Hi,
Hope this mail finds you in good health and spirits.
My profile debrief is as follows:
X - 69%
XII - 69%
B.Tech in Electronics and Communication - 81.2%
GMAT - 680
Work Experience:
Here's the interesting part, as usual got placed in the campus recruitment and joined TCS.
But, my propensity towards entrepreneurship always has been a constant motivating factor. Though I gave my best in the job - in Business Intelligence vertical and recieved several accolades and laurels from the UK based banking client and TCS including " Star of the month and quarter".
After 2 years in the job, I took a great calculative risk and opened a trading firm in Odisha which deals in Public Address system and electronic spare spares. After taking a capital loan of 10 lacs and my savings, I started trading and selling it to the market. I opened my firm in Jan, 2011 and the first year itself saw a annual turn over of 1.5 crores. Over the period of 3.5 years, my turn over rose to 35 crores.
Have relevant IT returns to proof above.
Total work exp : 2 years in TCS
3.5 years in my own business.
Major Achievement:
Created jobs for 25 people in my trading firm.
Massive growth in volume.
Why MBA?
Want to expand my network and knowledge so that I can achieve my ambition to transform from a regional trading firm to a national one. Want to diversify my business into Carrying and forwarding agencies of other brands.
Extra Curricular:

President and main organizer for college level festival s.
Avid singer

Hey Avirup,
Well, as you might guess, the most awesome thing in your profile is of course your firm! You seem to have been doing very well, and you are leading a team of 25! That is a LOT of leadership! That, plus the fact of having successfully founded a firm will look very good for you.
You didn't write which school you graduated from, so I can't really comment on that (I assume it's NOT an IIT), although your grades are good. Your GMAT is good, though not great, and should allow you to apply to some pretty good schools. Otherwise, your extra activities seem similar, also good, without being stellar.
But I do think that with your business success you should have a shot at the Indian business schools. And if, worst comes to worst, you don't get in, I think all you would have to do is improve your GMAT by 30+ points, and you'd have a great shot!
All the best,
JF
