Hi,
My profile is as follows.
I will be taking GMAT on Aug. 14, 2015.
Academics - I am a Chartered Accountant by qualification, completed in May 2012. Broadly speaking, the numbers have been on the lower spectrum of my abilities throughout.
I completed my B.com (Undergraduate) course last year after a gap of 4-5 years. I did it only because there are a lot of things which require one to be a graduate to pursue plus some companies have mandatory requirements of graduation irrespective of professional qualification. However, since it never was my first priority, the scores in B.com absolutely stink. very bad.
I have cleared CFA (CFAI, USA) Level 1 also, in December 2012. I wanted to break into the world of Finance so thought it should help but soon realized that work was largely limited to back end research and quant analytics with a CFA degree. So decided to keep it on the backburner since then.
Work experience - CA course requires a mandatory 42 month training. The training covered lots of aspects around auditing, taxation, accounts, financial management etc. Have certificate for the same from the institute as well.
After qualification in May 2012 i started working in a CA firm (consulting firm) as a consultant / analyst. Profile there was Business valuations, financial modelling and then pretty much of everything (e.g. audit, accounts, taxation, transfer pricing) when primary work is not available.
Moved on to Protiviti consulting in June 2013. Its a US based MNC which specializes in risk consulting and business advisory. Currently working with them as an Assistant Manager based out of Delhi / NCR. With these guys i have had huge exposure into Process reviews, process designing, strategic and analytical assignments for identifying cost saving opportunities or achieving business growth, detecting frauds, improving the control mechanism of the client so as to plug loopholes and prevent frauds. I can go on and on about it.
I have my current boss and couple of clients too who would swear by my work.
I also wish to enroll myself for territorial division of Indian Army one day. Its a dream to serve my country in this lifetime and i will fulfill it.
Here comes the question:
I am looking for a one year course which can leverage existing profile. looking to shift into strategy / business consulting with some reputed name. But, i have no clue as to which schools to target. I am open to studying overseas (US/Europe/Singapore) but would also expect work opportunities for 3 to 5 years to recover the initial investment.
Please suggest some B-schools as I have no idea even after having gone through FT rankings etc.
With best regards
Saurabh Malhotra

Saurabh-
you are in luck, as the one year MBA is much more popular in Europe than in the Us. IE, IMD, INSEAD, Oxford, G, Cass, Lancaster, etc etc. all have one year MBA programs. Apply to the best schools your profile justifies, so if you kill the GMAT, aim high.
