After qualifying as a Chartered Accountant, I’ve spent the last 4 years working across high-growth consumer startups and fintechs. My experience spans Strategic Finance, Category Management, and full P&L ownership — across Series A to Series D companies. I’ve led multi-functional projects, launched new apparel categories, and currently head strategic finance for a $10Mn neobanking vertical at a top Indian fintech. I’ve been promoted twice in 3.5 years, and have worked closely with founders and CXOs- including reporting directly to the CEO in one role and currently to the CFO. My MBA recommendations are from both.
While the growth has been rewarding, I’m now seeking wider problem-solving exposure across industries and markets — which is why I’m targeting strategy consulting post-MBA. My strength lies in solving ambiguous business problems and connecting the dots between finance, product, and customer. Long term, I want to scale a consumer business globally or build my own venture in the retail-tech space.
I’m targeting Europe and Southeast Asia post-MBA, and applying to INSEAD and a few 2-year US programs. ISB is a backup
GRE: 326 (Q165, V161).
Post-MBA target: Strategy Consulting (Consumer/Retail), long-term: GM/founder path.

This is a well-rounded, high-impact profile with a clear upward trajectory, impressive CXO-level exposure, and strong narrative depth. Your GRE score (326) is good, and the breadth of experience across fintech and consumer startups will resonate well with INSEAD’s case-driven, global leadership model.
Your undergrad GPA (7.9) could be the only minor concern, but your CA and fast-tracked career progression should offset it.
For MBB goals in Europe or SE Asia, INSEAD is a great strategic fit. Still, your application narrative must nail the “why consulting” and show global adaptability to maximize your odds and scholarship chances across top programs. Let’s refine that together.
