Hi All,
Please evaluate my profile for ISB Co’26.
My Profile:
Age: 26 yr
Work Ex. (as of March 31, 2025) : 4 years 8 months
GMAT Score : 695 (waiting for sectional scores)
Educational Qualifications:
1. S.S.C: secured 95.00% (all subjects) from CISCE in 2014 (school rank - 1/200)
2. H.S.C: secured 95.60% (all subjects) from Science stream from CBSE in 2016 (school rank - 2/500)
3. Graduation: Completed B.Tech in Electronics and Comm. Engg. from IIT (ISM) Dhanbad with 88.1% (rank - 3/110)
Work Experience:
1. Working as a Senior Data Analyst in an Indian wealth-tech unicorn startup for over 2 years now
2. Worked as an business analyst in ZS Associates for 1.5 years.
3. Interned at General Electric as a Sales and Marketing Associate for 3 months.
4. Interned as a Research Associate in IIT Roorkee for 2 months
Extra Curricular/Achievements:
1. Launched the official international relations website for better international outreach and perception which subsequently led to a better PI score in the NIRF rankings
2. Coordinated the socio-cultural fest of college with a footfall of around 15,000 and a budget of over half a crore in INR
3. Part of a number of CSR activities in college for the emancipation of orphaned children
4. Winner of a number of inter-school quiz competitions
5. Other administrative posts in college - student member of curriculum updation of electronics department, head of student society of department
6. Awarded the point one percentile certificate by the then Education Minister of India for securing full marks (100) in Mathematics in the 2016 CBSE 12th Board Exam
About Me:
I am a very curious and empathetic person, who loves meeting new people. I have always been good at academics. In college, I had an excellent GPA of 8.81 with multiple PoRs at a university level and at a department level. In 2020, I got an admit to IIM Indore, but I rejected it because I wasn’t sure why I wanted to pursue an MBA. In 2021, I took a risk and switched from a stable multi-national consulting company to an Indian startup in the crypto space, in order to work in a fast-paced environment and gain product-business experience. For the past 1 year, I have been leading the analytics pod for a new investment platform in Indian Stocks. Spearheaded the analytics team during the 0 to 10 journey of the product, and now embarking on the 10-100 journey.
I love playing the guitar, and as a former quizzer I read the newspaper everyday.
Primarily, aiming for ISB-Hyderabad. Now that I have a decent score, I can also explore INSEAD, HEC Paris, NYU Stern, MIT Sloan, Chicago Booth and Kellog. Please let me know if my profile is competiive for these B-schools.
Really strong profile with regards to academics and GMAT score. IIT and ZS branding also helps to some extent. Analytics, wealth tech, crypto and start-up experience are all very valuable from a work ex standpoint. While your extracurriculars are decent, they are mostly from the college duration. See if you could further elaborate on interests being pursued currently such as playing guitar or reading newspaper. If you craft your essays in an impactful manner, you have a very strong chance of not only getting an admit but also getting sizeable scholarship from your target B-Schools. Feel free to reach out to Preppie (https://www.preppie.in) for a more detailed discussion around your application strategy.Please evaluate my profile for ISB Co’26.
