While your profile looks very strong Pranay, perhaps it may not be the best fit for INSEAD which looks for applicants with international exposure and leadership experience. DO you have specific reasons for considering INSEAD?

Top global brand, instant access to MBB & global consulting & strategy roles, fastest global mobility.

Understand this, but these reasons can appear somewhat generic for INSEAD as many applicants apply for exactly the same reasons. In that scenario, how can you show a strong, personalized need for INSEAD MBA given your past professional and personal experience and fit with INSEAD. Remember that both the admission at a b-school and the recruitment at a company are a two-way street.
While the b-school offers you a plethora of resources for your growth, they will assess your profile for what you bring to the table and how you can contribute.
Similarly, a recruiter will look for your transferable skills and relevant experience that will enable you to hit the ground running from the time you join them.

If you do apply to INSEAD, it will be crucial for you to satisfy both these aspects via your essays and resume.

Did anyone who applied in R1 see the following scholarship in the portal? 'INSEAD Oliver and June Knowles Endowed Scholarship'. I'm sure I didn't see it before but it's there now and I wonder if I missed it.

I got a mail from the admissions officer confirming my application in round 2 and stating when the results would be announced (FYI - I also had the issue in the dashboard)
Yess same.
Got no answer to my mail, but got a mail for primary AO contact stating the need to complete the Video Essays and the Dates for Round 2

Did you apply in R1 and have you completed your interview?

I am sure I did not see it initially while applying to scholarships but it showed up in the 'Scholarship Applications --> Apply' section, making me think I missed it!

We did get several emails alerts about the impending deadline for the scholarship applications. I wouldn't have found the link otherwise to be honest

I completed both interviews on October 24th and then this 'new' scholarship showed up on Nov 5th. Not sure what it means, if it even means anything since I could just be dumb and have missed it, but that's what I see.
