Hi,

Definitely a lot of potential in this profile, with plenty of scope to develop strong stories from your experience at L&T. Make sure your post-MBA goals are closely aligned with real estate and infrastructure, particularly strategy, operations, consulting, or infrastructure and capital projects. I would also recommend aiming to improve your GMAT score by around 30–40 points and applying in Round 2. You should also consider IIMA, IIMB and IIMC as part of your target list.

Happy to connect if you’d like to discuss your profile in more detail.

Would EC still count? It was a long long time back, and I honestly don't remember half of whatever I did!

I'm Male. The first company I founded was sold at a valuation of 20 Cr with offices in 5 countries across the world. My second startup is actively involved in social welfare as well. We work actively with small artisans across India to design and produce a lot of our products, and make sure that we pay them fair value for their work. The company's grown to a 25 Cr revenue and is currently valued at about 70-75 Cr, however, I'm looking for a change because I've run out of runway and its very hard to raise money.

GMATinsight

That’s a good profile ... with a stellar score

Gender, Work impacts and extra curricular ain’t mentioned here but I am sure there would be great stories to write about achievements in application.

I think you have very bright chances if you can work your application well.

Also consider IiM A PGPX and IIM EPGP

Hello folks, need a profile evaluation:
Total work ex-5+years, I have worked with Publicis Sapient for around 1.5 years, IBO(EBO Mart) an Indian retail start up for around 9 months and since then for 3 years at Lowe’s India an American retail brand with ~$90B annual revenue, have worked on the high visibility projects to increase the user engagement and retention and add more value to the relation via loyalty pr0grams.
I am aiming for a score 695+ in GMAT.
Reason to do MBA: With my experience in the industry I have always learnt to keep the customer/user at the centre of all my discussions, wanted to leverage and tap into the industry with that experience and give something back to the people from the rural India, where I come from.
Academics:
• Class 10 (CBSE): 95%
• Class 12 (CBSE): 78%
• B-Tech (MIT Manipal - 2021): 7.75/10

Extra curricular in school and college and were mostly around theatre and media and festivals.
Have some done volunteering work for some time and I have run Marathon and have scattered records for that.
Please evaluate accordingly.
