Hi Sumit,
Thanks for sharing your profile and MBA aspirations.
My name is Priyanka, Client Manager at ARINGO.
You have a very interesting profile! From what I can see:
- Academics – good CGPA. We would also like to know your class ranking (or percentile).
- Work Experience –Looking at your roles and responsibilities, your work experience is nice including the managerial tasks and awards.
You need to make an impactful resume quantifying the results, leadership skills, career trajectory (promotions), etc. Also, any international client/project?
- Extracurricular activities/Volunteer Work- We would love to know about your hobbies and interests as the B schools look at an all-rounded profile. Any volunteer work?
- Your career goals - Your career goals look fine as this is a logical extension of what you are doing presently but will be able to give more insights once you share your CV and provide more details.
- School list & GMAT– You need to target a score of 710+ for making your applications strong. Since you are part of the overrepresented pool of applicants- the higher the score, the better it is. 😊
The following link will help you prepare the timelines for your process: https://www.aringo.com/ideal-timeline-for-mba-application/.
All in all sounds like you have a good profile! If you send me your CV and other info on PRIYANKAK@ARINGO.com once you are done with the exam, I would love to connect you with our CEO who will be happy to help further with a detailed review and perhaps work together on some amazing apps.
All the best.

Hi Rudramishra1,
Thank you for sharing your profile. Your profile seems interesting on the surface. Your work experience is the most significant aspect of your profile. I’m sure you can bring a lot of good stories from it. Firstly let me tell you the aspects on which INSEAD evaluates your profile.
1) Ability to contribute
2) Leadership skills
3) International Motivation
4) Academics
I can see the mix of 1,2 and 3 in your profile. Your undergrad GPA is low, but you have compensated it with your 760 GMAT, so this part is pretty sorted for you. On the work front, your work experience is impressive. I’m sure you will have great stories to dig out from your journey on the ship while heading towards different countries. Also while creating the stories you will need to put forth the leadership qualities in you. While listing your work or responsibilities you will need to pick the most impactful one. Talk more deeply about your experiences and show how your different roles have developed leadership qualities in you and how you took care of things when things went south. Talking about such experiences helps give adcoms great insight into your values, beliefs, and leadership potential.
Your involvement in lots of sports activity describes your lively personality, do speak about it. I would like to know your ECs, any hobbies you pursue now? Try to find something you are doing now beyond work, dig deeper and find the answer for the same. You can also talk about your pre-sea training, its actually interesting and speak about the maritime course you have done, it will bring diversity to your profile.
Overall you have a great profile and have a shot at INSEAD. I would like to know the hidden aspects of your work experience and your impact in order to find your USPs. Also, it would be great if I get to know your post-MBA goals to gauge your fit for INSEAD. What’s going to matter most is how you link the dots with the values of the INSEAD and bring a great narrative to stand out from the other applicants in the pool.
For INSEAD, to get better insights into what the school looks for and how you can strategize your applications better, you can look into this session. It's on 20th March and it's a personalised session to help you assess your chances.
If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a call with you sometime this week to discuss your profile in length and your further chances for INSEAD. Feel free to book a free session with us as per your convenience.
