Hi,
Thanks for doing this.
Age: 27, applying Round 1/2 for 2018 entry. Indian Male
GMAT: 710
Undergrad: IU Kelley, Major Finance, GPA: 3.3
Grad: Vanderbilt, Master's in Finance, GPA: 3.6
Experience:
1) Worked in internal consulting for a while at a large real estate organization for about 6 months.
2) Worked in strategy with my family business for about 6 months full-time and since been involved part-time as member of the Board of Directors. Realized the business doesn't need my full time involvement. Its a infrastructure development business with about USD 15M in revenue YOY. I mostly help in financial planning, strategy and helped to acquire a smal manufacturer a year or so back for about USD 3M.
3) For the past 3 years I have mostly been working in a VC in HK which invests in digital media, marketing and advertising companies. After a while of doing this, the partners realized that in APAC there was a lack of new media understanding especially with advertisers so we started a Accelerator for local and foreign companies in order to accelerate the growth of these companies in APAC while helping the brands to innovate their marketing channels. I have mostly been involved in deal sourcing and acceleration of portfolio companies in a very hands-on way. From time to time, I go on secondments and help these companies out from strategy to pitching to operations. Currently, I am on a 6 month secondment to a company that we are helping to develop scale in SG and so I have relocated there. I am leading their supply side development efforts in SE Asia. So I have kinda gone from a pure investment role to a venture builder kinda role now. I have lead the investment for 2 companies and venture building for 2 more companies and had 3 exits.
Looking at a mix of schools. Not sure a 2 yr US MBA is worth the time or money currently.
US Schools: Kellogg (1yr), Cornell (1 yr)
EU Schools: LBS, Cambridge, IESE
Asian Schools: INSEAD, HKUST
Top choices being: LBS & Kellogg but would be happy with Cambridge & INSEAD
Post-MBA career: Want to do corporate strategy at a large MNC and move into their venture building in a few years and finally start my own fund 10 years or so down the line. While I also want to help my family business in expanding outside my home state in India in other territories through strategic partnerships.
Looking forward to your thoughts on this. Thanks again!

Hello there!
Well you definitely have a strong, unique and interesting profile. And venture building + family business stuff is quite a nice combo.
Your two real weaknesses are your GMAT and your Indian background. Things can get miiiighty tight at top schools for Indian applicants, although I do feel that you have so much differentiating you, that in the essays you can do a fantastic job of being so different that they might not even pool you with Indians. And that would be a good strategy to begin with
I hope this is helpful.
Best,
Jon
