Hi Rx10,
Overall good profile. B-schools value entrepreneurial experience, especially if you have the achievements and $$ impact to show on your resume. You have these, and that's a plus point.
I'd like to gain some more clarity on points like these:
Became the first company to get a Operating license by State Transport Authority - is that for the region where you were operating? If you can show the best performance among other regions and similar differentiating factors, then it will help.
Managed the city operation single-handedly - this is a good point, however you would still want to show how you led internal teams and worked with external stakeholders to run the operations perfectly. Sometimes applicants focus overly on "single handedly" doing things - however you don't want to give the impression that you were a one-man army and weren't delegating well.
Now the thing that I am concerned about is your low GMAT score. I am going to stress upon a retake if you are targeting the top 20 US MBA programs. The Covid situation and lack of testing facilities hasn't done much wonders to the GMAT expected from Indian applicants (as in lower the GMAT threshold), so a 720+ GMAT would still be as beneficial.
we can discuss more on the goals to understand exactly what "general management" position you are seeking and through what route. Feel free to share your resume at
