Dear Kamal,
I completely understand your hesitation, but I genuinely believe that now is the perfect time for you to pursue an Executive MBA. As an alumnus of IIM Calcutta and having observed candidates across other esteemed campuses like IIM Ahmedabad and ISB, I can assure you that Executive MBA programs are designed to accommodate experienced professionals of various age groups.
While it's true that you may not be eligible to apply for IIM Bangalore due to their specific criteria, there are excellent opportunities awaiting you at IIMA, IIMC, IIML, and ISB. Your eligibility for these programs will depend on your GMAT score, but I am confident that your experience and skills will make you a strong candidate.
Instead of solely relying on your peers' opinions, I encourage you to reach out to alumni from these prestigious B-schools to gain firsthand perspectives. They can provide valuable insights into their experiences and how an Executive MBA has positively impacted their careers.
If you require any further assistance or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me via direct message or email at

Wishing you all the best in your decision-making process.
Best regards,
