Hi Jon,
Greetings! My name is Paras Arora, and I am looking to apply in the first round of applications to schools in USA and Canada. I am in the process of writing my essays and finalizing my resume. In the second aspect I have a doubt and could really use your view on this.
Currently I am working as the country head, Operations for a tech startup in New Delhi. I have been in this position for little over a year. I have always been interested in startups and tech space. But at the same time I wanted start something of my own as well, which I did and thankfully it clicked and I got good business traction. Now both of my endeavors overlap although the industries that both cater to are completely different. At one point I feel like I have succeeded to build something of my own and should be on my resume but at the same time i doubt that it may reflect me in a negative frame by highlighting that I might not have been fully committed to one cause.
What I want to know is that is it okay to show two overlapping experiences on an MBA Resume, and what positive or negative impacts it can have?
Thank you very much for your time.
Cheers!

Hey dude,
Great to hear from you!
And it seems like you are doing some awesome stuff here.
there is no problem at all having two experiences simultaneously. Plenty of people do that.
And my first piece of advice is: slooooooooow down. with one year experience, you aren't going to get into any good business schools. You need at least two more before it becomes a viable option.
If you have any other questions, do not hesitate,
Best,
Jon
Best,
Jon
But that's not a bad thing. It will give you time to learn, work lead, improve your profile, get an awesome GMAT, and gain experience, all while improving your profile for an MBA.

Hey Jon
Thanks so much for your help.
Actually I will have a total experience of 5 years when I matriculate in Aug 2017. What I meant was that I have been in my current position for a little over a year. Apart from the above experience that I mentioned, I am a 2012 passout in mechanical Engineering from IIT Roorkee.
Gmat: 720
GPA: 6.55
two promotions in my first company.
Community Work and extracurriculars :
1. Led community initiatives to promote cycling in Mumbai and lead many rides to promote cycling in the city.
2. Participated and contributed in a drive which successfully broke guinness world record for maximum participation in a Road safety event.
3. Strategy adviser to an electronics product company.
Can You judge my profile for Top 20 B-schools in US in and my chances at a scholarship.
Thanks in advance!
