Hi Foxtrot109649,
Thank you for sharing this information. It sounds like you have good work experience, but almost too much experience for most traditional MBA programs. You're at the very top of the age bracket, even for ISB Hyderbad. That being said, if you can exceed a 700 on the GMAT, it is probably worth giving it a shot. Your ECs are good, but maybe consider seeking ways to demonstrate leadership within them, most specifically in activities where you help underserved populations.
It's hard to give an accurate sense of your chances without a GMAT score, and given your age, it's a little more unpredictable. I would say ISB Hyderbad would be a reasonable target. You may also consider some of the middle tier US schools like Owen, Carlson, Goizueta... (T20-30).
Feel free to send a note to scott@personalmbacoach.com to further discuss your school selection and application strategy. We regularly work with folks in India and can certainly help here!

Hey Scott ,
Thanks once again for reaching out and taking the time and effort to review my profile for MBA, I am indeed looking for an executive MBA option from top colleges, however considering my profile and age i am not certain how the process will unfold. At present, the only focus is on getting a solid GMAT score.I will surely explore the options available to me on this forum.
Regards
Harsh Vardhan
