Applying: Columbia Business School, Cornell / Johnson, Dartmouth / Tuck, Duke / Fuqua, Indian School of Business, INSEAD, London Business School, Michigan / Ross, MIT Sloan, Northwestern / Kellogg, NYU Stern, Penn / Wharton, Yale SOM
Intake Year: 2027
Pre-MBA Career: Consulting
Post MBA Career: Consulting
GPA: 8.65
Years of Work Experience: 2
Location: India
Post MBA Location: Wherever I pursue my MBA
Notes:

Currently working in consulting with a major FMCG/alcobev client, mainly across analytics, supply, and business problem-solving work. Over time, I’ve realized I enjoy understanding why problems exist within organizations and how teams, systems, and decisions can work better together, which is what’s pushing me towards strategy consulting and an MBA.

A lot of my interest in business also comes from seeing how everyday products and operations work behind the scenes. Outside work, I co-founded and ran a digital literacy initiative (1yr 2mo) during COVID where we helped elderly individuals and women from underserved communities learn basic digital tools to stay connected and manage daily activities during lockdown.

I’m currently preparing for the GMAT and exploring schools such as LBS, Fuqua, Ross, Tuck, and a few reach schools depending on how the score progresses.
