Please review my profile...
UG: 2008 batch Architecture graduate from Indian Institute of Technology with CGPA of 6.8/10.0
Additional: LEED Accredited Professional in Green Building Design & Construction
Languages spoken: Hindi, Punjabi, English & French
GMAT: First attempt - 730 (Q50, V39, AWA4.5, IR-Bad!)
Worked in Corporate & Housing Real Estate development in India for 4yrs (May-2008 to Aug-2012). Key achievements:
- Received client's bonus & high ratings in Green Building evaluation systems (US & Indian) as part of project management team in landmark office campus development
- Appointed as Special assistant to COO of Indian conglomerate's real-estate arm. Implemented pan-India MIS & progress reporting systems. Helped in raising $40mn+ project financing
- Contributed to knowledge resources for checking costs & improving products. Selected to manage team of 8 Architects & Draftsmen and run South Indian housing projects development
During my father's illness, I managed my family business - a humble fitness facility. There we added a health foods partner, revived Member activity and secured a Spa franchisee to be launched next year
Since Apr-2013, working on Retail developments for a Nigerian conglomerate, involved in Tenants' coordination & Planning of construction activities for meeting expedient targets of the expansion plans in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Calabar, Enugu and other locations
Significant extra-curriculars are as below:
During college:
Executive Editor - College's Fortnightly Newspaper
Design Head - College's Annual Techno-Management Fest
Captain - Tennis & English Dramatics teams of Boys' Hostel
Post-college:
Avid blogger - 1000+ hits/week graphic blog publisher focussing on innovations in urban slums
Papers Presented 2011/13 on Slum Policies/Entrepreneurship themes at Innovation & Built Environment Academy, London
Hobby/Interest: Lawn Tennis, Astrology
Short Term: Programme Implementation at an NGO/International Fund
Long Term: Senior role at UNDP or UN-HABITAT
Fall-back: Real Estate Investment
As an Architect, with a good corporate, housing & retail portfolio and clientele, I closely follow the lives & vital role of the entrepreneurial urban poor in cities. I believe a Top-MBA with a social inclusion emphasis will equip me well in pursuit of a holistic urban development goal.
Kindly advise me on selecting appropriate programs. Thanks!
