What a stellar profile you’ve assembled here. A solid GPA from a prestigious IIT; a jumbo 760 GMAT score and more than five years of work experience at a Fortune 500 company, with leadership responsibility managing a team of 30 staffers and 15 engineer. One ting to consider: Do not use lingo in applying to business schools. Few people know what an “INR 3000 Cr. project” is. Explain these things in layman’s terms. This goes for everyone else who is applying to business school from a technical background. You have to learn to communicate to people who aren’t in your field and/or lack your technical expertise. Tuck is an excellent school and your chances there are very good if you interview well.
