The Story
Samyukta completed a Summer Associate engagement at Bain and Company, one of the leading global strategy consulting firms. The stint gave her structured exposure to how large consulting engagements are run: how to frame a problem, structure an analysis, and communicate recommendations to senior stakeholders.
The experience reinforced her preference for leading with the answer and backing it with evidence, a communication style she has carried into every subsequent engagement. It also gave her a baseline for what rigorous strategy work looks like at scale, which she has since applied in leaner, more resource-constrained environments where she has had to do the same quality of thinking with far fewer resources.
