I have a bachelors in Electronics and Communication + MS in Management (5 Years Dual Degree Program) from a Tier 1 institute in India.
GPA - 7.31/9.0 (Translates to roughly, 3.6/4.0)
I have a GRE Score of 326 (Q - 168, V - 158)
IELTS - 7.5 Band
I have a cumulative professional work experience of over 3 years by the time I get an admit for my MBA in 2026.
~ 6 months as an intern at a YC Backed Startup, eventually got converted to Full Time and worked with them for over an year, as one the core team - Founding Data Science Engineers. Built multiple tools and SaaS products service Data Exploration and commercial real estate transperancy, etc. This startup was later acquired by another organization.
Then I worked as an independent ressearcher under my Master's disetation mentor for over an year on extending my existing Portfolio Optimization paper (currently under review for publishing).
Currently I am working as the Founding Engineer at another organization (South Parks Common (US-Based VC) Backed startup).

Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your profile looks solid. A Tier 1 background with a dual degree, strong GRE and solid experience at early-stage startups gives you a unique edge. Being a founding data science engineer and having a paper under review adds good academic and technical depth, which AdComs at schools like Booth and Stern appreciate.
The e-commerce pivot makes sense given your startup exposure, and you already show the kind of innovation mindset those programs value. Just make sure your essays clearly connect your technical experience to business leadership that will help you stand out in a competitive Indian applicant pool.
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.

Good Luck!
Also I am not clear on your career goals, specifically what is your interest in ecommerce.
You bring a well-rounded and distinctive profile - a strong GRE (326, Q168), solid academics, a unique mix of data science, research, and startup exposure. Having served as a founding engineer at two early-stage, VC-backed startups and with published (or near-published) research experience, your technical and entrepreneurial depth stand out. The Manufacturing label in your pre-MBA industry may not fully capture your trajectory — your roles align more with data-driven product and analytics work, which strengthens your fit for post-MBA roles in e-commerce, product management, or strategy. The key will be clarifying your career narrative — showing how your analytical and entrepreneurial background translates into impact in the retail/e-commerce space.
