HI there,
Thats an impressive profile. You have achieved quite a bit for your less number of professional years. We understand that mining is a precarious industry, riddled with government regulations and policies (a family member retired as the CMD of India's mining PSU, and he is also an alum of your college if I got my hunch about the name right). That you are able to innovate and change processes in this environment is note worthy.
You are targeting the some of the best b-schools out there, so competition is going to be tough, although you should get some advantage of coming from a non-conventional Indian category. Applying to 10 b-schools in one round does not look like a possibility to me- you would be applying at the cost of submitting weak applications.
Do reach out to discuss further.
