Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your profile looks strong on the surface for INSEAD and ISB, especially coming from a manufacturing + sales engineering background, which is less crowded than pure IT/consulting pools.
A 665 GMAT FE is strong. Your experience shows clear progression and commercial ownership, which schools like because it signals real business exposure, not just technical execution. The key will be showing leadership, decision-making, and influence, not just sales numbers. Your consulting pivot makes sense if you frame it around problem-solving, cross-functional exposure, and scaling business impact.
I’d be happy to offer you a free profile review for your target 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.

1. Great Acads from DTU, and solid CGPA,
2. Sound Career Progression that Schools like.
3. I am assuming your LORs can come from your Bosses.
4. Can't get a sense of your Extra-Curriculars, Volunteering and/or such other differentiators.
Given your Indiam Male Engineer Status, a higher GMAT score, good Extra-Curriculars (even in college) would help you differentiate well
Overall, my sense is that through ISB you may be underaiming, esp because you may be able to shoot for global brands and greater exposure through globally recognized brand names. For INSEAD however, a higher GMAT/GRE may position you in a better spot.
Hope that helps. Please submit your profile for a Free Assessment over a 1:1 call. https://theivyleagueedge.com/index.php/contactus/
