Mr. Indian Banker

About Me:

I come from a typical Indian middle-class family. I grew up thinking that I would go in IITs and then my life will be set. But it didn’t pan out. I joined state university. There I joined my departments’ society “PHOENIX”. Throughout my engineering, I convened many competitions. In my 4th year, I managed my college’s Inter College Tech Festival. After college, got placed in Infosys. After working for 1 year, I didn’t get the satisfaction which I needed from my job, hence I left the same and came in banking industry. Right now I am head of my Branches Forex department (500cr turnover). In my free time, I like to google about any new thing or any unique snippets about the space industry.

If you have a GMAT of 740 and indeed have perfect scores from your university, you may be able to aim a little higher. One thing I might suggest is looking for candidates from your university at the b-schools you are interested in. That will give you a sense of the possibilities. (It can be tough to break into the top top schools outside of the IITs. Not impossible of course. Just tough.) I’d encourage you to widen your portfolio of schools — maybe look at the employment reports to see where FinTech placement is the highest if that is the best way to achieve your goals.
All the best for your applications,
Krista
