Helping PSU & Government Professionals Build Their Next Chapter
PSUTOPRIVATE (P2P) was created with one simple mission: To help experienced professionals from PSU and Government organisations unlock opportunities through India's leading one-year MBA programmes and successful corporate careers.
For more than six years, P2P has focused exclusively on understanding the unique challenges faced by PSU professionals and helping them confidently present their experience, leadership and potential.
The Problem We Set Out To Solve
In 2020, after graduating from the Executive Post Graduate Programme (EPGP) at IIM Bangalore, I noticed something that many people overlooked.
Professionals from PSU and Government organisations possessed exceptional aptitude, technical expertise and real-world leadership experience. Yet many found it significantly more difficult than their corporate counterparts to secure admission into India's leading one-year MBA programmes and later transition into corporate careers.
During the COVID-19 period, this gap became even more visible.
While professionals from consulting, technology and multinational companies often relied on previous corporate experience and professional networks, many equally capable candidates from PSU and Government backgrounds struggled to communicate the value of their experience.
The Problem Was Never Capability.
The problem was positioning.
Strong professionals often found it difficult to present their achievements, leadership experiences and career aspirations in a way that MBA admission committees and corporate recruiters truly understood.
That observation became the foundation of PSUTOPRIVATE (P2P).
Together with fellow graduates from IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore and ISB, we started building a mentoring platform dedicated exclusively to professionals from PSU and Government organisations.
Today, after more than six years, P2P has helped 93 professionals from 33+ public sector organisations secure admissions into India's leading one-year MBA programmes.
For nearly three years, P2P also contributed to placement support initiatives across ISB, IIM Calcutta and IIM Indore. This provided first-hand exposure to how MBA admissions connect with corporate hiring, helping us guide candidates not just towards MBA admissions, but towards meaningful long-term careers.
What Makes P2P Different?
Every MBA consultancy can explain an application process. P2P focuses on understanding the journey behind every application.
Built Specifically For PSU & Government Professionals
Every mentoring framework, discussion and strategy has been developed keeping the unique experiences of PSU and Government professionals in mind.
A Mentor Who Has Walked The Same Journey
Every candidate is mentored by founder Abhinav Sudhendra, who moved from nearly eight years in the Indian Railways to an IIM Bangalore MBA and a corporate career in product management.
MBA Admissions + Career Perspective
We don't simply help candidates secure admissions. We help them build applications aligned with long-term career aspirations after MBA.
Personal Mentoring, Not Templates
Exclusive Premium candidates get unlimited mentoring hours until their final results, and Comprehensive candidates get 15+ hours of one-on-one time for one college. Every hour is with Abhinav, never a junior consultant.
Quality Over Volume
Rather than working with hundreds of candidates simultaneously, we intentionally keep our mentoring personalised so every application receives the attention it deserves.
Candidate Privacy Comes First
Protecting candidate privacy is one of our core values. We never disclose personal information or success stories without explicit permission from the candidate.
The People Behind P2P
P2P is run by people who understand both the public sector and the corporate world because they have personally made the journey. All candidate mentoring is done by founder Abhinav Sudhendra.
Abhinav Sudhendra
Founder & Mentor • Senior Product Manager
IIM Bangalore EPGP • Ex-Indian Railways
Abhinav founded PSUTOPRIVATE after personally experiencing the challenges of transitioning from the public sector into the corporate world.
After spending nearly eight years in the Indian Railways, he pursued the Executive Post Graduate Programme (EPGP) at IIM Bangalore and successfully transitioned into Product Management.
Throughout this journey, he realised that professionals from PSU and Government organisations often possessed exceptional capability, but struggled to communicate their experiences in a way that MBA admission committees and corporate recruiters truly appreciated.
That realisation eventually led to the creation of P2P.
Today, Abhinav personally mentors every P2P candidate on profile positioning, career storytelling, application strategy, essays and interviews while continuing to work as a Product Manager in the technology industry. Since 2020, 93 of the 98 candidates he has mentored were selected (95%).

Shalini brings a perspective from the consulting world on what leading business schools and recruiters expect from experienced professionals.
Having worked in Business Consulting with a focus on Mergers & Acquisitions before completing her MBA from IIM Indore, she combines structured thinking with deep understanding of candidate evaluation.
As co-founder, she helped shape P2P's approach of aligning MBA applications with realistic post-MBA corporate careers. Candidate mentoring at P2P is done by Abhinav.
The Values That Guide Everything We Do
Our work goes beyond MBA admissions. Every interaction with a candidate is guided by a few principles that have shaped P2P since its inception.
Authentic Guidance
We never try to fit candidates into predefined templates. Every professional has a unique journey, and our role is to help present that journey authentically.
Honest Feedback
Sometimes the best mentoring comes from difficult conversations. We believe candidates deserve honest, constructive feedback rather than unrealistic promises.
Candidate Privacy
Protecting candidate privacy is one of our strongest commitments. Personal information, applications and success stories are never shared without explicit consent.
Long-Term Relationships
Many candidates continue to stay connected with P2P long after MBA admissions—for placements, career discussions and mentoring future applicants.
Quality Over Quantity
Because every candidate works directly with Abhinav, P2P works with a limited number of candidates every year so that every applicant receives personalised mentoring and timely support.
Continuous Learning
Every admission cycle teaches us something new. We continuously refine our mentoring approach based on evolving admission processes, recruiter expectations and candidate experiences.
