In order of priority- someone who has worked with you closely, someone senior / known, someone outside India (to show global exposure). This can be your client, partner, supplier, peer in industry..
Can the partner be a co-founder as well? Is that acceptable?

Thanks Manan for the response. Can it be someone I worked with a couple of years ago but is still a mentor? Or does it necessarily have to be someone who I have worked with recently?
yes mentor would work

Cool. No need to carry Gmat ID number right? I am guessing the center should already have all the details.

Hi arunvigneshav,

Thanks for sharing your profile.

Your work experience is rich and will be highly valued in the application process.

But the current GMAT score is on the lower side to have realistic chances of getting into ISB. At current scores one year courses of IIMC, IIML, IIMI will be achievable.

So do focus on getting a 690+ GMAT atleast to provide yourself a better chance to get selected for ISB.

Hope it helped.

Hello Guys,
I am a re-applicant to ISB. I applied last time in R1 & got waitlisted. Screwed up badly in the interviews. I am reapplying again this time in R1.
There are a few changes to my profile. I boosted my GMAT Score from 700 -> 770 and received a major promotion at my organisation.
I have an important questions regarding my essays.
Should I rewrite the essays from scratch? (How much modification should I make to my essays?)
My goals have not changed. Only the accomplishments.
Hoping I don't screw up any part of the application process this time. Lol.
Thanks

Hey, that’s a great jump. In the essays, you don’t need to rewrite from scratch. Focus on presenting the new accomplishments in line with the new essay topic and cover the promotion + other bits of change in the 3rd essay. If goals haven’t changed and there was enough research about ISB demonstrated there, then it should be enough. No ned to rewrite. Happy to take a look (probono) once you’re done. Cheers!

Hello arunvigneshav

Past scores are decent, but the GMAT is low to inspire enough confidence. Either retake and target 700+ or be 100% certain you will present some strength to compensate for the low score.
Work ex wise, years is in the sweet spot. Public sector experience will add some diversity. No extracurriculars though.
Career goals seem clear and organic.
With a 700+ you will be in a good position.

Best
