In my four years of work experience, first 8 months I supported my father in setting up a new business, 6 months worked in a startup as a business analyst and post that in a fortune 500 company.

In my current role as a Project Manager, I'm working on a multi-million M&A project, which involves regular interaction with colleagues from over 50+ countries.
Thanks a lot!
Hey
ahumne!
I would like to begin the profile evaluation with your academic background. While you have a decent GPA during your UG, your overall GMAT score of 720 works well in your favor and allows you to easily target ISB for the MBA program as more emphasis is always placed on your GMAT score and work experience.
Coming to your work experience, since MBA degrees require significant work experience, your 6 years of work experience ranging from working at your family to becoming a Product Manager would put you at par with other applicants. In addition, multiple awards and accolades for the commendable performance go on to vouch for the credibility of your skills. You have also mentioned international experiences, which prove to be a significant value addition to your profile as schools are on the lookout for candidates with a broadened perspective. That said, in order to further strengthen your profile, you can shed light on major projects worked on, how you have gone above and beyond the role, and any initiatives you’ve spearheaded during your professional experiences.
Moving forward to the extracurriculars, they also play an important role since schools are always looking for applicants with holistically developed profiles. Here you have highlighted some excellent leadership roles and involvement in a variety of activities. However, for the MBA degree, your most recent endeavors are taken into consideration. Given that it has been years since you participated in the activities mentioned earlier, I suggest highlighting some of your most recent achievements. In order to groom your profile, you can mention your involvement in any CSR activities carried out by your organization, or you can associate with any NGO and engage in volunteering work. In addition, you can also take up some additional certification courses to upskill yourself. This could further improve your profile and give you the required competitive edge.
Coming to the schools that you are targeting, based on the information you have provided, ISB will fall under the dream category with a 40 to 50% chance of acceptance.
That said, in order to hedge your bets wisely, I suggest you also target a few other dream and competitive schools for the MBA to hedge your bets. Here's a breakdown of the schools that you can target
Dream - INSEAD, LBS, ESADE, and ISE
Competitive - ESCP, ESSEC, Manchester, Warwick, and Imperial
All things considered, in order to increase your chances of getting admitted to these schools, you would need to ensure that you have a very strong application that highlights your strengths and overshadows your weaknesses. You need to showcase your journey, what makes you different from your peers, and how you are a great value addition to the school.
Therefore, in lieu of that, I would recommend you to check out our flagship ALL-IN-ONE service, which has helped 5000+ applicants get into their dream schools. You would also be entitled to end-to-end consulting combined with unlimited edits on your application documents. Not only this, you'd be consulted by a B-school alumnus who'd be helping you directly with your application process, right from finalising the right schools and submitting an impactful application to the school to preparing you for the interview and bagging scholarships!
