Hi Aniket04
Thanks for posting. A quick assessment from our side:
- Your current work is quite interesting and ranks you high on the parameter of diversity (that ISB is looking for), but you have only been in this role for a few months. Justifying a goal in social enterprise and an MBA with with ~5 months of experience in the sector will not be easy. Your work at MAD for 2 years is good, but it was not full-time, and while the exposure certainly counts, it may not be enough to justify a complete move to social entrepreneurship at the moment. Another question would be that the work you are currently doing is very unique and impactful and therefore is this the right time to move to social entrepreneurship? Would some more time spent with this unique opportunity, especially given the fact that your work experience so far is ~3 years total overall, not be a bad option?
- ECA is quite good and you have been a part of some good volunteering initiatives as well, apart from your current work. Great job on this front.
- Academics are about average, and they will need a strong GMAT score to boot to support that. Look for a 700+ as your target. In case that means that you are not able to get the target score in time for this year, look at next year. You would certainly be a stronger candidate if you apply then (assuming you achieve this score).
Hope this helps. Feel free to come back with more queries as needed.

Hi subhsngh0
- The key aspect in your application will be diversity. Your work at RIL and MSIL has been quite good, but you need to dig into your experiences to bring out the diversity factor more. The work at MSIL seems more amenable to that. The internships will not count, and the work done there is anyway quite similar to your work at RIL.
- Acads are quite good. The GMAT at 700 is fine for you. Focus on building strong post-ISB goals and expressing a good fit with the school.
- In terms of ECA, note that some things you have listed (#1,3,4) may carry limited impact for ISB. The others are helpful, but a bit more on this front will need to be expressed.
- If you can take care of these aspects and put in a strong app, you should have a chance at R2 this year. Go for it!
Hope this helps. Feel free to come back with more queries as needed.

Hi,
My profile is as follows
Class X - 93%
Class XII - 74%
B.E - 56%
After BE I started my own factory and ran it for 2 years (This I'm not putting in my official application). I also took up a 2-year PGPM course from a "B-School" in Bengaluru. The school was not AICTE/ UGC approved. However, employer's didn't seem to care. There I worked hard, got 7.8/10 (was top 3 in the batch). I was also a Placement committee member there and our committee was responsible for 100% placements (Its a big deal for tier-III college)
After this, I'm now working in a Startup from the past 3 years. Initially, I was the only employee, and hence I was looking after everything like Marketing, Accounting, Sales, Operations etc. Now after scaling up, I'm now primarily responsible for Key Accounts Management and Operations from past 1 year. I still am responsible for a bit of marketing work, but that is now a very marginal role.
My GMAT Score - 710 (V38, Q49)
What are my chances for ISB
