Hello folks,
I'm still a bit confused about which programs to apply to for the September 2025 Intake.
A bit about my background.
I come from a traditional business family in India and we have our own business setup (Retail + General Trade Distribution and now starting out D2C via e-commerce) in the consumer appliances category (kitchen). I'll have about 3.5 years of full-time work experience at the time of matriculation (2025 intake), about 2 years of which have been spent in a strategy and business operations (not manufacturing ops) role at a startup with diverse work and project experience during the time there and the remaining would be back in our aforementioned family business, primarily working on expanding our D2C presence and streamlining our marketing (brand and performance) across general trade and modern trade.
I was hoping to get some thoughts and opinions on MBA programs with a focus on strategy, marketing, and business operations, and I mean this in terms of faculty, batch profiles, curriculum, and industry involvement during the program. I assume that recruiters from specific industries are also an indicator of a school or program's focus but I will not likely take a job post-MBA.
I'm hoping to apply to about 4-5 programs idealistically and not a lot, considering this, what programs would you recommend?
Feel free to ask for any additional information if required!
Thanks!

Hi RushabhD,
Your background in family business and your interest in strategy, marketing, and business operations align well with several MBA programs.
Based on your profile, you can consider targeting the top schools in India and M7s in the USA as they offer strong programs in strategy, marketing, and operations, and have a strong focus on developing business leaders.
However, we would recommend researching specific programs within these schools that align with your career goals and interests. The schools above are purely generic in nature -and unsure if they align with your career goals. We would recommend scheduling a free detailed conversation with one of our MBA experts to delve deeper into your profile and develop a tailored school list and application strategy.
We can help you identify the best-fit programs and optimize your chances of admission. Our contact number is +91 7780769732.

In order to suggest schools, we'd need more details on your profile such as your undergrad pedigree, GMAT/ GRE score, career goals, geographic/ financial preferences, among other factors such as these
It'd be highly speculatory to suggest schools based on these initial details.
Broadly though, top B-schools for consulting/ strategy careers are here, top B-schools for marketing careers are here, and top B-schools for tech/ PM careers are here. These could serve as initial lists to deep-dive into.
Feel free to reach out through the links below for a deeper chat.
