Hello,

Looking for a profile evaluation. Suggestions/comments will be highly appreciated.

X - 85%
XII - 77%
Bcom (Banking and Finance) - 58%
Post Graduation - 61%

GMAT score : 710 (Q48, V39, IR 6)

Work Experience:
-> 5 years of experience till March 2019.
-> I have worked in the impact investment space throughout. I have assessed more than 100 early-stage companies, evaluated their business models, did financial analysis, and took a credit call. I have assessed companies from financial inclusion, healthcare, affordable education, clean energy, and food and agri sectors.
-> In the last 12 months, I have been working on the other side of the table. I joined a healthcare start-up in Gurgaon and I have managed the entire fundraising process of the company. This is the first time it's out in the market to raise equity, I have managed the entire process end-to-end and have successfully received multiple term sheets from investors.
-> So the total works out like this - 4 years in lending to companies making social or environmental impact, and then 1 year raising funds for one such company.

Academic Achievements:
-> Represented school/college in several debate competitions.
-> Participated and won several quiz competitions at the school level.

Extra Curricular
-> Fitness enthusiast
-> News-worm
-> Petrolhead

Post MBA goal - By utilizing my experience in the lending space, having looked at several dozen companies from both the investor's side and the management's side, I now want to develop my financial analysis skills and managerial skills further (here is where the relevant subjects taught at ISB come) and work for an internaltion private equity fund, eventually setting-up a fund of my own.

The story - I have always been in the finance space. I was pursuing CA alongwith Bcom. While I cleared the entrance examination and the intermediate examination without much trouble, I was getting no satisfaction from what I was doing. I have to admit that I really did not have a clear path back then (I was 18!) and chose to pursue CA simply because my brother was a CA and everybody around me was doing just that! I started reading up about what alternatives I had, and that's when I stumbled upon financial inclusion. I have always had an inclination towards doing something for the society, and this gave me a way to link that with my interest in finance and numbers. I then applied for Post Graduation at Indian Institute of Forest Management and did my majors in Development Management (While the name says 'Forest Management', I studied only one subject on forestry. The institute is run by Ministry of Environment and Forest, hence the name). I studied about financial inclusion, microfinance, and other subjects on social development in rural and urban India. This knowledge came super handy at my first job when I worked with a financial institution lending to microfinance companies and farmer producer organizations. As I was ultimately dealing with rural population, everything taught at IIFM was super useful. I worked at my first job for 2 years, then moved to the second with similar responsibilities (but I got to look at far more diversified companies) and worked there for 2 years. I had to move cities due to my father's health, due to which I had to join the third one (healthcare company that I previously mentioned about). At the healthcare company, I got to understand everything from the other side as I was directly involved with the promoter-CEO of the company on day-to-day basis. Understood in great detail how companies are run, what challenges they face, the kind of issues that crop up (both internal and external). Also raised money for the company in the process.

My concerns -
-> Crappy grad score (I was doing CA alongwith it at that time. While I passed all the CA exams I gave, I did not complete it so I don't thing that'll save me a lot)
-> Please tell me what else should I be concerned about.

Thanks!

Hi,

My profile is as follows

Class X - 93%
Class XII - 74%
B.E - 56%

After BE I started my own factory and ran it for 2 years (This I'm not putting in my official application). I also took up a 2-year PGPM course from a "B-School" in Bengaluru. The school was not AICTE/ UGC approved. However, employer's didn't seem to care. There I worked hard, got 7.8/10 (was top 3 in the batch). I was also a Placement committee member there and our committee was responsible for 100% placements (Its a big deal for tier-III college)

After this, I'm now working in a Startup from the past 3 years. Initially, I was the only employee, and hence I was looking after everything like Marketing, Accounting, Sales, Operations etc. Now after scaling up, I'm now primarily responsible for Key Accounts Management and Operations from past 1 year. I still am responsible for a bit of marketing work, but that is now a very marginal role.

Hello

Though there's very little information around your professional work ex, the info shows that your work ex might be quite different from most applicants. This can work in your favor by helping you stand out. However, also focus on career progression, achievements and impact of your work.
Moving on to Extracurricular- not sure if it is extracurricular or a part of your professional experience itself. See if there are other activities too. Again, like work ex, more than a laundry list, your contribution here will matter more.
Past academic scores look decent- what sort of score are you expecting in the GMAT?
Lastly, not mention of your career goals and why you wish to study at ISB. This is going to be the most critical aspect of your application- all the more so because of your professional background and your age- you will be an outlier that means you need to show not only more maturity than most applicants but also a fit with ISB in terms of age, work ex and goals.
So make sure you address all the above along with a high GMAT score- because due to the last moment unanticipated change, no one knows at this stage how tricky or selective R3 is going to be- my guess is not even ISB has a clear answer to that.

Hello Nightmare007

Your profile seems to check most boxes- GMAT, Decent past scores (I would not worry too much on the 6.6/10 as your GMAT can compensate for it), Brand on the CV.
Cannot see any extracurricular here though. They are another way to bring some diversity to your profile. The IT tag might be your biggest struggle (but certainly not a deal breaker by any means).
Not sure what your question is around eligibility- with 4 years of work ex and a degree you are eligible of course.
Since you want to hear only on profile- you have all the decent elements (except extracurricular activities) to warrant an interview call.
