Hi Sagar,
Thanks for posting. Well to start with, competition is fierce among Indian engineers... that said you have a number of strengths that should help, including the US Masters with solid performance, and some solid experience at Ford. Your GMAT is fine, could be higher for your peer group... but overall the basis of your profile is solid and maybe the thing you'll have to work most on convincing the adcomm of is the WHY... and the rationale behind your stated goals which right now sound like they have no relation to your previous/current experience... but if you can explain that connection further as to how it does make sense, and the why behind applying for the MBA and why now, it will help. Also keep in mind it will be important to highlight the 'people' skills you've developed thus far as well, to show more than just the technical/analytical sides of your profile.
Good luck on the apps and let us know how we can help!

Hi Jen,
Thanks for your feedback. To your point of convincing the AdComs about why I want an MBA I plan to portray all the skills I have gained during each of my experiences and which skills I lack.
My story for changing jobs and my long and short term goals.
My longer term aim is to take up the role as a VP/Director in the technology industry (Amazon, Microsoft, Google or a similar firm). During my job after master's as an engineer at Ford working on design variation issue resolution I gained valuable problem-solving, people management and decision making skills but, in-due time the number of challenges and the scope for growth reduced so I decided to take on a different role. In my next job, while working on product designs and managing product cost I gained finance management skills. When I was presented my current opportunity, I found the position more challenging as it required me to think differently, for each project was different from the other. My current position, has taught me to look at things differently and question everything.
Following my MBA I wish to join the technology industry as a Brand Manager. But, to achieve my goal of becoming a successful Brand Manager I lack sales, marketing and overall finance skills and the PGP from ISB will prepare me for this journey.
