A good combination of technical experience, entrepreneurial drive, and social impact. That said, your work experience is on the lower side. A few areas will require sharpening. Your academic background is good. While 72.5% in graduation is fine, as an Indian applicant (highly competitive pool), you may want to explain it in the optional essay. This makes your GMAT or GRE score critical, and since you haven’t mentioned one, it’s important to aim high. Ideally, you should target 675+ on GMAT or 325+ on GRE to remain competitive for INSEAD and be considered for scholarships. Additionally, admissions committees will be interested in the actual impact and traction of your ventures, especially PrideQue. Sharing measurable milestones (community size, engagement, partnerships, events) will help add weight to your story.

INSEAD can be a fit for your goals, but it shouldn’t be your only option. Schools like IESE, HEC Paris, Oxford Saïd, and Cambridge Judge also value candidates with entrepreneurial and social impact stories, and many offer scholarships to high-potential international applicants. In the past, we’ve had the privilege of working with some great applicants who had lower GMAT scores and GPAs, and successfully guided them to secure offers from INSEAD. We would love to learn more about your profile. If you’d like, feel free to reach out.

@saddiedas - interesting profile overall, given the GMAT score, consulting exposure and ZS brand.

Some more details on your work-ex can help assess the profile better: nature of your role(s), any promotions/ progressions, international experiences, extracurriculars (post undergrad), directional post-MBA goals, etc.

Feel free to reach out for a detailed assessment.

Some b-schools like HEC Paris offer feedback on your profile. Have a look: https://hecparis.my.site.com/forms/s/mba

INSEAD is approachable and does one on one sessions with applicants: https://www.insead.edu/form/contact?programme_code=MBA&

I am aware of LBS and IESE also doing these, but cant find the links.
