Hello,
I need your help to know about my profile, and what should I do to make it better. What schools should I aim for. I'm applying only in 2017 so I have 1 year time.
Post MBA I want to work in Technology/Consulting or Finance. I realise that's not a clear answer. But I'm working on it. Its a surprisingly hard question.
Maybe in the future start my own company, though I'm not really sure. I'm still figuring out.

Hey there good sir!
Very good to hear from you!
And its fantastic that you are starting to prepare NOW for your future.
So overall your profile is pretty good. You have a good employer and a good GMAT. Your GPA/UG school is your one big weakness that I can see, but I think for your school list you should be fine.
Of course if you have the chance to get a better GMAT score it will help.
But I think with your specific profile, the thing that you really need is an ANGLE - What is UNIQUE about you? What do you have to offer? What are your passions? Because the biggest danger for you especially given the pool you are applying from (Indian/Male/Tech) is that your profile will disappear amongst many similar profiles. And you don't want that!
So basically start thinking!
If you need further assistance, dont hesitate to contact us,
Best,
Jon
