LilacBuds Crosses 250 Admits to Top 50 Global MBA Programs for 2025 Intake Redefining Premium Mentorship at Scale

LilacBuds, a premier global education consulting firm, is proud to announce a significant milestone—over 250 admits to Top 50 MBA programs globally for the 2025 intake, with clients earning placements in some of the most selective and prestigious schools in the world. This year also saw scholarship awards crossing $3 million, affirming our approach to delivering high-impact, personalized mentorship at scale.
This moment is not just a celebration of numbers; it’s a reaffirmation of our commitment to elevating aspirants’ journeys through deep mentorship, strategic application crafting, cutting-edge technology, and meaningful university partnerships.
Impact Across the World’s Top MBA Programs
Our admits span every continent and all major MBA hubs—from North America and Europe to Asia. Candidates working with LilacBuds gained acceptance into M7 programs such as Wharton, Booth and Kellogg, as well as S10 programs like INSEAD, LBS, HEC Paris, Yale SOM, UVA Darden, and Cornell Johnson.
Reflecting on this achievement, Rajiv Ganjoo, CEO and Co-founder of LilacBuds, said:
“We’re thrilled to see our candidates succeed at the highest level. What’s particularly satisfying is that we’ve done exceptionally well across multiple fronts—strong admits across traditionally top MBA programs, and a solid admit outcome in deferred MBA and dual-degree programs. Our results validate our belief that high-quality, individualized mentorship makes all the difference.”
This success is built on our ability to craft a journey for each applicant that is strategic, introspective, and aligned with global admissions trends. Every resume line, essay paragraph, and mock interview is guided by consultants who have themselves graduated from and worked at similar top-tier global institutions.
Mentorship That Goes Beyond the Application

At LilacBuds, we take pride in how deeply we engage with our clients. We don’t believe in formulaic applications or superficial strategies. Instead, we invest time in in-depth brainstorming sessions, goal alignment exercises, and storytelling development that help each applicant bring forward their most authentic and compelling self.
This personalized approach is supported by our stellar team of MBA admission consultants—many of whom are alumni of top MBA programs and have sat on admissions committees themselves. Whether it’s advising on career transitions, building leadership narratives, or preparing for alum interviews, our mentors bring insight and empathy to every interaction.
Differentiating with Technology and Scale
With an increasing number of applicants each year, maintaining depth while scaling impact has been a key focus area. To that end, LilacBuds has invested heavily in proprietary technology tools that enhance efficiency, transparency, and collaboration between mentors and applicants.
Preyash Shah, CPO and Co-founder of LilacBuds, emphasizes:
“What sets us apart isn’t just our people, but also our platform. We’ve built tools that allow us to track candidate journeys, provide quick turnaround and feedback, and analyze performance trends across applicant cohorts. It’s how we deliver white-glove, high-touch consulting—at scale. Tech is the silent enabler behind the quality we promise.”
Our intuitive digital interface ensures that candidates can work with mentors seamlessly, schedule calls, share drafts, and monitor deadlines —all in one place. Combined with our unmatched human expertise, this creates a powerful blend of accessibility, structure, and personalization.
Leveraging Strong University Relationships
Over the years, LilacBuds has also developed strong relationships with AdCom teams of top universities through active collaboration and engagement. We’ve hosted over 20+ exclusive webinars to help students discover new destinations and gain insights into the study abroad experience. So far over 1500+ applicants have attended virtual info sessions with admissions officers, alumni panels, and career consultants from schools like ISB, IESE, CEIBS, INSEAD, Bocconi, Wharton, Oxford Saïd, and more.
These sessions give our candidates direct access to information that goes far beyond what’s publicly available, helping them better understand the values, expectations, and evolving trends at each school.
“Our university relationships are not just about brand affiliation—they’re a bridge between our candidates and the real stories behind every program. Our webinars give them a front-row seat to what truly matters to schools today: impact, authenticity, and clarity of purpose,” adds Rajiv.
This inside track also allows us to stay on top of changing application criteria, emerging dual-degree options, and evolving post-MBA career trends—all of which directly benefit our applicants.
