Hello,
I graduated in 2010 and was selected in Bosch via campus. I was one among 23 people to be selected for this in India.
It is a special scheme known as the "TMT scheme" where we are put under fast track growth.
I had taken up the GMAT last year with a score of 660 (Q49,V31).AWA 5. IR 6. I was not very interested in pursuing an MBA with 2 years work exp then and had given the exam just so that i could finish it. (Im given to understand the score is valid for 5 years)
My toefl score was 113.
This year i retook the Gmat with all seriousness as i wanted to get an admit for the 2014 batch. Scored 710 (Q48, V38) AWA 6 . IR 7.
I am targeting the top schools and would like to pursue Marketing (Product management).
Berkeley Haas, UCLA, Ross, Tuck , LSB were some of the schools i was looking at
Do not know how far fetched a dream this is with my profile
My short term goal is to work in a service based industry after my MBA in product management.
This would help me gain the necessary skill sets and knowledge which would help me accomplish my long term goal, starting a service based company to provide a long term substantial fix and improvement to small scale industries in turn improving their profitability and growth.
My work profile currently is as follows
• A part of the global purchasing team, responsible for Electromechanical commodity parts .
• Decision maker for a purchase volume of 2100 MINR.
• Responsible for development and management of vendors.
• Working with multiple vendors to determine the best deals for the company, and evaluating the pros and cons of each, based on price, quality, speed of delivery and other factors.
• Responsible for development of alternate sources for critical components.
• Conduct annual price negotiations .

• Key user for data management
My extra curricular activities
• Completed A1 in German.
• Play guitar for a semi professional band
