I'm currently a BCN employee (& an MBA from IIMS) with ~1 year of experience, I want to move to front end within India ASAP, however, MBBs don't really seem an option as they seem to prefer ABC grads.

Next best option is frontend in the Big4, however, what I want to know is that is there something between the Big 3 & Big4 which could be almost as good as entering a MBB but not settling for Big 4.

Example - Companies like EYP (they don't exist in India anymore), but are there similar comapanis?

Umm.. those something in-between firms are even more stingy about which campuses they hire from.
Giving you 2 examples
1. EY-P: Only hires from ISB, IIM A, B
2. OW: A,B,C only
MBB also hire from FMS, XL, K, L
At your tenure of one year, the chances of you making it to big 3 is more than EY-P, OW, LEK etc

Realistically, your best bet will be to stay at BCN and move to front end there - tough but has happened before

like

Kearney, Accenture, LEK, Oliver Wyman, A&M, and a few others...but the caveat here is that there are pockets in the big 4 that may have better work. So do some homework before choosing.

As Mck 1 said, your best bet is MBB itself. I know for a fact that after spending ~2-3 years at BCN you can interview for Bains fronted. Other decent option is deloitte S&O (also similar big4 groups)

Glad I could help. Lol I don’t think deloitte in anyway is the top employer, could be the biggest but definitely not top. Major strategy consulting is done by the monitor group(only hires from IIM ABC, ISB). Don’t really have clarity on S&O myself. S&O is pretty complex, there are groups within that do strat work(mostly tech) and then there are middle office role.

Service design seems a popular role in consulting in the past year or so, certainly seeing more grads go down this route. Is there much overlap with business analysis? When I’ve worked with service designers the output seems to be another version of a process map, are there other skills and experience needed? I’m wondering how easy a move would be from business analysis to service design...
