Work experience:
7 years of experience in design & engineering in Transformer manufacturing industry. [3 years in Transformers & Rectifiers (I) Ltd. 4 years in Hitachi Energy/ABB]. Primary responsibilities include design and development of mechanical features in Transformers, supporting global factories in design activities/mechanical simulations, working in few of the R&D, design to value projects. Though the profile looks very much technical, highlights of my career have been some interesting projects and few international exposures.
1. With my previous company, I was part of technology transfer collaboration team. Me along with my senior manager visited Fuji Electric factory in Japan for a week to understand & absorb the technology for single phase reactor. Also, successfully designed the similar transformer, which was later commissioned to Power Grid Corporation
2. I was the first recruit to support US factory of dry transformers in my current organization. I was sent to US for 3 months to learn the factory practices, manufacturing limitations, US design standards. Trained and mentored five more mechanical engineers for the same factory, now co leading the team.
3. I had a two week visit to Shanghai for a global team meet on ABB Mechanical Design Platforms. Successfully implemented the same in my ABB’s Vadodara transformer factory design team
Community:
In our college, we run a nonprofit night school, where we teach the local under privileged kids up to 10th standard. I participated in the field work, books and stationary distribution and taught the kids in the school.
Extra curriculars
I was the secretary of Drama club in my college. Successfully organized inter college drama competition. Awarded ‘best director’ in 2012 & 2013 drama festivals. Also, I actively participated organizing cultural events, took part in music club in college
1. If anyone could please evaluate my profile and chances of getting admit in IIM B/C/I or XLRI?
2. Though my GMAT overall score is 700, my IR scaled score is embarrassingly 1. How much weightage do the IIMs give to IR score?
3. Should I retake to improve my IR score? in case in the second attempt I score lower overall and I cancel it, will that have a more negative impact?
