About me
Hi, I’m Kai. I got in from the most crowded lane there is.
I applied to business school as an Indian male IT professional. I was admitted to INSEAD, LBS, HEC Paris, Cambridge, Oxford and IMD, and I chose INSEAD. My journey ran through startups in Bangalore, AI in Tokyo, and now London, where I lead AI at a Series A startup.
After I made a video about my GMAT prep and getting into INSEAD, hundreds of people started writing to me every month with the same questions. I cannot answer everyone one to one, and I will not charge what consultants charge. So I packaged everything I know, and I built a clone of me to deliver it. That is this site.
Off the clock: Olympic recurve archery, and all forty-seven Japanese prefectures.
