.Their approach was truly holistic. We covered my academic and work background, current affairs, and even the small details I would’ve otherwise overlooked. the mock interviews played a huge role in building my confidence. Every mock interview taught me something new and pushed me to improve.
From teaching me how to stay calm under pressure to preparing me for every possible interview scenario, their support made all the difference. I genuinely credit a big part of my IIM Bangalore convert to their mentorship, and I’ll always be grateful for all the learnings which i will carry forward in future.
Surbhi Ranjan
IIM Kozhikode 2025-27
I joined Shahrukh sir’s course in January 2025, at a time when I was overwhelmed and unsure about how to begin my GDPI preparation. With so many subjects and topics to cover, the process felt daunting.
While most coaching institutes offered a fixed number of mock interviews, 7 lakes structured approach to mock interviews almost every alternate day, constructive feedback, and genuine mentorship truly strengthened my preparation.
From guiding me in drafting answers to HR questions to helping me prepare for domain specific grilling interviews, and even practice of WATs before every mock interview, Shahrukh Sir ensured I felt fully prepared and confident at every step.
I still remember being stuck in a dilemma when the interview timings for my best call clashed with another IIM. In that stressful moment, it was his guidance that helped me navigate the situation.
The support system here is incredible. I would especially like to mention the students across different B-Schools who take mock interviews, their feedback, experiences, and honest efforts genuinely make a difference.
I was able to convert 19 out of 20 calls, including my best call from IIM Kozhikode.
I’m truly grateful for the learnings, support, and confidence I gained by being a part of the 7 Lakes family.
Gaurav Sain
IIM Trichy 2025-27
I really appreciate the way everything you and your team guided me throughout the preparation time . Made me realise how easy it was to clear my every minute doubts if I had any .All the PIs and GD and even news column in that Excel that used to get updated everyday helping me with current affairs which I was really bad at all these things really helped me to get into IIM Trichy .It was really great insight of all the mentors and how smooth it was to schedule PIs (would say i didn't even had to schedule it as it was right there ready for me every 2-3 days with different mentors ranging from all the iims) Also am really grateful to you sir you have been an exceptional mentor throughout.
Jacinth Kaur
IIM Indore 2025-27
Enrolling with 7 Lakes consulting was one of the most impactful decisions I made for my interview preparation. What truly sets their program apart is its structured yet highly personalized approach. Shahrukh Sir and his team were consistently available and deeply involved throughout the journey. The mock interviews conducted after every two days challenged me with in-depth questions about my background, goals, and thought process, closely simulating real interview scenarios.
In addition to interviews, the focused GD sessions tailored to specific college formats and regular WAT practice (an area often overlooked) helped me significantly improve my articulation and structure of ideas. The feedback after each interaction was detailed and actionable, clearly highlighting areas of improvement and helping me refine my responses.
As someone who initially struggled with confidence, clarity, and formal interview delivery, Shahrukh Sir’s guidance helped me transform not just my answers, but also my overall presentation. With unlimited mock interviews, structured practice, and continuous feedback, the preparation felt comprehensive and confidence-building. I had a very enriching experience and would highly recommend 7 Lakes Consulting.
Gautam Ganeriwala
IIM Ahmedabad 2025-27
I wouldn't have reached IIM Ahmedabad without the guidance of Shahrukh sir. Taking 40+ interviews in 3 months while being a constant friend, mentor, and guide throughout the journey, Shahrukh sir didn't just help me get to my dream B-school, but also transformed my personality completely! Would definitely recommend 7Lakes to anyone prepping for interviews!
Deepak Mantri
MDI Gurgaon 2025-27
First of all, thank you Shahrukh sir.
I have been doing my dream MBA from MDI Gurgaon because of you.
I got your recommendation from my sister, she also took your coaching.
When I joined, my interview skills were very poor. I was not even able to describe myself without taking pauses.
Your continuous guidance, more than 100 interviews and GD preparation sessions made me capable enough to tackle any sort of problems one can face in an interview.
One thing I liked particularly was that if somebody was ready to put in some hard work, you provided the apt resources, like taking interviews even on alternate days and whenever required.
Thank you so much for the guidance, and sorry for the trouble I gave you during the earlier sessions.
You have been a very important part of my MBA prep journey.
Thanks again sir.
Prasanna Abhinay Arcot
SPJIMR 2025-27
My experience with 7 Lakes Consulting under Shahrukh Sir has been extremely fruitful. As someone who is introverted and not very comfortable with communication, the structured process helped me significantly. The initial questionnaire clarified how to approach key interview questions and frame answers effectively.
For the SPJIMR interviews, I went through 6–7 mock panels across both GI rounds, including sessions with alumni. Their feedback helped me identify gaps in my preparation and refine my responses. Support for other institutes, whether extempore, essay writing, or applications, was equally thorough.
Throughout the journey, Shahrukh Sir was patient, approachable, and consistently helpful. His guidance made the entire preparation process much smoother and more confidence building. I would highly recommend 7 Lakes Consulting to anyone looking for structured and effective interview preparation.
Dhruv Mahajan
IIM Lucknow 2025-27
My experience with 7 lakes was amazing, it is not just a regular GDPI preparation course but its a complete personality development program. Shahrukh sir has years of experience and understands what needs to asked in order to find the gaps in preparation. He will keep you accountable and push you to become better everyday. His team is also very good and knowledgeable. Overall an excellent experience that enabled me to convert my best call!
Vibhash Garg
IIFT Delhi 2025-27
Over the years, I have known Shahrukh sir as a mentor who has helped numerous students achieve their dreams through his constant guidance and mentorship. I am truly grateful to him and 7 Lakes Consulting for their support throughout my B-school applications and GDPI/WAT preparation. Even when I felt unsure after the CAT results, he kept motivating me to give my best, and his confidence in me never wavered. The personal one-on-one sessions ensured that I covered every possible topic that could appear in GDPI rounds, and his notes and structured methodology were exactly what was needed. The wide range of GD and WAT topics we discussed, along with the practically infinite number of mock PIs he conducted, prepared me thoroughly for the real interviews. Besides the academic part of interview preparation, he also helped a lot in selecting colleges and shared valuable insights about life in an MBA and thereafter, which was extremely useful as I had a clearer idea of what I was stepping into. Thanks to his mentorship at 7 Lakes Consulting, I was able to convert all my calls and finally join IIFT Delhi.
Mohit Agarwal
IIM Ahmedabad 2025-27
I joined the GDPI preparation program with 7 Lakes Consulting after CAT 2024, and it turned out to be one of the most enriching experiences of my journey toward B-school admissions. What stood out most was the program’s comprehensive and well-structured approach. From detailed preparatory material to over 30 mock interviews with in-depth, actionable feedback, I felt thoroughly prepared for every aspect of the interview process.
Another defining feature of the program was the constant availability and support of the mentors. Whether it was reviewing SOPs, refining answers, or simply having a conversation to manage interview-related anxiety, the guidance was always timely and reassuring. With this sustained support, I gained both clarity and confidence.
I am happy to share that, with the help of this program, I was able to convert interviews at all IIM BLACKI institutes as well as FMS. I would highly recommend 7 Lakes Consulting to anyone committed to putting in their best effort to secure admission to their dream B-school.
Kirti Agarwal
MDI Gurgaon 2025-27
I joined Shahrukh Sir’s GDPI course with zero clarity on how to begin my preparation. Looking back, it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. The regular mock PIs and GDs not only boosted my confidence but the personalised feedback helped me improve rapidly.
Prigya Sharma
IIM Kozhikode 2025-27
I joined 7 Lakes Consulting for my GDPI prep last year, IIM Kozhikode was my best call and guess what I converted it. The regular GD sessions were so insightful and one-to-one interview sessions not only with Shahrukh sir but the alumni of top IIM's helped me a lot in polishing my answers and present my story in the best way.
Riya Agarwal
IIM Lucknow 2025-27
I enrolled in GD–PI preparation sessions with Shahrukh sir, and the experience was extremely helpful. The guidance was structured, practical, and tailored to my profile. The mock interviews helped me refine my answers, improve clarity of thought, and build confidence. The feedback after each session was detailed and actionable. And there was sufficient prep content.
Overall, the service added clear value to my preparation and improved both my presence and performance in GDs and PIs. It was the right choice at the right time for me :)
Anjali Warrier
SPJIMR 2025-27
I had a great experience with 7 Lakes Consulting for my GDPI Prep! The entire preparation strategy felt quite personalized, and Shahrukh Sir was always happily available to help with any difficulties. Frequency of mock interviews and GIs is also tailored according to our needs and level of prep. Overall, very satisfied and highly recommended!
Siddharth Dewangan
IIM Calcutta 2025-27
I know many of you might be thinking would it be worth paying this much for interview prep. Trust me, my each and every penny was worth it. Being a introvert and poor in confidence while speaking, multiple mock interviews helped me gain the confidence and fluency in vocabulary. Regular WAT essays also increased my thinking capabilities and speed in writing.
Shahrukh sir is a gem of a mentor anyone can get. He personally takes regular mock interviews and gives constant feedbacks. He and his team make sure you put regular effort which ultimately pays off during interviews. Each and every aspect of topics of question gets covered depending upon what your profile is. Keep learning. All the best for your preparation.
Aayush Banka
MDI Gurgaon 2025-27
I think the kind of honest and genuine feedback Shahrukh and his team gave me during my mentorship period was super helpful. The clarity and thoroughness with which they pointed out my gaps and the way they guided me to fix them, made a massive difference in my GDPI preparation.
What also stood out was how real and grounded the conversations were. It never felt like a mentorship session, it felt like someone genuinely trying to help me get better. The small mindset shifts, the honest nudges, and even the tough feedback when needed made me look at myself more clearly. That played a huge role in how confidently I eventually walked into my interviews.
Sai Nikhil Musthyala
FMS Delhi 2025-27
My GDPI preparation experience with 7Lakes under Shahrukh Moin sir was personalised and valuable. The mentor was consistently responsive and provided actionable feedback throughout the journey, helping me improve from the very beginning.
I also received frequent mock interviews conducted by students from top B-schools, which proved incredibly helpful. All the essential resources were shared as well, and they were comprehensive and easy to use.
Overall, I would highly recommend this GDPI course to anyone looking for structured preparation and dedicated mentorship.
Abid Sulficar
ISB 2025-26
I reached out to Sharukh for help with my IIM MBA admissions interview as someone who was underconfident in my interview performance. While Shahrukh listened to my concerns, he didn’t let myself be limited by them and focused on practice and improvement from day 1. I gave 15+ mock interviews with Shahrukh and his team and received targeted feedback. The interviews were comprehensive – covering personal questions, work experience, career-goals, quantitative skills, general knowledge, and current affairs. He took care to schedule interviews with relevant people based on my career goals and target B-schools. He also provided directions on how to prepare for WAT and interviews. I could see significant improvements in my confidence, knowledge and communications skills over the next month, and I was able to perform on the interview day with zero anxiety. Shahrukh knows what he is doing and I would gladly recommend Shahrukh and 7 Lakes Consulting for anyone looking to prep for B-school GD, WAT and PI.
Rajat Garg
SPJIMR 2025-27
After the CAT result announcement, my next goal was to crack a top B-school, and during this phase, I came across Shahrukh Sir through a friend. The one-to-one sessions with Shahrukh Sir and several B-school seniors were incredibly insightful and well-structured. Their feedback was extremely valuable, and the mock interviews covered nearly all the topics that later appeared in the actual interviews. These sessions helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses, build confidence, and approach interviews with clarity - ultimately helping me convert B-schools. The preparation not only helped me secure B-school admits but also proved extremely useful during the SIP process.
Joining 7 Lakes Consulting was truly one of the best decisions I made.
Archit Sarkar
IIM Shillong 2025-27
My experience with 7 Lakes Consulting during my CAT GDPI prep has been nothing short of life-changing. I walked in unsure and unpolished, and walked out feeling like a far more confident, grounded professional. The constant handholding, the small nudges, the continuous support, and the thoughtful study materials made the entire journey feel manageable instead of overwhelming.
But what truly made the difference was Shahrukh Sir. His steady motivation, genuine care, and the way he believes in you—especially on days when you don’t believe in yourself—push you to grow in ways you don’t expect. I’m genuinely grateful for everything this program has helped me become.
Rakshana Ezhilarasi
IIM Ahmedabad 2025-27
Once the CAT response sheet came out, I knew I needed structured guidance for the interview phase. I heard about 7 Lakes through word of mouth and spoke to Shahrukh - his clarity and assurance before I enrolled gave me the confidence I was looking for. As someone who had never appeared for a professional interview before, the system at 7 Lakes helped me build everything from basic confidence to handling tough curveballs through regular, unlimited mock interviews. Their disciplined schedule kept me on track and played a key role in helping me convert calls from IIM A, B, C, K, I, and FMS.
Mudit Jain
SIBM Pune 2025-27
My experience with 7 Lakes Consulting for GDPI preparation has been excellent. You get to sit for multiple mock interviews with different mentors, and each one gives detailed, actionable feedback. Sharukh Sir, in particular, really helps build confidence and constantly encourages you to push harder.
For the GD sessions, you’re placed into dedicated cohorts for each college’s GD, and the mentors provide specific feedback on how to improve. This helped me plan my entries and structure my points much more effectively.
Overall, it was a great and a valuable experience.
Aakash Katiyar
IIM Calcutta 2025-27
I was never good at giving interviews; partly because of my fear of them and my inability to handle stress. At 7 Lakes Consulting, Shahrukh sir personally conducted interviews and guided me on what could be improved and what I was doing wrong. I participated in over 30 interviews, which helped me overcome my fear. The feedback he and the other mentors provided was extremely helpful and ultimately helped me convert IIM Calcutta
Riddhi Agarwal
IIM Lucknow 2025-27
I had an outstanding experience with 7 Lakes Consulting. The content and preparation material were highly focused and directly relevant. The PI and GD sessions were particularly valuable in simulating real interview environments.
The personal attention, structured preparation, and multiple mock interviews significantly boosted my confidence and equipped me to navigate all MBA entrance processe effectively.
Sir always gave personalised attention, made sure interviews were scheduled every alternate day, ensuring no student loses touch of preparation and made sure that we were consistent with our WAT practice as well, before every session. All these shaped the eventual conversion of all processes for which I was shortlisted. Really helpful
Aryashree Anshuman
IIM Ranchi 2025-27
My GD-PI preparation with 7 Lakes Consulting was a game-changer in my MBA journey. The personalised one-on-one sessions and 35+ in-depth mock interviews helped me refine my thought process, answer framing, and confidence across all aspects of the interview process. The detailed feedback on my GDs, WATs, and PIs ensured I improved consistently and stayed well-prepared for every institute call. Sharukh Sir’s guidance was insightful, structured, and motivating at every step, making the preparation both rigorous and enjoyable. With his support, I was able to convert most of my CAP calls and ultimately joined IIM Ranchi. I am truly grateful for the mentorship and the unwavering focus on holistic readiness that 7 Lakes provided.
Ananya Juneja
SPJIMR 2025-27
My experience with Shahrukh Sir’s interview prep was genuinely amazing. He made sure I was fully prepared from start to finish. We did so many mock GDs and practice sessions that by the time the actual process came, nothing felt new or intimidating. He covered every type of question that could possibly come up, and that really took the pressure off during my interviews. Overall, the whole prep felt very supportive, structured, and honestly made the interviews feel much easier.
Saarthak Jadon
IIFT Delhi 2025-27
7 Lakes Consulting has been instrumental in my GDPI preparation, be it endless sessions with shahrukh sir or mock pi's focussing on the weaknesses and working on every aspect of preparation from scratch in a very detailed and structured manner. Moreover Shahrukh sir has been the guiding force throughout like an elder brother and a mentor. 7 Lakes helped me polish my interview skills a lot and throughout the process exactly how i wanted and needed
Latika Dutta
IIM Ahmedabad 2025-27
Working with 7 Lakes Consulting
prepared me for my IIM interviews, despite having limited time and a full time consulting job. Whether through preparatory materials or mock interviews, the assistance I received was very comprehensive and covered all relevant aspects of preparation.
Simarpreet Singh
IIM Lucknow 2025-27
Having missed out on converting my best call in the previous CAT season, I was determined not to repeat the same mistakes. Joining 7 Lakes turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. It not only helped me convert my best call but all my calls.
Appearing for mock interviews every alternate day made me consistent, confident, and accountable. Coming from a niche work background, I particularly benefited from the depth of questions asked. Sir and his mentees had the right expertise to challenge me in areas that no other institute or senior ever explored. Their ability to go deep into my profile truly set them apart. I am genuinely grateful for his guidance and support at every step of the journey.
Keerthi Koneru
IIM Udaipur 2025-27
Before joining 7 Lakes Consulting, I was honestly overwhelmed. I knew I had to prepare for my Personal Interview, GD and WAT, but I had no idea where to start or how to structure my preparation. Everything felt scattered, and I wasn’t confident about the direction I was taking. Shahrukh Sir guided me with clarity, patience, and genuine mentorship—always scheduling sessions around my comfort and ensuring every discussion added real value. Each session felt like an eye-opener, helping me identify gaps I never knew existed and pushing me to introspect deeply about my experiences, goals, and narrative. All thanks to his dedication and personal attention. My journey with 7 Lakes Consulting has been more than just preparation—it has been a meaningful evolution, and I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor than Shahrukh Sir.
Harsh Daga
SPJIMR 2025-27
I got to know about 7 Lakes Consulting through a friend and was a bit skeptical at the start. Eventually, I had 17 total b school interview calls and I converted 100 percent of them thanks to Shah Rukh sir.
There were many famous interview prep resources but I was going for a relatively less famous resource which made me hesistate slightly. However, this very point turned out to be a huge boon eventually. Shah Rukh sir has a small batch and he devotes his full attention to each and every student. He helps you on an individual level at which other commercialized resources don't. He guides you at each and every step of post-CAT processes like resume building, applications, mock interviews, group discussions, essays and written aptitude tests etc. I am a student here at SP Jain Institute of Management and Research, Mumbai. The interview process for it was different than other b-schools and Shah Rukh sir tailored the sessions as per my need. The best thing is that there are unlimited interviews and discussions available and one can approach him without any hesitation. I would very confidently recommend him and would attribute my interview conversions to the time I spent with him. He is very helpful and has also helped me even after I came to the college.

I’m grateful to 7 Lakes Consulting and Shah Rukh sir for their structured and practical GDPI preparation. The personalised feedback, unlimited mock interviews, and having a proper structure to follow daily helped me understand exactly how to present my story. I could see the change in my confidence and content in the final mock interviews as compared to first one, which ultimately played a key role in helping me convert my IIM Kozhikode call and secure admission into a top B-school. I highly recommended 7 lakes consulting for anyone preparing seriously for their B-school interviews.

The mentors shared powerful tips and insider tricks to confidently crack MBA interviews and GDs. What I loved most was the unlimited practice sessions and mock discussions — they strengthened my communication and analytical thinking. Every practice interview felt more refined, helping me overcome hesitation and polish my responses. Overall, it’s an incredibly supportive, insightful, and result-oriented program that every MBA aspirant should join!

My experience at 7 Lakes was truly remarkable. From an underconfident guy who probably had no how to even speak in an interview to clearing more than 15 B school interviews from MDI Gurgaon to IIT Bombay. The guidance that Shahrukh Sir provided was so much helpful. At 7 Lakes, sir would take a huge number of GD's and mock PI's, that the actual day becomes so easy. I got so much help in writing my SOP's for admissions as well. I could call him at any time of day with even a trivial of doubt. At last I would say, clearing CAT is just half job done, for the rest you can trust Shahrukh Sir and 7 lakes.

My experience with 7 Lakes Consulting has been amazing. Shahrukh sir’s unwavering one-on-one mentorship was the pillar of my whole journey. From helping me structure my answers, refine my mock interviews, and build clarity for WAT/GD, to being there during my personal lows, he supported me through everything. His guidance honestly made all the difference.

I was extremely clueless when it came to GDPI prep after CAT. I faced severe context overload with the information available online, the variability was too much for me to make any sense out of it.
But with a friend’s recommendation (who is an XLRI 2025 graduate) I joined seven lakes consulting. Shahrukh sir did a thorough analysis of my then skill set and made a custom plan for me which was aligned to the colleges that I was targeting. With complete support regarding resources/mock interviews/alum connect, my performance improved considerably. I cracked the SPJIMR interview and a big chunk of the credit goes to Seven Lakes consulting. Shahrukh sir focused equally on knowledge and presentation. He simulated scenarios which were time bound to help become comfortable with the process. I was nervous during the interviews but I was happy I could articulate my thoughts and values accurately.
To anyone reading this, Seven Lakes consulting is absolutely worth it! If you are serious about your goals then this investment will pay off very well!

My experience with 7 Lakes Consulting was honestly very helpful. The daily routine of mock PIs on some days and GD practice on the others kept me consistent and gave me a lot of confidence. The material Shahrukh sir provides is clear, concise and extremely useful when you’re preparing under time pressure. Overall, the whole journey felt structured and supportive, and it definitely played a big role in my GDPI prep.

My experiences with 7 lakes consulting has been very enriching, insightful and smooth. The mocks done with current students from top IIMS really gave me interesting tips for my interviews. Moreover, Shahrukh sir is an incredible mentor. He makes sure all possible questions are covered, and that you are ready to handle all kinds of situations on the D day. Sir is also very readily available in case of doubts and has commendable experience with the Gdpi process at top MBA institutes. The mentoring, preparation and the numerous mocks helped me feel confident and charged up for all my MBA interviews. I highly recommend this coaching to anyone who is looking to get into a top college

When I joined 7 Lakes Consulting, I honestly had very little understanding of what kind of questions are actually asked in GDs and interviews, or even how to prepare for them. I was confused, underconfident, and unsure about my approach.
Shahrukh sir taught me how to structure my preparation, and what really matters in an interview. He patiently pointed out my weak areas, guided me on how to improve them, and gave very clear, practical feedback after every interaction.
One moment I clearly remember is an interview I had, just a day before it, sir spoke to me, motivated me a lot, and helped me calm my nerves. That conversation made a huge difference to my confidence going into the interview.
Interviews play a very important role in CAT preparation, and I genuinely believe that whatever clarity and confidence I carried into my real GD-PI rounds came because of his guidance.
What stood out the most was how approachable and supportive he was, taking my interviews as per my actual schedules and being genuinely invested in my improvement. I’m truly grateful to Shahrukh sir and 7 Lakes Consulting for the mentorship and support throughout my journey.

Joining 7 lakes turned out to be one of the most impactful decisions I made. The structured and personalized approach from Day-1 brought the much-needed clarity and focus in the midst of hundreds of materials. The mock interviews were frequent, realistic, and followed by detailed feedback. Every answer I gave was broken down to its core, helping me refine my thought process and present the best version of myself. What truly stood out was having a mentor I could reach out to anytime for doubts, guidance, or just reassurance. You could genuinely see the hard work behind every resource, the daily current affairs coverage, group discussions topics, content on recent topics. Huge credits to Sharukh sir and the entire community for helping me covert all of my 11 PI calls.

Shahrukh sir is one of the best mentors one can get for GDPI preparation. He ensures that each and every testable area is covered comprehensively in the mocks. A great feature of these sessions is some mocks with existing students of colleges, who can also help provide a perspective to their collge for someone to take appropriate joining decisions.

My experience with seven lakes consulting and Shahrukh Sir is nothing but exceptional, sir breaks down each and every nuance and helps you develop all the factors, like knowledge, body language, cohesion with thoughts and articulation preparing you for any and all interviews. Not just this, the multiple rounds of mock interviews for any institution you get a call from, guiding you through your insecurities and making the best pitch for you is all that a student needs. Finally, the team responds at literally any hour, resolving your queries which is in my opinion unparalleled. With sir’s help, I was able to crack not just SPJIMR, but literally all the interviews I sat for.

The extensive mock PIs and GDs helped me build confidence, improve answer structuring, and handle stress interviews effectively, which proved especially useful during SP Jain’s group interview. The program enabled me to articulate my thoughts clearly and respond confidently under pressure. The GD sessions conducted by Priyamvada mam were particularly impactful due to her structured approach and insightful feedback, while the rigorous practice sessions with Shah Rukh Khan significantly strengthened my overall readiness. Overall, this program played a key role in my GD–PI preparation and contributed meaningfully to my successful B-school conversion.

My whole journey with 7 Lakes Consulting turned out to be a real changer in my life. Under the guidance of Shahrukh sir, I not only acquired interview skills, but I also built up a whole new mindset. His support pushed me to question deeper, to think more critically and to enter every conversation with real curiosity instead of the practiced answers.
What really made the experience stand out was the extremely personalized aspect of the preparation. The mock interviews and group discussions were not just a matter of performing generic drills; they accurately replicated the real interview situations, both in terms of rigor and in terms of intent. The feedback was customized to my profile too, which allowed me to refine not only what I said but also how and why I said it.
This journey went far beyond cracking interviews. Shahrukh sir’s constant emphasis on asking “why” fundamentally reshaped my approach to learning and decision-making. It helped me evolve not only as a candidate, but as a person, and this helped me convert all my interviews.
Joining 7 Lakes Consulting was one of the best decisions I have made. It was truly a journey that began with 7 Lakes and ultimately led me to the campus with 7 lakes.
