Hi Raghav,

You have a decent profile. Your GMAT Score, academics and work experience are really good. But I would recommend you to gain 1-2 years of experience more and build up your profile. Meanwhile, start doing the groundwork for the B-Schools. Start taking initiatives at your work place and connect with some NGO.

You may also gauge your chances of getting admission to top business school by trying this amazing tool https://bit.ly/1C9o2Md

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
