Hi! No issues with that. Undergraduation in Chemical Engineering. 7+ years of Work Experience split into a managerial position at a MNC and then as a Startup Founder. My startup has won multiple International as well as National Awards and we are working with quite a few Governments in the Sustainability Sector, especially in the Water Purification domain. I also have lot of pro bono activity experiences. This will be my first [and hopefully last
] attempt at the GMAT FE.anirchat
Mint + WSJ is now at INR 3499 per annum. I think it is massively overpriced!

Hello,
There is no upper limit on the work experience or the age in the program. However, you should go through the cohort and evaluate if you see yourself fit in the class. If yes and if you see that you can achieve your career goals with the program, then you should go ahead and apply. Your work and extracurriculars definitely are good, nothing to worry about. For you its about you understanding the fit and then communicating the fit. We have worked with professionals (returning for good) with a considerable years of work exp interviewing with IIMA A, IIM C,ISB, IIM L, IIMI - different goals, different backgrounds, so you can evaluate these programs also.
Ideally, I would suggest that you should connect one on one with the IIMA PGPX team and have a word with them to understand the fit as well.
All the best!
