I have consistently excelled academically, achieving 94% in 10th (ICSE) and 90% in 12th (State Board), and maintaining a strong performance in my undergraduate studies with 7.45 in the 1st semester and 7.5 in the 2nd semester. These results reflect my dedication, discipline, and strong analytical skills.


Beyond academics, I have actively engaged in volunteer and leadership activities, gaining practical experience in marketing and team coordination. I have contributed to the Digital Marketing, Marketing, and Hospitality committees, and as a member of the Leo Club, I have participated in initiatives for social impact and community service. These experiences have strengthened my abilities in marketing strategy, social media management, communication, and project execution.

To further enhance my skill set, I have completed certifications in Excel (Beginner to Advanced) and Generative AI Foundations, while honing my pitching, communication, and marketing skills. Fluent in Hindi and English, I am comfortable working in multicultural environments and collaborating with diverse teams.

My career goal is to become a marketing strategist, combining creativity, analytics, and digital expertise to drive impactful campaigns in global companies or innovative startups. The HEC Paris MSc in Marketing offers the ideal environment to deepen my knowledge, engage with world-class faculty, and collaborate with ambitious peers, preparing me to make meaningful contributions in the field of marketing.

I am a 25 year old man hailing from Kolkata, having completed a bachelor's degree in Statistics from St. Xavier's College Kolkata (CGPA: 7.35) and a Master of Operational Research from University of Delhi (CGPA: 8.5). [10th: 88%, 12th: 89%]


During my masters I interned at Gartner, which is an internationally revered Research and Advisory Company. I was the only student out of a batch of 170 to be selected for the internship. Post my internship, I was offered a PPO which I had accepted and spent 2 years at Gartner as a Specialist, Quantitative Analysis and Data Science in the Cybersecurity Research practice.
At Gartner I honed my quantitative and technical skills and made significant contributions to Gartner business:
> I was primarily responsible for analyzing data and presenting insights to senior stakeholders across the world.
> I pioneered GenAI adoption in the team by being the first to use NotebookLM to analyze 2000+ client inquiries, the results of which were used in 2026 Agenda Planning for Cybersecurity. Received Research and Advisory Recognition Award
> I was one of the founding members of the Data Engineering and Automation Taskforce which was created to improve the internal efficiency of the team. I introduced Python alternatives to legacy VBA based data tasks reducing execution time by 90%

I had taken finance electives during my final two semesters in college. I knew then that my passion lied in finance. As I was working at Gartner, I was upskilling parallelly to move into finance. I have passed CFA Level 1 and completed multiple certifications on credit risk modelling. I eventually was able to completely shift my domain and function by securing a position as Consultant II at EXL Services. I will be working on developing credit risk models for the largest US based credit card company and bank, impacting their entire consumer level credit card loan portfolio and ensuring compliance with US Federal Bank risk standards.

I have pursued my passion of music for 15+ years now. I am an Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music certified Grade 8 violinist. [Highest grade possible]. I had been part of the Abraham Mazumder Symphony Orchestra from 2015 - 2021, spending the last two years as the lead violinist. During that time, I regularly volunteered at Abraham Mazumder Music School teaching music to children and assisting on orchestra setups for numerous concerts.
I was primarily responsible for organizing the G20: University Connect event at Delhi University, Department of Operational Research, drawing 300+ footfall including the Vice Chancellor of Delhi University.
I was the leading member of the Engagement Committee at Gartner organizing fun and skill development activities to improve collaboration within the team.

Additional Information:
> I expect to complete all three levels of CFA before applying for MBA
> I want to do MBA to pivot from back office analytics in finance to buy-side front office. Management consulting could be my backup
> I can switch companies one more time depending on how much brand value of my current organization plays a role during MBA applications
> I have played tennis and participated in multiple junior championships from 2009-2015. Although I was not good at it and that experience taught me a lot about failure.

I am a U.S. Navy Lieutenant and Naval Flight Officer with over six years of operational leadership on the P-8A Poseidon, specializing in anti-submarine warfare, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and international defense cooperation. Currently, I serve as a Military Advisor at the U.S. Department of State, where I bridge military operations with diplomacy, ensuring compliance with U.S. export control laws while supporting U.S. defense trade interests. In this role, I am the only O-3 serving as a Military Advisor at the State Department, working alongside a Wardroom of more senior Navy and Marine Corps officers. Despite being the most junior by rank, I am entrusted to lead critical aspects of the Navy–Marine Corps MILAD Wardroom, where I oversee finances and membership while helping strengthen community and professional ties across the organization.


I am a qualified Mission Commander and Instructor Tactical Coordinator (TACCO) on the P-8A Poseidon, having earned both qualifications well ahead of the typical 18–24 month timeline by completing them in just 15 months. I was fully responsible for leading a detachment, taking a P-8 to Singapore and Thailand in support of international air shows and large-scale multinational exercises. I also directed combat-ready crews through complex ISR and anti-submarine warfare missions.

As one of the lead Naval Flight Officers in my squadron, I mentored and developed the next cadre of NFOs, shaping their progression and readiness. Under this leadership, the squadron earned the Battle Efficiency Award (Battle “E”) for two consecutive years, recognizing us as the top-performing unit in our community. These experiences taught me how to develop people, build winning teams, and deliver results in demanding environments — the same skills I want to bring into the private sector.

I graduated magna cum laude with a 3.72 GPA from Florida State University with a degree in Information Technology and have completed extensive professional military education and joint training. Looking ahead, I am preparing for a top-tier MBA to expand my business and leadership toolkit. My long-term vision is to transition into the tech sector — leading projects or joining a startup I truly value, particularly those focused on innovation with social impact. I want to use my background in mission-driven leadership to help build organizations that not only succeed commercially but also make a meaningful difference.

Automation Engineer at Major US Defense Company. Entered as an ELDP and promoted ahead of peers to senior level. Have added significant value to factory. Received B.S./M.S. within 4 years with good GPAs, 3.8 & 3.9, respectively. Solid involvement during school with organizations and have continued on board of one as an alumni. Aiming for LGO as top choice. Narrative for essays focusing on Automation/I4.0 -> Aerospace as we are very slow to adapt haha. Thanks!

Hey
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your profile looks good on the surface. 4 years in manufacturing/defense with direct factory impact, ELDP background, and a fast promotion all scream “operations/leadership fit.”

The dual BS/MS with stellar GPA adds solid academic credibility, and the ongoing alumni board involvement rounds out the profile with leadership/community impact. Your GMAT Focus looks decent. That said, your story, automation/industry to Aerospace transformation is compelling. Make sure to build a strong narrative around your application.

I’d be happy to offer you a free profile review for your target MBA programs to see where you stand and how to boost your chances, happy to help!
No pressure, no strings - just helpful insights on where you stand and how you can strengthen your chances.

Thanks for sharing your profile @ASE25 ! Let's start with your strengths: Perfect academic + technical baseline: B.S./M.S. with 3.8/3.9 GPAs signals good quantitative chops. Operations & automation experience inside a large, complex organization, LGO’s target profile (industrial systems + manufacturing transformation). Rapid promotion / ELDP track record shows leadership, high potential, and organizational recognition. Clear, themeable story: “Automation / Industry 4.0 → aerospace/manufacturing” is tight and relevant.

675 GMAT FE score is decent. Why MBA / why now? At 4 years, you must clearly explain why a 2-year MBA (and LGO specifically) is the right next step versus staying technical or doing an MS. Fit for non-LGO schools: Stanford/HBS are very selective; they’ll expect extraordinary leadership stories and evidence you’ll benefit uniquely from those ecosystems.

Realistic chances: Good fit. LGO explicitly recruits engineers with manufacturing/operations/automation experience. If LGO is your priority, apply early, and it becomes your first deliverable. Haas, target/reach, Haas values tech + product/operations, good fit. Haas medians are similar to other top programs; a stronger quantitative test helps. Stanford GSB / Harvard HBS, Reach. Both can be possible, but highly selective. They prize unique leadership and vision; apply only if you have standout, distinct leadership narratives and can articulate why each school’s ecosystem is essential to your goals. Stanford’s class profile shows broad GMAT ranges, but medians are higher. Alternatives that you can explore: Tepper, Ross, and Fuqua

Focus on measurable factory impact: % throughput increase, downtime reduction, cycle time improvements, cost savings, quality defect reductions, automation ROI, people-led, budgets, and cross-functional leadership. Try to choose technical + operations recommenders for LORs.
Make your “Why MBA → Why LGO ironclad. For LGO, emphasize the need for management training to scale automation solutions, the two-year leadership lab, and the partner-company internships.

Questions for you to reflect on:
1) Any patents, publications, or technical awards related to automation / I4.0?
2) Do you have a partner company preference for LGO internships/employers you want to target? (helps craft “why LGO”)

We would love to learn more about your academic background, extracurricular activities, professional experiences, and personal journey so we can offer a more tailored assessment of your profile and evaluate your chances at your target schools more accurately. If you'd like, feel free to book a profile evaluation session.

Congratulations on your acceptance. Can you tell me exactly which scholarship HEC awarded you? I decided not to apply because I thought there wasn't a full scholarship available there.
