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.

Although am looking at different schools I don't have a concrete list of schools-
But majorly i wish to target schools which have exposure with operations and leadership roles at FAANG or along those lines with VC/PE
Although not exhaustive here's a list of schools which I have in mind considering I score 670-700
1. Tuck
2. NYU
3. Tepper
4. Kelley
5. LBS
6. Judge
7. warwick
8. SDA
This is not the final list, please dont take it at face value. If I feel my application lacks, I am open to a school ranked lower than this for the R2.
2. Scholarship front is not too sure with a score of Indian applicants as low as 680-690, I stand a chance but applying early might be the best bet.
3. Countries am open to - US, UK, Germany, India(ISB/IIM)
