About

A trusted advisor.

Blue Canvas was founded in 2024 to coach a small number of students, one-on-one, with the judgement of someone who has spent a decade deciding who gets in.

The coach

Vineet Sabharwal

Vineet spent close to a decade at Ashoka University, latterly as Head of Admissions, where he interviewed more than 3,500 applicants and ran workshops on liberal education for schools across the country. He knows what an admissions committee is actually reading for, because he was the committee.

Before that, twenty-two years across McKinsey & Company in consulting and Hindustan Times in media, and a Chartered Accountancy qualification — a background that shows up in how strategy, evidence and narrative are handled in a student's application.

He teaches every session himself. There is no associate layer, no batch, and no template.

What we believe

Four convictions that shape every programme.

Coach the student, not the application

An application is a by-product. If the thinking is real, the essay, the test and the interview all become easier.

One-on-one, always

Batches optimise for the provider. A cohort of one optimises for the student, and lets the work move at their pace.

Say no clearly

We do not coach standard SAT or CLAT, and we tell families when a programme is not the right fit. Honest scope is part of the service.

Parents are partners

Regular check-ins, candid assessments and no theatre. Families make better decisions when they can see the evidence.

Each student carries within them a unique story that needs to be discovered and shared with the world.
