Background:


Computer Science undergraduate at BITS Pilani Dubai Campus (Class of 2026) with strong exposure to both technology and business.

Leadership experience as Community Chair, ACM BPDC (organised hackathons, built tech communities) and Marketing Head, AEP (led content, design, and outreach strategy).

Currently Chief of Staff at Module Xero, an AI-leadership consultancy, managing brand strategy, podcasts, and partnerships, including representation at UN Women’s World Youth Skills Day 2025.

Entrepreneurial projects include HouseKeeping (domestic help subscription platform) and EcoMosaic (green media concept), alongside driving marketing and sponsorships for major university events and sustainability fairs.

Research contributions in FinTech cybersecurity, sentiment analysis, and economic policy, with publications and presentations in progress.

Why MBA now:
Through internships, entrepreneurial ventures, and leadership roles, I have discovered my passion for marketing strategy—where creativity meets analytics to drive growth. An MBA will provide the structured training, global exposure, and networks I need to transition from execution-focused roles to strategic leadership.

Short-term goal (post-MBA):
To work in marketing strategy roles at a global firm in the EU or MENA region, focusing on brand growth, digital transformation, and purpose-driven campaigns.

Long-term goal:
To establish and lead my own marketing consultancy firm, helping organizations across Europe and the Middle East build innovative, sustainable, and human-centered brands.

Region targeted:
Primarily, the EU and MENA are both vibrant, evolving markets where global brands increasingly demand localised yet future-oriented marketing solutions.

Planning to give GMAT Focus again.

Applying for Deferred MBA you would need a stellar profile - Think GMAT 705+, though Darden may consider your case.
Alternatively, apply post WE of 3-4 years

Hope that helps. Please submit your profile for a Free Assessment over a 1:1 call. https://theivyleagueedge.com/index.php/contactus/
