Hello there!,
I am Shravan from India. I currently work at Tata Motors Limited.I graduated in Mechanical Engg from NITK-Surathkal (one of the top NITs in India).
My GMAT score is 770 (Q51, V42) and my GPA is 7.8/10.I will have 3 years of work experience by Matriculation (2016).
I have acquired experience in both Sales and Service in the Automotive Industry.Here's a brief rundown of my career so far:
Customer Support Manager, for the Tata Motors' fleet management operations for the Delhi Transport Corporation (~1.5 years)
OK, this role was very unconventional and is slightly difficult to explain.I was part of a 3 member team from the OEM in charge of overseeing operations at a bus depot or bus garage ( This particular one was the largest such bus depot in the world according to Wikipedia). During my shifts, I was in charge of guiding the service provider workforce of nearly 30 people consisting of Mechanics ,Electricians and Works Managers . Within a year, we achieved a turnaround in the performance of our bus garage with on-road bus breakdowns reducing by nearly 70%.
After spending more than a year in this role, I decided to move on to sales to gain more business exposure.
Territory Sales Manager for Pre-Owned vehicles division (Feb 2015- Present)
This one too is slightly unconventional IMO. I am currently in charge of the Pre-Owned Vehicles division for an entire state with two people directly reporting to me and overseeing a Sales Team of nearly 20 people spread across dealerships. In a short span of team I have achieved a volume growth of nearly 30% YOY and have expanded the dealer network.Also, according to my HR, I am the youngest TSM ever for this role.
Extracurriculars
1 Placement coordinator in my college ( made sure nearly 90% of my batch got recruited in a difficult placement year)
2. Community Fund Raising for an NGO
Please let me know if I have a shot at any of the top 15 schools.My dream school is Tuck and my backup options are Ross,Darden and Yale.
Post MBA I want to practice consulting focusing on the Automotive Industry.Long term, I would like to return to the Industry in a strategy / Leadership role.
