The gmat score appears to be extremely lopsided. It will be a red flag to adcom. I assume your Verbal is ~73? This would make adcom have major concerns on your English communication. I would try to raise it to V78-79.

Thanks for sharing your profile Nimbuzzz !
Your strengths: Top NIT + IIT-JEE 99.35%ile > shows strong quant aptitude. Graduated in the top 15% (good, even if not “IIT gold medal” tier). GMAT Focus 655 > percentile breakdown is nice (100% Q, 96% DI). But try to retake for a balanced and higher score of 675+.
GPA/CGPA equivalent (7.71/10) is decent, but not a standout.
Implication: Schools will see you as a strong quant, but they may question verbal/communication fit. This can be balanced through essays, recos, and interviews; you need to demonstrate crisp, confident communication.
Professional Experience (~6 years, Startup Scaling & GTM) is a strength.
Impact stories: Scaled market share from 6% → 40% in 3 years (huge, clear outcome-driven). Built audience at 2B+ views / 3M+ subs (high visibility). Designed a repeatable GTM playbook → IP value. Turned around a city’s profitability, launched new markets. Led 30+ people (proves people management).
Risks: All experience is in startups, which is great, but some schools may ask: Where’s the global/MNC exposure? Emphasize cross-border users, global partnerships, remote multicultural teams, or markets you launched into, and how you adapted your GTM by culture. INSEAD explicitly prizes global perspective, not just travel.
Consulting recruiters might probe if you’ve worked with structured frameworks or client-facing exposure.
Your stories scream entrepreneurial leadership and growth hacking at scale. These are very appealing to European & Asian schools (INSEAD, LBS, HEC, ISB, NUS) and to consulting recruiters.
Leadership & Extras: Consistent people-first leadership (attrition <10%). Entrepreneurial hustle (profitable merch biz, startup attempts). Strong sports + discipline (Kho-Kho captain, NCC cadet). Multiple employee awards (backup leadership narrative). This builds a balanced, human side to your profile. Schools will see you as a high-energy contributor who brings team spirit + results.
Goals:
Short-term: Consulting in GTM/digital → plausible given your experience. Your startup background gives you “growth” credibility, and consulting firms value execution leaders.
Long-term: Build scalable platforms/IPs → ties to your history of experimentation & scaling. Schools like to see this “entrepreneurial loop.”
Just be ready to frame your goals as consulting → learn frameworks, client exposure → launch ventures later, so it feels structured.
Areas for improvement:
International Exposure: If you can highlight projects with cross-border/remote global teams, this strengthens your case for global schools.
Storytelling: Your resume should scream “impact + scale + leadership.” Essays should balance this with humility + teamwork + people-first.
Recommendations: Choose recommenders who can validate your leadership and communication, not just results.
Questions for you:
1) Have you had any direct international exposure (clients, teams, launches abroad), or can you highlight this in your essays?
2) Do you want to stay in Asia/Europe post-MBA, or are you open to the U.S. (with higher competition + visa challenges)?
We would love to learn more about your academic background, extracurricular activities, professional experience, and personal journey so we can offer a more tailored assessment of your profile and evaluate your chances at your target schools more accurately. Feel free to book a profile evaluation session.
