I am Karthik Sridharan from India and planning to do a full-time MBA.
My brief background is as follows:
· 12 years work experience in Financial Services and IT, latter being the current one I am working in.
· Executive Program in Business Management from IIM Calcutta, 2012 – 2013, with 3.6 GPA out of 4.0.
(This is a Pre-MBA certification that is more of a bridge between my Bachelors and MBA Degree. This had really helped me in improving my scores that I had not been able to do in my Bachelors since I was concentrating more on the Masters Diploma in IT that I was doing in parallel with my Bachelors)
· Bachelor of Commerce, passed out in 2000 with 2nd class (52%) or 2.7/2.8 GPA on a scale of 4.0.
· 3 years Masters Diploma in IT with 4.0 GPA out of 4.0.
Please advise if this background would suffice for a Full-Time MBA Program.Also, will my Bachelors GPA be a hindrance to my admissions to the FT program and if so, do I need to do another Bachelors to get an acceptable GPA or will my strong work experience compensate for it.
Thanks....Karthik

Working under this team, I proposed the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) which shall mitigate the re-work done in few teams in the organization. Upon review it was implemented in the organization. I inked down the proposed SDLC and got it converted in form of a research paper, published in a prestigious journal.

I would love to get your perspective on where I stand.
-27 y/o Indian Male (will turn 28 in may)
-GMAT 710 (49Q, 39V)
-Graduated in 2008 from a business school in UK with a degree in accounting and finance. Topped my degree in year one. Ended up with an upper 2.1 degree.
-planned on working in UK itself in order to get some international work ex but had to move back to India because of my fathers death (3 weeks after final term). Had to take care of family affairs, both financial and emotional, so moved back.
-Over 6.5 years of experience working in the business development and strategy implementation division of a firm with interests across hydropower, textiles and education and annual revenues of over $100m. Have worked across all 3 sectors. Currently leading a team in implementing the expansion/diversification of the education vertical. The project is at an advanced stage of implementation and the financial rewards from the project have already started flowing in. The idea for diversification was my brainchild and thus I was made the team leader of the project. The financial rewards from this project have already started flowing in. I'm also the youngest at the firm at a senior managerial role. I've held leadership roles across all the 3 verticals.
-short term goal is to make a transition to a top tier management consulting firm and work in new geographies (outside of India). Long term goal is to take up a senior management role at a fortune 500 firm. In my current role I'm coming up with and executing ideas that lead to improvement in business process and create value for the firm. I think a career in consulting will be a reasonable sell as my STG.
-Extra curricular: work with one of the most prominent environmental NGO in the country. Have been closely associated with environmental research over the last 4 years. Having lost my father to blood cancer I started a cancer foundation in his name and have raised over INR 1.5m which in turn was used to help underprivileged patients in their treatment. Also organize an annual blood donation camp. Also redrafted and implemented the corporate social responsibility charter at the firm with a focus on sanitation for the poor and improving female financial literacy. I've also worked for a member of parliament from 2009-2013 on devising a plan for development in the members parliamentary constituency.
I would appreciate if you could evaluate my profile at the following schools.
-Target schools- INSEAD, Columbia, Kellogg, Tuck, Duke, Darden, Emory, McCombs, etc
Feel free to suggest other business schools.
Thanks for taking time out and helping people out here. Really appreciate it.
