Hi,
You have a good profile, Turningpages. What I see is substantial achievements and leadership impact, and when presented nicely, that definitely helps in building strong applications. Your career goals sound valid. When writing the goals essay, do connect the dots with what you have done so far, how you have grown and what skills you lack for your future goal.

HI Nibh,
Its always beneficial to get a score above 700. Other than your score and other academics, the admissions team will evaluate your work experience (quality of work, promotions, impact you created), and your profile outside work - what are the kind of ECAs you have done and how have you succeeded in doing those? Fell free to share more details for an indepth evaluation.

All looks good here. With a decent app, you should have a solid chance with your current profile. Could you specify a bit more on the product management role - do you mean within the automotive industry or outside?

Ok, this might be an odd one. I have 13 years experience in the Indian IT industry and with international exposure in London for the past 5 years. Been working with a leading Insurance client for the past 8 years in various roles and have good exposure in the insurance market especially in Europe. I also am a Certified member of the Chartered Insurance Institute, United Kingdom and hold an Executive Certificate in Management from the University of Virginia. Post MBA I plan to transition into a Consulting role in Insurance. Other information on my profile as follows
Undergrad Information- Mechanical Engineering from Biju Patnaik University of Technology, graduated in 2005 with 73.33%.
GMAT:750
No major extra curriculars to talk about but have been involved in long distance running since 2012 and participated in half marathons in India and UK.
Looking for a feedback on profile and if it makes sense to apply to the ISB PGP program this year.

Wouldn't this goal be really niche? Do you know for sure that Consulting companies, at least the major ones, do have such roles to offer?

Hi,
Deloitte, Bain & Co, Accenture all have Insurance practices and roles do open up occasionally. Deloitte I believe has a larger presence than the others in the Insurance space.

Looks fairly good here. Given that your undergrad was only 69% (yes, we know - Pune University!), you should try and improve the score by 20 points if possible. Other than that, start focusing on your app now. You should have a good chance with a decent app.

Very interesting profile, and with a 680+ you should have a solid chance at the Indian schools. Aim for 720+ for INSEAD though. Also keep in mind that you will have little time to prepare the INSEAD app after getting your score, so work in parallel on that (if targeting R1) and other apps as well to your GMAT prep.
