Profile: 32 years, Male, Indian, Chartered Accountant (2014), Company Secretary (2015), CFA (US) Level 2 (2019), B.Comm. (Open) - Delhi University, MBA (Distance Learning) - Symbiosis Pune
GMAT: 690(Q50/V32). Planning to re-take.
Professional background (in chronological order):
1. 2 years ~ Goldman Sachs, Bangalore, India in Finance
2. 3 years ~ Pricewaterhouse Coopers, Gurgaon, India in the Deal Advisory
3. 1 year ~ Boutique Investment Banking firm
4. 2 years ~ COO at legal fintech (co-founded with the founder, raised three rounds, scaled it to a 60-member team, sector leader)
5. 6 months ~ CEO & Co-founder at cross-border fintech (bootstrapped, had to shut it down last month because of an RBI regulation)
In addition, I also did a venture in the food industry at the age of 22. Exited it after running for 2 years.
Total Work experience: ~8.5 years
Extra- Curricular
- Winner of national elocution competition and law quiz while pursuing CS
- Winner of various competitions at Goldman Sachs and PwC
MBA Plan
- MBA from one of the top 20 universities globally
- Preference for 1 year MBA given my age
- US, UK or EU
Why MBA?
- I had two stints in entrepreneurship and in the areas in which I wanted to create an impact. A comprehensive MBA will broaden my perspective on approaching problems.
Plan post-MBA: Want to work on the fund side for a few years (venture capital, hedge fund, restructuring, private equity). Eventually starting something of my own.
Questions:
1. Should I focus on improving my GMAT score at the moment or apply to the first round of January intake at INSEAD, HEC, and IMD?
2. How different is a January intake program from a regular Aug intake? Specifically the ROI?
3. Chances at INSEAD, HEC, Said Oxford, LBS, Judge, and IMD with a 690?
4. I also heard that Kellogg runs a 1 year program and CBS J-term. Worth applying and chances?
5. In addition, what is the value of a MIM or Masters in Finance from Booth or MIT, given my age.
