Here are a few pointers about my profile
Academics: Undergraduate: 9.37 CGPA, 12th - 93.4%, 10th - 10 CGPA, B.Tech from VIT University Vellore (Rank ~13 in top colleges India)
GMAT score: 680 (Q49, V34)
Work experience: Current - Software Engineer at CRED ( 1.5 years), Software Engineer at Cisco Appdynamics (1.5 years). Have earned promotion in both the companies and in CRED, I worked as the second engineer for launching CRED Travel Escapes from 0 - 1.
Few points I am mentioning in essays:
1. Second engineer in the Travel team of CRED, built travel hotel booking product from scratch which has been used by 4M people in the last 4 months. In that I collaborated extensively with teams including a couple of third party vendors, and was the primary poc for integrating their platforms with ours.
2. During my time at Cisco, I won the annual global hackathon where me and my team built a solution for remote working issues. I was also selected as a volunteer for an NGO at Tanzania (remote), where me and my team worked for 4 months to solve local education problems in Tanzania using technology.
3. Hackathons have played a pivotal role in my life. In college, I won multiple hackathons at college / national level and that boosted in me problem solving skills and design thinking. I was also a part of Google Developers Group and VIT Dramatics club where I was the organiser for various events handling as many as 400 participants.
4. I have always focused on holistic learning which has helped evolve me into an all round personality - I have been an actor, a public speaker (at Toastmasters), sports player (have represented school in TT and Volleyball), and also an NCC cadet at school.
5. "Google vs CRED" - It was one of the hardest decisions for me. After two years of working at Cisco Appdynamics, one of the top 10 technological companies in the world, I knew I wanted to create a larger impact and wanted to go somewhere where my contribution is much larger. Hence, despite having my dream to work at Google in front of me, I chose to work at CRED.
6. Stoa - I have always been curious to learn about business and while working at CRED, I wished to contribute more to the product and also understand the business better. Hence, I enrolled in Stoa and have learnt about various business facets.
Can someone please suggest if my profile has any chance for ISB R1 or not?
