Hi
Vijil,
Thank you for sharing your profile. Well, your profile seems great on the surface. Your profile has elements of 'leadership' and 'impact.' You have a lot of international exposure in both your work and personal life, and you enjoy traveling, which is a significant advantage for you, but you will have to convey it properly. Since you are interested in European schools, I recommend that you apply to INSEAD and LBS. I NSEAD provides significant cultural diversity and a life that one has always dreamed of and wishes to live, whether it is academically, extracurricular, socially, globally, or in any other manner. If you want to look outside of Europe, you might be interested in reading an article on
Best MBA programs for Aspiring Entrepreneurs, it will give you some insights. If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a call with you sometime this week to discuss your profile in length and further chances to the b-schools. Feel free to
book a free session with us as per your convenience.

WE
Right now 8 years of full time WE in Germany with plenty of international exposure.
I am employed at a deep-tech company based in Germany (engineering/smart materials).
I started in Process Development. Essentially involving R&D activities into processes associated with the new technology implementation.
From fourth year, I moved onto Process Engineering which was an evolution from the Development activities from the previous 3 years of hardwork, where I was responsible for implementing the processes in newly developed production lines setup in Germany, Taiwan and China. Got to travel extensively in the next two years, to Taiwan and China, working with an international team helping setup assembly lines.
Later moved into Design & Development R&D with my FEM simulations as my area of specialisation.
Going forward I expect my role to be at management level role within the R&D group.
Extra curricular
1. Have successfully build up a ''higher education mentoring'' business started as a ''hobby /giving-back-to-society-venture'' and later decided to make a business model out of it due to the traction it started receiving. Employing 5 people, and generating more income than my full-time job in a time span of 2 years. Have set up efficient processes and systems such that the business is almost taking care of itself without much additional time investment.
2. Part of Alpine trekking club
3. Part of Swimming club
4. Enthusiastic bike rider - clocking minimum of 2000 kilometers per year for past 8 years
5. Passionate traveller interested in exploring new cultures (have been to almost all major capital cities in Europe and stayed more than a week.)
What schools can I target? I am looking to either apply to schools known for strong entrepreneurship/innovation labs.
Appreciate advice and will respond to all of the PMs!
