Hi Abhishek,
The list of b-schools should be within your reach. Your short and lon term goals are very clear and in sync with each other. You must be ready to answer the adcoms on headship skills, achievements in or outside workplace & other aptitudes. If you are able to skilfully write application essyas and work hard on interviews, then you would have fair chances of admission in top b-schools.
Let me know if you require any assistance in slection of b-schools. You may PM you details to have a discussion in length.
Regards
Erina

In the long term I look to start my own technology company after getting enough insight and experience in the industry. When a business opportunity presents itself, I want to be ready in every way possible and grab it with both hands.
