About

A note to a parent,before anything else.

Every parent who calls me asks a different question, but underneath it is always the same one: are we already too late?

I have spent twenty-three years with that question. Nine of them recruiting for the University of Warwick, reading application after application from Indian schools. Six of them as the counsellor inside The Shri Ram School, sitting across from parents exactly where you are now.

Here is what all those years taught me: admissions rewards clarity, not panic. A student who knows what they care about, and can say it plainly, is read differently from one who has collected achievements.

So I will not sell you certainty, and the essays that leave this office will always sound like your child, only clearer. I will ask better questions, tell you the truth about where your child stands, and stay long enough to see the answers change.

Sometimes that is one call. Sometimes it is six years, from school to a master's degree. If that is the kind of guidance you want, start with a call. If it is not, everything on this page is free to read, and I hope it helps anyway.

Case studies

Their journey with Rhea.

These are not isolated admissions wins. They are continuing stories, guided from school decisions into undergraduate applications and, for Anya, postgraduate study.

Journey 01 · Guided by Rhea

One continuous journey with Rhea, from school profile building to King's, then back for Imperial.

Rhea guided all three turning points: finding direction at school, applying for undergraduate study, and returning for postgraduate admissions.

3 connected stages · One student · One continuing relationship with Rhea

Journey 02 · Guided by Rhea

One focused journey with Rhea, from shaping an authentic school profile to choosing NUS.

Rhea guided both stages: deciding what mattered during school, then carrying that story through five undergraduate applications and five offers.

We were there as the question changed.

Different schools, different countries, the same way of working: start with who the student actually is.

The final word

Founder & Counsellor-in-Chief

23 years in admissions, 1,500+ students. I take every call myself and nothing goes out without my eyes on it. The rest of this page tells you how I work, so here, let me introduce the people who make it possible.

Sofia Tyagi

Sofia Tyagi

Mission control

Head of Applications

Sofia keeps every application on schedule. She chases the drafts, the forms and the teachers who forget to send recommendation letters, and somehow does it without making anyone feel chased. By December, most parents are messaging her more than they message me.

Poorvi Vashishth

Poorvi Vashishth

The detective

Head of Research

Before a student spends a summer on anything, Poorvi has already found out whether it's worth it. She reads the fine print on every competition, course and internship, and she has talked more families out of expensive mistakes than I can count.

Kanika Marwaha

Kanika Marwaha

The second opinion

Senior Advisor

Every important call at UNI101 gets a second set of eyes, and they are Kanika's. She has worked with our students from profile building all the way to their admits, and when a decision is genuinely hard, a risky shortlist, an essay nobody agrees on, she is the one I think out loud with. Most consultancies don't have a person like this. I wouldn't run one without her.

Kabeer Marwaha

Kabeer Marwaha

Two years ahead

Head of Strategy

Kabeer reads every profile the way an admissions officer will, long before one ever does. He decides what leads, what gets cut and how the story hangs together. In our meetings, he's usually the one asking the uncomfortable question.

They relieved us of the stress both times by handling the entire process with utmost dedication. We felt more secure and confident working with them and we knew we were in safe hands. Both my sons were accepted to all of the universities to which they applied. The UNI101 team is simply amazing!
