Hi

I am an ISB aspirant for the class of 2018.

Kindly find my profile below and let me know

Work experience:

Worked in a manufactuing MNC- rubber and tyre machinery unit (manufacturing Unit) - 20 months
1. Green field factory
2. Involved in the commissioning and tuning of complex CNC machines
and robots.
3. Moved on to supply chain. Worked as a procurement executive. Dealt
and improved various aspects like cost cutting, negotiation, contract closage
with more than 100 national and international level suppliers

Worked in an educational based startup - 5 months
1. Developed online course creation policy
2. Developed and frameworked learners studying pattern
3. Data analytics on learners pattern of study

Got interested in Consulting. Since Data is the key today, joined a full time

Got an offer from a Global Manufacturing/Automotive MNC as a "Data scientist"
1. Currently working on supply chain/manufacturing analytics
2. Working on Internet of Things (IOT) and Big data

Extracurricular : Active sports person in my school level, Quiz, Drama , Running
a blog for explaining concepts in an easier way.

Total Work Experience as on March 31,2017 - 42 months

What I want to become:
1. I enjoy solving problems of clients and providing solutions in a understandable way
2. This predominantly drills down to the area of "Consulting"
3. Consulting and Data are complimentary. Considering this has my strength

Thanks

Hi Karthick

Here is an evaluation of your profile.

Your academics and professional experience are both pretty good. The certification in analytics and your current work certainly give you an edge over other applicants from a technical background.

Extra-curriculars seem ok - participation across various spheres, but you should also be focusing on achievements. On things to improve, you might like to take up some more leadership activities/lead roles in projects depending on how far your current employer allows you to. Fit with consulting is certainly good.

Overall, a 680+ will definitely get you into contention, though aim for 700 or as high above that as you can. Overall chances are solid.

Thank you so much for your prompt response. Really appreciate that.

I didnot mention few things in the above post:
1. Co/Extracurricular activities - Presented more than 10 papers in various national/international symposium and also won prizes
2. Won few intra/inter school quiz competitions.
3. Was a part of school NCC and attended few camps.
4. In L&T, I handled a fabrication team of more than 25 ITI/Diploma workers. Since it was a brand new factory,
signed a lot of new suppliers and done cost cutting and localization for few imported components.

Overall, as you mentioned, I will try to see if i can get some explicit leadership roles here.

Cheers
Balaji
