Hello Admissions consultants, I wish you are doing great. Although you come across many profiles from Indian candidates who are more into the IT space, I have a genuine request for this profile to be evaluated.
Unlike a standard curve of going to college, Getting a TOP50 company job, achieving promotions and dwelling an MBA to further accelerate career, my path has been less sturdy.
Coming from a business family I always wished to not go into the family business and start my own business which is scalable, and more impacting than my family business. Hence I did my engineering and went on to get a placement. After a year, the setback came in, when, my family business went into a Financial crisis and the business was on verge on bankruptcy. Although this could have been a reason i interviewed at the firm and thereby started this mission of recovery of the family business. The outstanding loan amount was northwards of 85000000 with very less payables on the balance sheet and with projects not more than 2000000 per year (with a net 8-10%) it was a steep slope to climb. hence this was where I was. to do this magnitude of a job in a managerial position snd to steer the ship in the right direction. Going forward I took extremely calculated decisions and have successfully ventured the firm into a profit-making business. I cleared up all the loans with backdated payments for the firm and balanced out the management aspect with the technical aspects along with a team of 30 who were dominantly industry heavy knowledged and accustomed to old practices. Although this has been an experience in itself the main underlying fact remains the same the business is not scalable and certainly dependent on multiple variables which is not necessarily under the firm's control.
This journey as mentioned above is not even a per cent of what we as a family, plus my personal sacrifices, have been through. But I have come out of it with much more matured and experienced managerial personnel than an average person who would work for a large tech firm that has a single domain to handle(although I don't underestimate that to be easy by no means). Right from Balance sheets, to Technical aspects, to labour contractors, to n number of different variables feel like a hard sudoku business puzzle. But that's what the good part about the business is, it makes you drive the ship and if you are given control it has disproportionate outcomes.
Parallel to this, I started my own business of Management Consulting for a selected client which would help cover the financial need since we constantly put up every single dollar back into paying the debt. And also have played professional-level football alongside my Math tutoring program which I take up to teach underprivileged kids in INDIA.
My Mba ambition is clear and simple. Learning about businesses which are scalable, world-changing ( may it be 1%) and certainly close to the industry that impacts people closely remain my desired outcome from an MBA program and thus i would be happy if anyone reviews this.
My GMAT SCORE -(670-700) mocks
GPA - 3.32

ajinkyajadhav,
A few thoughts on your profile evaluation.
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,
A few thoughts on your profile evaluation.
- The academic arc is unclear since you've not mentioned your college name. The GPA looks to be modest too and may need some explaining. Your GMAT score will have to be evaluated in the light of the kind of schools you are targeting. In general though, one can usually add 20-30 points to a given school's average to get a sense of the Indian GMAT average.
- Your professional story sounds interesting. You've mentioned you worked for a year with college placements - where/in what role? The family business experience is usually quite enriching and adcoms appreciate it. They are however also skeptical due to the lack of brand/scale/credibility - areas to explicitly address in your applications. You'll also need to have a clear immediate post-MBA pitch.
- The ECs and volunteer work can be good to showcase a richer personality. This is why adcoms value ECs. Make sure to leverage these well.
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,

1. The academic university is not TOP TIER IIT, But rather SHIVAJI UNIVERSITY ( although many may have unheard it is one of the oldest in INDIA but not as reputed).
My GPA is certainly modest but looking at my cocurr- activities I would say it adds up since I have led Teams multiple times and was involved in brilliant practical projects which may add to the LOW side of the GPA. Also to add further, I was not below 20 in the entire class but since the Toppers were offshoot away from the class it does not reflect well with 3.32
2. Yes immediately after my undergrad I got placed as an Engineer in the Manufacturing domain since my undergrad is Production in which I achieved significant goals like implementing various structural,technical to advanced design projects.
3. My volunteering work though is not nominal since I have serious active participation being a founding member of the NGO against EVE TEASING OF WOMEN, We also Work with STATE POLICE for NIRBHAYA PROJECT which deals with projects like women eve-teasing, rape and mental and physical harassments in urban and rural India and I have a venture under the name of WISE LEARNING for MATH tutoring for Underprivileged.
To add a scent to this, I am also currently working to be an AUTHOR, of a 60page book to be published for all the children and early adults (15-25), which layouts the foundation for why one should pursue entrepreneurship - It will be called as M3 - Mental Models for Monopoly.
This book contains all the learning which I have experienced through my journey and gives the reader 30 different questions on which they can build mental models to evaluate a business idea, showcase a pitch, design a product and so on.
On the professional front, I have gained a client for Management Consulting from ITALY and Germany with whom I work on a project basis. These clients have companies worth more than 500$million.
My college targets -
1. Judge
2. Tuck
3. UCLA
4. Tepper
5. Booth(dream)
6.LBS
7. SDA
Although this list might seem varied on my trajectory but this is completely from the standpoint that mocks range in between 670-700.
Would appreciate your feedback
