About Archana

I'm a first-generation achiever with a rich blend of academic and professional experience. I hold an MBA from Wharton and have spent approximately 5-6 years in consulting, specializing in Bain's Private Equity practice, with a focus on retail, e-commerce, and technology. My corporate journey has been complemented by my entrepreneurial spirit—I'm an early-stage investor in consumer tech and ed-tech startups across Southeast Asia and Ethiopia. Additionally, I've ventured into product management as a former Senior PM at Amazon and currently serve as a co-founder of an ed-tech startup, Pharos: https://www.bepharos.com/, dedicated to revolutionizing education.

Why do I coach?

I coach because I understand the significance of guidance firsthand, especially as a first-generation individual. I've felt the need for mentorship and support throughout my educational and professional journey. This personal experience has driven me to guide and empower others who may be in similar situations. Drawing from my academic excellence, corporate insights, and entrepreneurial endeavors, I'm here to provide you with the guidance and knowledge you need to succeed. Whether you're navigating the complex world of MBA applications or seeking advice on pursuing a career in consulting, entrepreneurship, or product management, I'm genuinely excited to share my expertise and support your journey toward success. Let's work together, collaborate, unlock your potential, and transform your aspirations into tangible achievements.
