Soumyadeep Pal (GMAT Focus Edition - 715)

Harsha has been a guiding angel for me during the last prep of my GMAT journey. Initially, I contacted him to assess my strength in CR. But after just one session, he was always there for me throughout. Whenever I had any doubts or needed help with anything, he was more than happy to help and guide me. I still remember that during the sessions, he was always smiling and ready to support me. His friendly nature, calm demeanour, and willingness to help are some qualities that are rare to find these days. He was there to support me up to the last day before my exam, and because of his wholehearted support, I am able to score 715. His contribution to me isn't just limited to GMAT but much more than that. I am truly grateful to him for his constant support and guidance.

Renuka Barsila (GMAT Focus Edition - 715)

I had given the GMAT 4 times and still away from my target score. Totally demotivated, had tried all types of online courses but couldn't see the results. I reached out to Harsha when I was not a tutoring student, but he generously helped with test analysis and strategies. When I did take a few sessions with him, he showed me the weaknesses and the tiniest tidbits that I was missing and leading to the 615 plateau. Harsha is the best mentor I could have asked for during my GMAT prep for verbal! He has an amazing, systematic approach towards CR and RC, and he really made verbal prep fun for me. The verbal concepts of the new DI section felt manageable because of him Result- 96th percentile in RC, 90th percentile in verbal and a 715 overall- on my 5th attempt. It was finally done, and a major reason was his mentorship and motivation. He is a great sounding board who cheerfully gets you to think and put in the work. The results follow. Definitely recommend him :D

Aakanksha Das (GMAT Classic Edition - 740)

Harsha was my guiding light through the entirety of my GMAT journey! As a mentor, he was not only able to help me identify learning gaps with the precision of a sniper but also offer practical solutions or carve out paths that catered to my learning journey. His critique was always spot -on, his suggestions were super helpful, he allowed for debate and dialogue and above all - offered compassion in the wake of long days of toil. He truly went above and beyond whilst guiding me through my gmat journey and in the process - taught me a thing or two about myself too. I'd highly, highly recommend working with during your prep if you get the chance to - chances are, the lessons you learn in the process will remain imprinted - long after you're done with your exam!

Tawqeer Munshi (GMAT Focus Edition - 655). Improved Quant to Q85.

Harsha is an amazing mentor, a guide who lives through the journey with you. Every time you ask him a question, he would have 4-5 ways to explain it to you, thus opening your mind about different ways to solve a problem. He pushes you, helps you in understanding concepts, helps you identify your weak areas and gives you a plan to overcome these. He has mastered GMAT, its concepts, and understands deeply what it takes to succeed at this exam. I 100% vouch for him!

Varun Athreya (GRE - 326)

When I went to Harsha - I had attempted GRE 5 times and failed to get my ideal score in all attempts. Harsha understood every aspect of my strengths and weaknesses and empathised with my way of learning and guided me patiently for the next 3 months. I eventually got the score and totally credit him for changing the way I approached the exam.

Siddharth Kandpal (GMAT Focus Edition - 675)

I reached out to Harsha when I was about to give up on gmat since I wasn't scoring well even after months of prep. Harsha was kind enough to review the way I was doing questions. Encouraged me to keep practicing and even solved a bunch of questions that I had solved to compare accuracy and timing. He is a great mentor!

Hinal (GMAT Focus Edition - 655). Improved Verbal to V85.

After multiple sub-600 GMAT attempts and consistently scoring below 80 in Verbal, I was feeling completely stuck and demotivated. A friend recommended Harsha and I’m so glad I reached out.

In just 3-4 focused sessions, Harsha carefully reviewed my approach, pinpointed exactly where my thought process was breaking down, and helped me correct it even on the toughest questions. His targeted feedback transformed how I tackled Verbal, leading to a 85 on my next attempt.

But what truly set Harsha apart was his incredible support beyond the technical side. When I was losing hope after repeated low scores, feeling isolated because no one around me truly understood the frustration, Harsha kept me going. He had this way of reframing setbacks, reminding me that ‘maybe it just wasn’t your day’ and always helping me see a fresh ray of hope. He went far beyond what I paid for, providing genuine encouragement and belief in my potential when I needed it most.

If you’re struggling with Verbal (or the mental side of GMAT prep), I can’t recommend Harsha highly enough. Thank you, Harsha!”

Rishika Shah (GMAT Focus Edition - 635). Improved Verbal from V72 to V83.

When I started studying for GMAT/CAT, I joined a generic class with 20+ students in a batch. I had no idea what CR or RC was truly testing me on and the classes didn't help much. I used to get a few questions right here and there, but I didn't know why I was right when I was right or wrong when I was wrong. I connected to Harsha Sir after watching his live session on GMAT Club, I called him we spoke for 30 mins and we scheduled an online meeting the next day. Harsha sir was the first person who guided me in the right direction by telling me what framework I need to follow for studying and how accuracy across matters more than how much you solve. He believed in me when I couldn't and he helped me figure out what I needed to work on to improve my VA scores. I started with a score of VA 72 and got a VA83 on the GMAT in less than 4 months. Harsha sir was my support system during this process, and I'd always be grateful to have him as my mentor.

Jaival Shah (GMAT Focus Edition - 645). Improved Verbal to V82.

When I started preparing for the GMAT, I genuinely thought Verbal would be my strong suit. I’ve always seen myself as someone who approaches arguments by considering assumptions and facts.

Little did I know how easily the GMAT could trap me. I fell for the same mistakes many test takers do. I took coaching but that didn’t help.
Desperate for a solution I scrambled across the internet.

That’s when I came across Harsha through the GMATClub YouTube channel. What really made a difference was his focus on foundations — not just what method to use, but when and why to use it, and how the GMAT tries to trick you. That clarity rebuilt my confidence in Verbal.

Without his guidance and structured approach, I can confidently say I wouldn’t have made it to my dream school and course, the HEC MiM.

Nishiketh G (GMAT Classic Edition - 730).

Harsha sir played a pivotal role in helping me achieve my target GMAT score, especially at a point when I felt I had plateaued. After two attempts where my verbal score remained stagnant, I reached out to him for guidance. His sharp insights into critical reasoning and reading comprehension helped me pinpoint my weaknesses and build the right analytical approach to tackle CR and RC questions. Thanks to his mentorship, I was finally able to secure admission into my dream college. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone struggling with Verbal Ability—his support truly makes a difference.

Rituparna Dey (GMAT Classic Edition - 710).

Harsha has been a great mentor throughout my GMAT Journey. He inspired me to believe in myself when I couldn’t. Only a ping away, always ready to help with his amazing strategies and be a guiding light, a mentor like Harsha truly makes a difference. I was able to make it to my dream B-school, and will forever be grateful to Harsha for his guidance :)

Vedant P (GMAT Focus Edition - 645). Improved from Q66 to Q81.

I've learnt a great deal from Harsha during my GMAT preparation journey. He has a calm, reassuring presence that makes even the most challenging parts of prep feel manageable. What truly stands out is his accessibility—he’s always just a message away, and he regularly checks in to see how you’re progressing. That kind of consistent support makes a huge difference. As an engineer himself, Harsha immediately understood the problem-solving approach I was taking. More importantly, he helped me recognize where that approach was limiting me and guided me toward more effective strategies. His insights were both sharp and practical, and they played a crucial role in improving my performance. Harsha doesn’t just teach the GMAT—he understands the emotional and mental demands of preparing for it. And that makes him an exceptional mentor.

Shakeb Ajaz (GMAT Classic Edition - 710).

I worked with Harsha during my GMAT preparation and he was one of the reasons why I could get to my desired score in the Verbal section. Right from the 1:1 sessions on CR and RC sections, through to helping me improve, refine and fine-tune my ability, using skills such as visualisation, to get to a 10-point improvement within 3 months, his support was paramount in my GMAT journey. I vividly remember the interaction I had with Harsha during my 1:1 marathon sessions. He ensures that you're comfortable sharing your weaknesses with him, helps you identify your weakness and works with you to actually understand the improvement areas. He puts himself into his students' shoes, considers their weaknesses as his own, and actually helps them improve by pin-pointing the exact issues with them. I highly recommend Harsha to anyone looking for a GMAT mentor, and I can vouch for his dedication and diligence in helping his students ace the exam.

Deepti Sharma (GMAT Classic Edition - 680).

I reached out to Harsha at a time when I needed more of a counselor than just a mentor. While there's no doubt that he's an exceptional GMAT Verbal instructor, what truly sets him apart is his ability to help you see what you can’t. I had hit a wall in my GMAT prep — I had gone through all the resources, tried every strategy, and still wasn’t moving forward. My confidence had dropped so low, I was missing simple words like “not” in a sentence. That’s when Harsha stepped in. I began recording my thought process while solving questions and would share the videos with him. He patiently went through every detail, offering thoughtful, constructive feedback that not only improved my approach but also helped me rebuild my confidence. Harsha didn’t just coach me on Verbal — he helped me believe in myself again.

Mohit Kakar (GMAT Focus Edition - 645).

Harsha was super helpful during my GMAT preparation. He really took the time to understand where I was struggling and worked with me step by step to improve. I really appreciated his thoughtful approach and consistent support throughout.

Ridhi (GMAT Classic Edition - 750).

A single one-on-one session with Harsha revealed the power of visualization, which transformed CR into a much more manageable aspect for me.

Ajitesh (GMAT Classic Edition - 730).

Starting from RC, Harsha is the guy here! Everyone has a tendency to be uncomfortable in the essays which are from fields/subjects unrelated to your profession. But Harsha got you covered here. From learning the importance of pause points to pre-thinking, I was able to get rid of my fear of those healthcare and historical essays.

For CR, this is the toughest part in GMAT. So you want the best here (Harsha is your guy again). From starting with zero bold face questions right to getting all of them right has been an incredible experience.

J Karnik (GMAT Classic Edition - 740).

Determined to make one final attempt, I concentrated intensely on Sentence Correction (SC) and Critical Reasoning (CR), which were my weaker areas. During this period, I received valuable insights from Harsha which significantly improved my CR skills from the 65th percentile to the 92nd percentile.

Tushar (GMAT Classic Edition - 740).

What was really very helpful was a 1-1 session with Harsha. Harsha was kind enough to spend an extensive amount of time with me and identify gaps within my CR and RC sections. His suggestions for performing solid answer choice analysis and visualizing through examples have been of immense benefit to me.

Navneet (GMAT Classic Edition - 760).

I scored 690 in my first mocks and 710 in the next two mocks, still lagging in my CR ability. That’s when Harsha Sir guided me in a one-to-one session, pin-pointing my CR faltering points. I then scored 740 on my last mock.

Kevin (GMAT Classic Edition - 700).

We had call of more than 1 hour where he (Harsha) deep dived on my approach towards CR. This session was mind-blowing. It’s amazing having the opportunity to talk with an expert on a topic like him. He made it evident where I need to focus the majority of time with a really detailed diagnosis.

Sagnik Saha (GMAT Focus Edition - Improved Verbal to V84 with 100th Percentile RC).

Dear Harsha Sir.
I must say I had attended a GmatClub session of yours in CR thinking of it as just another session but I’m glad I attended it. After spending ~2 years and lakhs of rupees on GMAT coaching, the thing that changed my perspective and gave me a 100 percentile in RC and 100 percentile in MSR was your webinar on RC KEY WORDS. That 1.5 hr session changed things completely for me. It just changed the verbal prep altogether and I started seeing patterns in RC passages. And your private tutoring sessions helped with CR too. Your placid and sanguine nature actually expedited the entire learning journey for me. Another small sneaky trick that helped me was your BOARD ROOM APPROACH to CR Arguments, so much so that I was able to nail a difficult paradox question in less than 1.5 mins. Thank you, Harsha sir for helping me reaching a V84.
