Priyanka here from ARINGO. Your profile looks Interesting. Coming from a commerce background with entrepreneurial experience in agro trading and cattle feed is unique, especially since you’ve actually built and scaled the business yourself. The turnover jump shows solid growth and real-world business acumen.
The CA article trainee stint adds some formal finance exposure, which helps your credibility for a PE goal, though you’ll need to connect the dots clearly in essays (why PE, and how your hands-on business experience ties in). GPA is on the lower side, so a strong GMAT/GRE will be crucial to offset that. INSEAD loves diverse, globally minded candidates with entrepreneurial grit, so lean into the “builder” narrative and show how you’ve managed teams, scaled operations, and learned from challenges.
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.
