Hi,
Hi amulya619, thanks for your question! Will do my best to address my comments in blue below...
Can you please evaluate my profile?
Name: Amulya Khanna
Age: Male
Age: 28
Nationality: Indian
GMAT Score: 610(Q49, V25)This is a tough score to be competitive in top US programs- if you have just taken a few times- reconsider taking again or try the GRE if you feel that you can't move this any more.

Then i went to Suzlon global services ltd where i am still working and acting as state lead for all quality related activities. I have to prepare MIS and see that all works are adhered to quality standards. I have a field team of 12 to help me.Work experience in clean energy very interesting.
Awards and Honors: 1. Successfully handled a large site with limited resources.

Weak Points: Lack of any third party certificate to prove. All certificates are internal.
Vision: I want to start a food chain.Well I wasn't expecting this! But could be interesting- honestly not sure you need an MBA for this- you need $$ to invest or influence to attract investors- I'd like to know the "Why" for this- certainly an MBA could help you better understand RE issues, management, motivation, financials...
What do i expect from the MBA: With my experience i only have a partial skill for what it takes a good leader. I expect that MBA will provide me with the necessary knowledge so that the partial skills can be turned competent.
I want to do MBA in operations or general management and looking for fall 2017 intake.
Can you please suggest some decent universities where i have realistic chance of admission? Also, what can i do to make my profile better.Take GRE if not GMAT, I would take Ross out with current GMAT, look at Purdue, Smeal, Iowa, George Washington U, Georgetown to name a few- I'd look in the 30-50 range and look at schools with high acceptance rates- and no that does not mean they can't be valuable to you- you also want strong entrepreneurship program and maybe even restaurant management program- Cornell's MBA has the hospitality management component. Also really think about how your story fits together- there must be a reason why you want to go from wind energy to food- which is not fully clear to me from this- so work on telling that authentic story and I bet it is a very interesting one! Good luck!
