This is a follow up to Wire Taps 221. I was featured on the Podcast 3 years ago when i was 22. Would love to be featured again if i am allowed to be greedy :). Your insights were really helpful the last time
I have been working as a co-founder and CMO, in a D2C luxury tableware company in India. We have grown from about 20k USD in Sales, when i first joined, to about 1.5 Million USD now.
Being in the luxury industry, i realized we could never have spectacular year on year growth, so i started a clothing brand as a solo founder in August 2024. But we are close to shutting down because of unit economics issues and lack of growth.
The more i read about industry stalwarts, i realized i have been getting basic business fundamentals like market sizing wrong and maybe a MBA would 'polish' me more in these aspects.
I had a question about school selection as i understand my profile is very untraditional in MBA circles. What would be a natural fit in terms of 'school hierachy'. I was thinking:
Reach
Harvard
Wharton
Fit
Kellogg
Columbia
"Safety"
Yale SOM
NYU Stern
Tuck
Does this sound about right? For additional information, i have been seeing quite a few admits in the M7 from my undergrad university. I also have done all 3 levels of the CFA. Great extracurriculars during college.
For recommendations, i was thinking of the CEOs of the suppliers for our products, as they are fairly big companies.
Sorry if this was a big post. Just wanted to provide you with all relevant information and give you updates from last time. Cheers!
