anon22190 Likes Earned: 0 Thanks, Alex. I am writing GRE again. In the long run, I would like to come back to India. I want to work in the non-profit consulting space for 3-4 years, ideally for MBBs. After that, I would like to come back to India and join the leadership roles in organizations working in the public health space such as BMGF, Clinton Health Access Initiative, etc. (0)
