@VajjalaVikram - interesting profile. Some thoughts:
1. The undergrad (IIT) pedigree, GPA and BCG/ Meesho exposure are strong angles. Latest (Classic) GMAT averages of top MBA programs are here - aiming for 10-20+ points above the averages of your target programs would be ideal.
2. Your work-ex (assuming 3 years as of today) is a bit on the lower side particularly for M7 programs - these tend to have averages of ~5 years. Latest class profiles at M7's are here FYI. For US Top 10-20, the # of years may not be an issue. Scholarship chances depend on both merit (e.g. GMAT, work-ex quality, ECs, school fitment) and need angles, and how well these are presented in essays.
3. If you're keen on US Top-10, applying next year after building a strong profile can help. Each year, we work with smart candidates (including IITians) to help build their profile for US Top-10. Having said that, there are exceptions to the rule. If the strength of professional arc (key achievements, skillsets gained), extracurriculars, career plan are super strong, you could apply to a mix of US Top-15 MBA programs this year. I'd like to understand these dimensions in-depth to assess accordingly.
4. What are your career goals post MBA i.e. which sector/ function/ geographies are you looking at? This would also help shortlist programs along key parameters such as these
Hope this helps some. Feel free to reach out through the links below for a deeper chat.

HI,
Nice profile. I am wondering which is more recent? Meesho or BCG? Also, do you currently have 3 years of experience or will it be three years next fall? If you graduated in 2022, then it you will have 3 years by next year. That will be low work experience for a top MBA program and you may be better placed if you were to wait a year before applying. There are several ways in which you could build your profile should you apply next year, and utilizing your year ahead to do this can surely land you some great admits.
If you have 3 years Exp as of today and by matriculation it will be 4 years then, then you can consider applying to b-schools this year. That said, we will need to get down to more details about you- what are your achivements like at work? What impactful projects have you worked on? What do you do on the side- as in, what are your extra curricular activities? Have you involved yourself in some community engagements? While you have mentioned ECAs from college, I would also want to see more recent ones.
Your academics are pretty solid, so nothing to worry about on that front.
So, to sum up, directionally you are ok to think about the top 15-17 MBA programs. Its a matter of timing- Is your profile developed enough to apply this year or would next year be more fruitful? Reach out to us for further profile evaluation.
