Can you make it a top-tier MBA like London Business School with a 324 GRE and four years of work experience?
Nikhita's journey from the warehouse floors of Flipkart to the halls of LBS proves that, when you lead with an authentic narrative, the answer is yes!
A Production and Industrial Engineering graduate from Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Nikhita began her career at Flipkart managing warehouses before moving to a central role overseeing pan-India operations across 31 warehouses.
She had a deep passion for supply chain, rapid promotions, and leadership outside work, as a dancer and dance club head since 12th grade.
Eager to pivot from a specialized supply chain focus to a more holistic business role, she saw an MBA as the essential next step.
But her application journey was tested by several major hurdles.
She spent her nights preparing for the GRE in a hospital room while supporting her father through heart surgery, later juggling the MBA application process alongside the 24/7 demands of Flipkart’s biggest annual sale season.
Yet, she proved that success is about so much more than just numbers: it’s really a test of your clarity, your grit, and how you show up when things get tough.
From treating all 18+ application questions as vital ‘micro-essays’ to navigating a marathon 2-hour alum interview, she realized that when you lead with your authentic story, even the most prestigious doors like LBS begin to open.
