Hi there,
Thanks for posting. As you likely know, you are part of a common pool of applicants-- Indian engineering applicants. That can be challenging in and of itself, because there will be a lot of similar applications that come through, and you don't want to blend in with the others, OR to sound overly technical. So think about what in your profile or application would stand out, especially among that crowd. The fact that you are a team leader of 50 employees is a big one.... any leadership and management experience is a plus and means you can speak from that perspective and about those experiences within classroom discussions for example, so be sure to focus a lot on those experiences and what you've learned from them. Think about teamwork, communication skills, and so on....how you work with others. The quant side and technical side are already evident.
Your work experience is on the lower side, so be sure you can make a case for why NOW is the best time for b-school, and how the experience you have had has been quality experience. You could also consider getting involved in something outside of work this spring/summer.
IMD, Yale, Booth, and probably INSEAD will be your more challenging of your list. In terms of others to consider, you could look at schools known for energy strengths if you're looking for oil and gas, like the Texas schools (McCombs, Rice), or Haas for example. But be sure to narrow down your school list in the coming months-- you don't want to sacrifice QUALITY of your application for quantity, and each application should be tailored to each school.
Keep us posted and let us know how else we can help!
