Hey, alphao123
Your profile looks great for applying to many top business schools in the US and worldwide. Your excellent grades impressive GMAT score of 675, and valuable work experience as an AI/ML engineer with quick promotions make you a strong candidate.

Hi,
Well, Indian male category has a lot of competition from within themselves, but remember : they are the largest category of applicants and regularly get accepted by top b-schools. So, the key aspect is to differentiate yourself and stand out so that you can maximize your chances of admission, despite the intense competition. From this viewpoint, your individual profile matters a lot. In your case, your acads look great. The GMAT at a 730 equivalent (yes, I am still converting
) is about average. It won't give you any advantage applying to the top 7-10 US MBA programs (any others should be doable), but would be a decent score for the UK/European programs.Your career arc looks great. Now you will need a strong resume that focuses upon your achievements, impact and leadership. Building an MBA resume can be a little tricky, but that's something that will help you stand out.
What about your ECAs? Do you have something recent since the time you graduated from college?

alphao123 - some thoughts/ clarifications:
1. Your undergrad (IIT) pedigree and GPA are good angles. While the GMAT is good, it'd be borderline for M7's and LBS, given the competitive Indian Male applicant pool. For US Top-15 broadly and EU/ UK programs, the acads are solid. Having said that, it's always good to aim for a strategic mix of Ambitious, Reach and Safe programs.
2. Your work-ex sounds interesting, given the employer brand and promotions. Would like to understand more the key achievements in your roles, skill-sets gained, etc. Prioritizing schools would also depend on your post-MBA goals among other factors such as these.
3. A strong narrative covering your work-ex, career goals, and 'why MBA' is crucial. To that end, Extracurricular activities are also important, to present a holistic profile.
Hope this helps a bit. Feel free to reach out for a deeper chat.
