First of all thank you for taking time to look into my profile. I will want to apply for the MBA programs commencing in Fall 2013. Below is my detailed profile:
Nationality: Indian
Acads:
-B.E. (Electronics &Communication) with 82.1% from Anna University
-GMAT: 700 (QA: 50, VA:34, AWA:5)
Work Experience:
-Working as Test Engineer in Infosys Limited since Oct'09
-Within 6 months into production, I was sent to Melbourne, along with few experienced colleagues, to work with the new Client to build rapport & trust and to secure long-term business commitment. Worked there for 8 months. Was given an opportunity to lead a team of 4. Had impressed Client with the leadership and technical work. Awarded Best Performance for the Quarter, by the client.
Worked with multi-cultured people. Was influential in decision-making on various aspects of the applications when working with the Business and Development
- At Offshore(India), lead a team of 8. Completed the testing of application under time and resource constraints. Bagged an internal award for Best Performance in the Quarter. On the company's role, I'm not a Team Lead as the promotions are policy driven and not performance driven.
Extra-Curricular:
- Lead Organizer of the Cultural and Technical fest. Was involved in Planning, Strategizing, Procurement, Resource allocation and Overall event management.
-Had organized the Industrial Visits for the Department in different semesters
-Had taken the initiative to work with Counseling Cell to support the fellow students in need of support
-Was part of the Blood Donation drive in the college and at Infosys
-Served as an Administrator of various clubs in Infosys (such as SLR Photography Club, Lenz Club) out of my interest in photography
-Played a active role in Sneham, a social welfare club at Infosys that supports underprivileged children around Chennai, India
-Out of my passion to travel and explore new places, I had planned and organized tours across Australia for self and fellow colleagues.
- I actively trade in Stock Markets, offer valuable suggestions to my peers, analyze the markets on a daily basis. I have made losses in intra-day trading and deliveries after which I spent time understanding the basic market fundamentals, the importance of right stock selection to maximize returns and identify the right time to make a buy/sell.
Why MBA?
Career and industry shift. I want to study marketing and work in manufacturing/consumer goods/pharmaceuticals industry with a long term goal of being an entrepreneur and cater to the industrial customers and individual consumers in an arbor scent approach. My strength is in analyzing people, their psychology and getting them convinced of my thoughts and ideas, which I feel is vital in Marketing apart from market analysis.
Schools short-listed based on my Research:
1. University of Chicago: Booth
2. University of California at Berkley: Haas
3. Duke University: Fuqua
4. Northwestern University: Kellogg
5. NYU: Stern
6. Dartmouth College: Tuck
7. Cornell University: Johnson
8. University of Michigan: Ross
9. UCLA: Anderson
10. Carnegie Mellon: Tepper
I look forward to valuable suggestions/advice with reference to my profile, the school selection and my profile's sufficiency to the MBA programs.
Cheers,
kc

), and not coming from IIT... but everything else is really good so they aren't "black marks" against you, you are just gonna have to try harder. What does that mean: 1. Clever, logical and ambitious goals (and unique where possible) 2. A Unique presentation of yourself through your application, recommendations, essays, etc.
