Thank you for taking the time for reading this, I'm truly grateful for your insights.
25M, Indian. 5 years work ex.
My journey so far:
Core experience: learning design & program management, sectors: education, public policy, edtech & e-comm
In my current role, I'm leading partnerships & growth for an international edtech org (I consistently engage with North American markets). The most exciting part of my role is deploying scalable solutions towards launching innovative product categories. On a daily basis, my role informs value proposition closely for operations, product development and learning design. 90% of my colleagues are from Tier 1 B-Schools (international as well).
An entrepreneur at heart, I independently deployed last-mile solutions for the UNDP's 2030 Youth Force through consulting projects accountable to multiple government stakeholders.
My depth of social impact practice is further bolstered by high visibility roles I took ownership of, at Teach For India. As a 2017 Cohot fellow, I setup functional data tools for the national alumni impact committee. This directly led to post-fellowship placements, and career developments for state-wide fellows. As a core team member of the TFI Tech Lab, I monitored innovative learning reforms for 30+ state-wide public school classrooms. I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of working with some of India's most under-resourced public systems.
Fresh out of college, I worked in a sales & business development startup role for 100+ elite private schools across India, scaling a local business to country-wide operation within 18 months.
Education & leadership
Studied at University of Delhi, finished in top 10 of my class. Bachelor of Arts (specialisation: small & medium business management)
I led volunteer recruitment & engagement platforms for city-wide efforts for WWF (World Wildlife Fund for Nature), working with student organisations at top colleges. Sports has been a big part of shaping my life, I have played professional golf and won a few national tournaments. A soccer coach by passion, I volunteered with Delhi Police to coach at-risk youth towards transformational life outcomes. This was my gateway to deepening my experience in social impact & public policy. I was also part of my soccer football team.
My experiences are balanced with data analysis learnings from Duke University and a Business Analyst certification from the International Institute of Business Analysis.
GRE: 317 (expires in Jan 2021)
Gratitude,
Chandan

Hi Chandan,
Gosh, hard to help you here, because I'm not sure what you're asking. What do I make of your profile for what? If you're asking about your chances at say, the very top US business schools, I'd say you have have some strengths and weaknesses but the very top schools might be difficult. On the plus side, you have promising stories of leadership and impact and I love your community work. You seem a little young at 25 (how many years of experience - US schools normally admit candidates with 5-6 years at matriculation). Your undergraduate performance seems strong, congratulations. I do worry about your GRE, which looks low for top schools. Most Indian applicants who do well submit the GMAT and offer scores 20-40 points higher than a a school's average for success. I think you could submit a GRE, but one that low would require creativity in where to apply, and should include schools beyond the top 10/15 unless you can boost your score. Best of luck to you, I am rooting for your success!
Warmly,
Julie-Anne
