Hi Athul Sasi
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your profile looks strong with 9 years of experience in a major PSU energy company, where you’ve mentioned managing corporate accounts in industries like pharma, petrochemicals, and chemicals. Your experience brings you with a strong foundation in B2B sales, marketing, and logistics.

Your post-MBA goal to transition into consulting, particularly within the energy or petrochemical sector, aligns well with the strategic and analytical skills you will be gaining from an MBA. Plus, speaking about your academics, your GMAT score is pretty strong along with a decent GPA. Make sure you bring in strong and customized essays to cater to individual schools.

Hey @Athul Sasi ,

Your profile looks great with 9 years of experience in the energy sector, particularly in business development and managing corporate accounts, is strong. Your experience in handling major corporate clients across diverse sectors like pharma, petrochemicals, and chemicals gives you a well-rounded skill set that is highly valued in consulting, especially within the energy or petrochemical sectors.

Your GMAT score of 695 is great for M7 and top b-schools. Given that your background is in a specialized industry like energy, you’ll need to demonstrate how your experience translates into the consulting world and how you can contribute to and benefit from the MBA program. Your undergraduate GPA of 8.5 from a leading Indian institution is strong and shows good academic capabilities. Make sure you clearly articulate how an MBA will facilitate your transition into consulting. Be specific about the types of consulting roles you're targeting (e.g., management consulting, strategy consulting in energy firms) and the value your experience brings to the table. Focus on highlighting any leadership roles you’ve taken within your job. For instance, have you led teams/projects that resulted in growth for your company or client satisfaction? If possible, you might want to engage in more extracurricular activities or initiatives, either professionally or personally, that can show your broader leadership skills or community involvement. This will demonstrate your all-around capabilities.

What’s going to matter most in your application is how you connect the experiential dots and build a great story to stand out from other applicants in the pool.

If you’d like, we are happy to discuss more details about your academics, work experience, leadership roles, challenges faced, achievements, impact, post- MBA goals and extracurriculars to assess your chances better and strengthen your application with impactful stories.

Cheers!
