HEC Paris MBA Deadlines 2025-2026

I graduated in 2022 from MIT World Peace University (MIT‑WPU), Pune, with a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, achieving a CGPA of 8.6.
From an early age, I was exposed to entrepreneurship through my grandfather’s agricultural business, where I regularly assisted him. This experience sparked my long‑term interest in business, ownership, and value creation.

During my undergraduate years,I co‑founded two start‑ups with college peers—one venture did not succeed, while the other continues to operate successfully, although I am no longer actively involved.
Alongside academics, I served as the Publicity Lead for my college technical fest, where I:

Secured over ₹2 lakhs in sponsorships
Led promotions and crowd management
Coordinated operations for an event hosting approximately 10,000 attendees across 3 days

I am also a national‑level roller skater.

Between 2020–2021, during the COVID‑19 pandemic, I actively engaged in social impact initiatives:

Volunteered for over a year with an NGO, teaching underprivileged children during lockdown
Assisted at COVID‑19 vaccination camps, supporting on‑ground public health efforts

After graduation, I joined NielsenIQ, where I have been working since 2022 as an Incident Manager. In this role, I:

Manage complex, high‑pressure incident calls
Coordinate cross‑functional stakeholders and global teams
Exercise people management and decision‑making responsibilities, but no direct managerial exposure.

I have scored 635 in GMAT FE and 8 band in IELTS

My plan for a future career is to expand my network (for either entrepreneurship or career pivoting to a higher paying job). Google is my dream but I've never been able to break through. My background is mostly in tech/gaming/AI and I've only been at one major Seattle based company for my entire post-undergrad career. I am open to part time at like Berkeley or MIT Sloan, or quitting (laid off if that happens) to pursue this full time. I plan to study for the GMAT and feel confident I can get 700+.

Uncertain of my low undergrad gpa (from premed classes) and professional career being diversified enough for a strong application. Dream is Stanford > Harvard / MIT > Everything else selected > Foster UW
