100 words
Vansh Gupta founded Plinth Education in 2026 after five years counselling students across India, the UAE, the UK, the US, Australia and Singapore. Educated at The Doon School and, on a scholarship, at Drexel University in Philadelphia, he built a counselling practice around a written method: diagnose the profile, choose two pillars, build research and competition evidence, argue it in essays the student writes, and land a funded admit. Students he has worked with were admitted to Dartmouth on a full scholarship, Stanford, Cornell as a Tata Scholar and UNC with a 90 percent scholarship, and earned top-one-percent John Locke commendations. He publishes his prices and never shows student faces.
