~3 Years of work ex at a Startup
Joined as a product analyst, Promoted to Associate Product Manager in 1.5 years.
Key accomplishments:
• Owned the lifecycle of an internal analytics product. Caught a critical security gap missed in prior reviews and ran enablement sessions that got teammates shipping independently.
• Solved a 'shipping blind' problem on our AI-powered analytics tool, drove the build of an evaluation system that benchmarks every release on quality, latency, and cost. Cut a multi-day manual process to one click.
• Led the product workstream for a major supply chain client in Southeast Asia: 20+ API integrations plus a custom notification system built to the client's spec. Ran daily syncs through go-live.

Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, you have a solid profile for ISB, especially with a startup background and an early promotion into a product role. The work you’ve described shows good ownership and hands-on problem solving, which is something ISB likes to see. Your experience working on product systems, process improvements, and client delivery also gives your profile more depth than a standard tech application.
A lot will now depend on how clearly the impact of your work comes across in the application. ISB will want to understand things like the scale of the product, how your work affected the business, whether you worked with senior stakeholders, and how much responsibility you were handling compared to others at your level. Since you’re coming from a competitive tech pool, a strong GMAT score will also be important.
Please share details about
1. How big is the startup and what stage is it at?
2. Have you managed or mentored anyone?
3. Any extracurriculars or activities outside work?
4. Why consulting after product/startup experience?
