Hi All,

I have 5 Years of work experience and I am currently working in Bengaluru as a Regional Analytics Lead at a 400+ Million dollar UK Based marketing intelligence firm. I was a part of the Future Leaders program at my company and have received an annual award for Best Performance as well.

My scores:
Xth - 94.6%
XII - 93%
College: SRM University - Software Engineering (9.21 CGPA) (Scholarship Holder)


Extracurricular: I was in the university dance team when I was in college and have won 3-4 intra and inter-college dance competitions. At work, I have participated in my Company's Olympics and won 5 medals in events ranging from Cricket, Football, Carrom and Online Gaming.

Currently, I am getting 690 in my GMAT mock tests. I am wondering if I should take the GMAT or study a bit more and ensure a 700+ score.

What is a good score for my profile? Let me know if you need any more details !!

Really appreciate your time. Thanks :)

Hi arcKnight, 700+ will be good.

I don't get a sense of your goals, from your writeup. Well articulated goals (along with 700+ GMAT), should present a strong candidature to the Admissions committee.

Wow vamkrispk, an Aerospace engineer working in SBI! Interesting.

Considering your work experience, your future goals (consulting with a specialization in public sector and climate policy) seem to be slightly disconnected. Need to give it a good thought.

Thank you ISBeacon. I have quickly grown into an operational role in my organization and I am working on organizational challenges such as Employee Retention, Career Progression along with my primary work which is people and project management in the digital marketing domain. An MBA would allow me exposure to subjects such as Organizational Theory, Marketing, Strategy and Leadership etc. The peer group at ISB is highly diverse and bring's a varied thought process that would help me understand the subjects better and apply them in my future endeavours. My goal is to build a presence in the field of digital marketing and help companies small or big realize their goals through the power of marketing.

Also, there is a lot of fraud in the field of digital marketing and I want to educate the industry on the same and ensure people are smarter while buying digital media.

Do you think this is a strong goal?

Would advice against putting such generic statements in your goal.

I don't want to work as a freelancer. Wished to realize this goal while working with a company, however, in the long run,I want to build a marketing intelligence firm of my own.

And, thanks w.r.t the generic statement. Will try to avoid it. Really helpful. Thanks a lot.

Were you doing this full-time before you joined the Public sector bank?

Interesting profile overall. Considering that you do not seem to have worked in Tech industry, FinTech might be a long shot.
