KONSULT TASK 1

Task 1:

Write an SOP for Konsult Membership. Highlight your USP and what do you
plan to bring to the table for Konsult (max. 400 words).

The popular treatise on Management Consulting by Kubr states that an excellent


consultant has following qualities – outstanding intellectual capabilities, diverse
educational exposure, ability to understand & persuade people and emotional &
intellectual maturity. I am confident that I have all the above qualities & I feel that
being a part of KONSULT will give me an amazing opportunity to demonstrate the
same.

Even at the risk of sounding clichéd – I would claim that I LOVE problem-solving &
I am deeply passionate about Consulting (esp. strategy Consulting). I love the
intellectually diverse & multi-dimensional problems consulting exposes one to. The
big -picture approach, the planning, the discussions, the intellectual teamwork -
everything. I love it when people approach the problem from diverse perspectives &
logically battle it out to - jointly - reach to the 'best solution'. I plan to take
Consulting (& Strategy) as my career in the future & I am sure that being a part of
the coveted KONSULT group would provide me a great platform for the same. I
would love to learn - form the seniors, faculty, the guests, the resources &
expertise accumulated by KONSULT over the years.

But as is expected from a good consultant -I would like to make a logical , fact –
based, analytical claim to my membership in my dream interest group.

I, Pranav Shekhar, am an engineer, a teacher , a psychologist & more. Proceeding


chronologically, my academic record, clearly shows that I have always been a
sincere & intellectually capable performer. Having secured 90.8% in 10th, 86.4% in
12th, qualifying for the IITJEE & thereafter graduating among the top 5 in my
Mechanical Engineering batch with 89.35% - I am confident of my intellectual
capabilities.

Adding to above, I understand that Consulting requires a highly analytical mind that
approaches a problem comprehensively yet dissects it into its details & comes up
with a logical & systematic 'solution'. I can safely claim that my training at IITR has
equipped me with above skills. Infact, I love the above so much that puzzles &
problem-solving happens to be my favorite hobby as well.

Coming to the second requirement – I have a very diverse knowledge background.


My training in B.Tech equips me in technical domain. Thereafter, I did a self-study
in Psychology (for 2 years), which equips me with a strong ability to understand &
persuade people. It also, equips me with a high people skills which is so essential in
a team (both as a member & leader) in which most management consulting teams
work.

This is further complimented by the fact that I have worked as (Mathematics &
Physics) teacher for two years. This enables me to 'express & explain' complex
ideas & problems by breaking them into simple terms / concepts – a talent that
comes in pretty handy when discussing complex managerial problems with peers.

Adding to my above claims – I also claim to have a very diverse & rich knowledge
bank; something that really helps in dealing with the diverse problems that
consulting throws at you. I have prepared for (and almost cleared) the Civils exam
multiple times. This preparation requires one to undergo diverse knowledge
gathering – which I can very well apply – be it a public sector engagement on
energy project by Indian govt or a negotiation under international treaty of WTO or
ASEAN – I will have something to contribute. Always.

And to finally close my case, I would like to highlight my personality factors. I am a


matured individual (I am 28) who has an organized & matured approach to life. I
work well under pressure and am multi-dimensional & logical in my thought
process. I feel all this would bring in a stable yet highly innovative & productive
qualities to the team.

I feel the above facts satisfactorily explain & justifies my interest & claim to a
membership in my dream group.

Really really looking forward to having a great learning experience in the KONSULT.

Yours sincerely,

Pranav Shekhar.
