I'm an architect who has been working in my (mid-sized) family business in real estate development, consulting and contracting for 4 years. My family business consults for 2 big real estate companies, one of which I signed myself. Lot of experience leading people much older than myself; my work is high on impact and I think my empathy-based leadership (work in progress, of course) will hopefully give me some decent essay materials.

Short-term goal: Consulting (to gain external exposure by working in multiple industries/companies and develop problem solving skills for growing my family business someday)
Long-term goal: Expand my family business

For personal reasons, I'm looking at US b-schools only. I will need a summer internship for recruitment so I'm only looking at 2 year programs.

Considering my wealth of experience in senior and middle management positions across the Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Telecommunications sectors, I believe that I can build a thriving career as a management consultant. I’ve driven projects worth 133,720,256 USD that have transformed the rail and road infrastructure in India. As a management consultant, I wish to tackle global projects that involve infrastructure transformation, urban development, logistics, and transportation solutions. I believe an MBA from IVY league college will provide me with the necessary impetus for me to secure this role. Eventually, gaining global exposure through varied consulting projects, I plan to start my firm that collaborates with government/ public sector offerings to improve public infrastructure sustainably.

While my domain expertise is strong due to my hands-on experience across projects, a structured management education is necessary for me to compartmentalize my knowledge and apply it to various use cases my clients present to me. IVY league college’s cutting-edge curriculum which includes subjects such as “Strategic Leadership” and “Strategic Brand Management”, faculty, and exposure will ensure I have the right skill set to secure my desired roles and succeed in my subsequent career.

Worked for 3 years in internal restructuring consulting. Short term: IB, long term: private equity. Not doing too well on the Gmat so I opted for the EA for NYU and Stern and thinking about retaking it for LBS.
