Hi,
Academics: B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering (82%) with distinction from Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore (within Top 30 engineering colleges in India)
GMAT: 680
Work Experience:
After graduating, I got a placement into Tata Consultancy Services and worked for 1.5 years (Outstanding contributor award, Employee of the quarter, Client appreciation award etc). I was exposed to multi cultural work ambience and was the youngest SME(Suject matter expert) on Data warehousing/Analytics.
But my natural propensity was towards entrepreneurship and after taking some loan and personal savings, opened my own firm which deals in manufacturing electronic spare parts and trading Public address electronic equipments, slowly but steadily, I worked my heart out and nurtured this baby whose age is 5.5 years currently, and now my baby's annual turn over is over 7 million USD. I, currently employee more than 25 people (and this was my dream "providing employment" rather than "being employed").
In this journey, I have several stories of both hardship (Example : not sleeping over 36 hours straight to deliver my first tender contract and how I did those things with limited avenues) and of sweet success.
Total work exp: 7+ years
Short term goal: Take my firm from "regional status" to "national status" in terms of sales and revenue generated.
Long term goal: Provide employement to 1000 people by expanding my business in not only trading electronic equipments but also in logistics( providing efficient Supply chain and logistics to companies)area.
Target school: Kellogs, Booth, Kelley, ISB, Anderson.
Kindly provide your honest feedback in my case, as I am looking for an admit for 2016 (as you can see I'd like to plan everything in advance)?
