Hi experts,

I am Bhaskar from India. I am looking for some advices to build a strong profile.

Target schools: ISB, IIMs, XLRI.

Education:
10th: 84%
12th : 70%
B.Tech : 7.4

GMAT: Not taken.

Work exp: 5.4 years.
Org : TCS
Industry: IT services.
Role : ERP SCM techno-functional consultant.

Brief on work exp. : Currently working as a SCM track lead for a Saudi client (MOH). Responsible to handle a team of 3 Indian and 2 Arabic resources.

I have worked with clients like Honeywell(US), Etihad(UAE), GAZT(SAUDI), MOH(SAUDI) and KACST(SAUDI).

Honeywell: Not so much to talk about, joined as a fresher stayed there for 8 months. (Peoplesoft was kind of dead thus moved to Oracle)

Etihad: Developed a fully customized HR portal for crew members featuring leave, recognition ,snapshot,PIP etc. This portal have 2 inbound integration (SAP and AIMS) and 1 outbound integration.

Presented the application as a ready made custom solution for aviation industry to my company's pre sales and leadership team.

KACST: placed as a Technical Consultant with 4 years of work exp. SCM track lead and lead a team of 3 people. Developed custom workflows that automated the whole vehicle and housing booking process. Worked on custom solutions to prevent corruption.

Extra curricular:

2012-15: Co-ordinator of college tech fest - EDGE(second biggest in eastern India after IIT KGP).

2016: Head of gaming committee, Cyber Crusade, and led a team of 25+ people. Cyber Crusade was (probably still is) the tournament with largest prize pool in any college gaming event - 10 lacks+. Teams from Mumbai, Hyderabad, Odisha, BHU, Assam and West Bengal participated.

Participated and won 4-5 counter strike tournaments back in 2013-16.
I had a big passion for gaming and wanted to become an eSport player. We did not get a sponsorship as a team so it didn't work out in the end.

After joining corporate,I have not done such activities that I can showcase. I go to gym know about nutrition a bit and read books.

Family business: I am highly involved in my family's manufacturing business for last 2 years. Developed better quality products, quality assurance, adding machinery and going digital helped me to gain 4% profit margin. We employ ~120 workers and have an annual turnover of ~3 cr inr. This business helped me a lot to grow as a person and added new perspective that also helped me in my IT consulting field.

[People have told me that family business experience actually does not count that much. If you can clarify how to use it to my advantage.]

I am targeting consulting as my post MBA industry.

# Am I lacking leadership exp. in my resume? [Asking as I have seen resumes with great leadership focus exp.]

# I have also completed data analytics course and can join a new project in next 3 months. I personally enjoy analytics and I believe it would be a good to have skill set in Consulting too. What's your opinion?


What skills you would suggest me to acquire if I take another year to build a stronger profile to crack ISB and consulting?


TIA

Hello MishalSen1

Work profile is strong, owing to the CA background and the career progress and achievements look impressive.
Extracurricular is a mixed bag, some activities show potential, but some seem old or irrelevant. However, you don't need a laundry list anyway, so the trick will be picking the right activity and building a story around it that is relevant to the application.
GMAT is slightly below avg, but could be compensated in your case, if the work history and future goals are presented well.
That brings me to the missing career goals- this is a key factor in successful admissions- school would want to listen to you why MBA after CA, if this is clear and realistic, you have a decent shot.

You may want to read here on what factors work in a profile and here to add to your research on career goals.
