Cheers!
Shantanu Sharma, INSEAD Alumnus
Founder and Admissions Consultant, MBA and Beyond
Academically, I have consistent but not elite scores (82% in 10th, 80.6% in 12th, ~6.9 CGPA in undergrad), which you offset through strong real-world impact, leadership, and clarity of purpose rather than pure academic signalling.
Professionally, I bring breadth + depth:
Early IT exposure at Cognizant
A strategy-heavy role at a Dubai-based hospitality startup, where you worked on operations strategy, process automation, and efficiency improvements
Implementation / Functional Consulting experience at ADP, including initiating a strategic compliance-linked integration idea with Razorpay
This gives me a rare blend of tech understanding, business strategy exposure, and client-facing execution, positioning you well for consulting and product management roles.
My most distinctive differentiator is my social impact leadership:
I am a volunteer for the India Federation of Hemophilia
I co-created a workshop and assessment framework now used in 55+ countries and 180+ healthcare centers
This is global-scale impact, not résumé filler, and places me in a different league from typical applicants.
On the leadership and personality front:
Former President of my college music club
Primary goals: Management Consulting then move into advisory position
