Hello Everyone! :)

I'm from India and I've Pharmacy background both in my undergrad (B Pharm) and PG (Pharmaceutical Management). I prefer not to change my Industry (Pharmaceuticals) after MBA, though, I want to shift to developed markets (U.S & Europe- Pharmaceuticals Giants hub). Currently, my function is in Business Development and I want to continue into it after MBA- Business Development / Strategy. My priority is 1 year MBA ( 10 or 15 or 16 months MBA whichever I get into).

BS's I'm planning to apply: INSEAD, HEC Paris, LBS, IE, Johnson (Cornell), Kellogg :oops:

So friends, am I leaving any good BS w.r.t the function I want to get into ( General management) not Consulting? If anyone could suggest me other BS I should try for based on background I discussed above, it will be very helpful. :wink:

Thanks in advance! :-D :-D


Hi Naman,
My understanding is that moving into a biz development role in the US will require an internship.


Hello! Thanks for your comment, surely it will help me to segregate BS's :-D :-D

Columbia's J-Term is not a 1yr MBA program but is about 18months so if you're open to something a bit longer but still less than a 2yr


Hi.....Thanks for your comment. I will surely take Columbia into account now :-D
