Every student who walks through Figment's doors is guided by counsellors who have lived the journey themselves — IIM alumni, PhDs, industry veterans, and specialist educators who understand exactly what top universities are looking for. This is not a team of generalists. This is your competitive edge.
At Figment, we do not believe in volume. Every student is paired with the counsellor whose expertise is most aligned with their goals — ensuring the guidance you receive is always precise, personal, and effective.
An alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad — one of Asia's most competitive and respected business schools — Praveen brings rare strategic clarity and intellectual depth to every student's university journey. Armed with an engineering foundation from Anna University, he combines analytical rigour with a masterful command of narrative to build student profiles that admissions committees at Ivy League universities and elite institutions worldwide genuinely remember.
What sets Praveen apart is his extraordinary ability to find the thread — the single, authentic story that makes a student's application unmistakably theirs. His Statements of Purpose are renowned among Figment alumni for transforming a collection of experiences into a cohesive, compelling case for admission. Students who have worked with him describe the process as transformative: they don't just end up with a better application, they end up with a clearer sense of where they are headed and why.
His track record speaks for itself — a stellar record of placing students in Ivy League universities, top UK programmes, and leading institutions across the US.
Vinodh holds degrees from Anna University, PSG Tech (M.Tech), and IIM Mumbai — a combination of engineering depth and management acumen that is genuinely rare in a counsellor. Add years of real-world industry experience to that, and you have someone who intuitively understands what top business schools and engineering graduate programmes look for in experienced candidates.
He specialises in helping working professionals and postgraduate applicants translate their career histories into compelling, differentiated applications — making sure every year of work experience is positioned not as background, but as evidence of readiness for the next level. For students targeting MBA programmes or specialist graduate schools in the UK and Europe, Vinodh is the counsellor who turns professional experience into a genuine advantage.
Brindha is a graduate of Anna University and a former software engineer who spent years inside the technology industry before transitioning to student counselling. That real-world context is her defining strength — she understands the roadmap from a CS or AI degree to a meaningful career in technology, which means she helps students choose programmes that genuinely serve their long-term goals rather than simply chasing rankings.
She has guided dozens of students into top Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Data Science programmes at leading universities across the US and Europe, with a sharp instinct for programme-profile fit and a deep appreciation of what admissions committees in technical disciplines actually value. For students navigating the world of tech graduate admissions, Brindha is a rare counsellor who has been on both sides of the industry.
Dr Muniraj is a PhD scholar in Physics from Madurai Kamaraj University — a practising academic who brings genuine research depth to the counselling process. He is the counsellor for students who want to go further in academia, not just complete a degree. His expertise spans the full spectrum: school-leavers preparing for NEET and JEE, undergraduates applying to international programmes, and postgraduate students seeking doctoral positions at Tier 1 research institutions across the globe.
His ability to map a student's scientific interests to the right research group, thesis topic, or funding opportunity — and to articulate that match precisely in a research statement — makes him an irreplaceable guide for any student serious about a career in STEM. He does not just help students apply; he helps them understand where they are going and why it is the right destination.
Karthick is a postgraduate in Mathematics from Central University of Kerala, and one of the most distinctive professionals at Figment — because he is equally formidable as a test prep coach and as an admissions strategist. Having guided hundreds of students through SAT, GRE, and GMAT preparation, he understands not just how to raise a score, but how that score sits within the broader context of a university application and what it signals to an admissions committee.
This dual mastery — rare in any individual — gives Figment students a seamless, holistic experience: from the first practice test to the final submission, Karthick ensures that a student's academic performance and their application strategy are always working in the same direction. He has a sharp eye for the points in a student's profile that matter most, and an equally sharp instinct for how to surface them in a way that converts applications into offers.
Our team is not built from a directory of consultants. Every counsellor at Figment was chosen because they have earned the credentials, accumulated the experience, and developed the expertise to genuinely transform a student's chances.
