Hi! That's a pretty good profile, however FAANG and tech profiles are common at ISB. A lot will depend on your GMAT, post ISB goals, and how well you are able to articulate those in your essays as well as interviews. ISB has been emphaszing a lot on personal stories these days and hence essays/interviews become all the more important.
Your acads are pretty good and a solid GMAT score (675+) will make your profile standout. Your overall work experience also falls in the average work experience of ISB cohort.
While on the outset your profile looks good, you can connect with a mentor from tech domain and someone who has had similar career transition that you are aiming for (using IvyCrackers). A few of our mentors are on ISB's admissions interview panel and you can book a 30-mins complimentary profile evaluation call. In this call, we will delve deep into your profile, discuss on GMAT prep, and help you build a strategy for your ISB application.

Hey hrishi84
I hope you are doing well. Your profile for ISB is shaping up to be very strong!
A slight upward trend in your GPA throughout your education is a positive sign, especially considering your engineering background from a Tier 1.5 college. The international research paper publication on Blockchain is impressive and demonstrates your research skills. Hackathon wins showcase your problem-solving abilities.
Coming to your work experience, your experience as an SDE at FAANG for 4 years, followed by your current role as a Senior Engineer at PhonePe, is fantastic. Multiple high-impact projects, recognitions, and awards highlight your technical expertise and achievements. Hackathon wins further showcase your problem-solving prowess.
Having a YouTube channel with 3k subscribers focused on breaking into the tech industry, even if not currently active, demonstrates initiative and potential for leadership. Publishing a book with over 1000 sales and 3000+ free copies distributed shows impressive entrepreneurial spirit. Mentoring over 500 students and specifically underprivileged students showcases your dedication to social responsibility and leadership. Heading a Techno-Managerial Fest in undergrad with a team of over 500 people and managing significant finances is a great example of your leadership and organizational skills. The media attention garnered by the event is a cherry on top!
Overall, your profile is very well-rounded with a strong focus on technology, a dash of entrepreneurship, and a commitment to social responsibility.
