Hi Nishant,

Thanks for sharing your profile. Your profile as of right now is very typical of an Indian male engineer. With this in mind, you should definitely aim for a high GMAT score to help stand out from the crowd. I would try to get a 730+ if possible. I would also encourage you to try to round out your profile by taking on extracurricular and community leadership activities, and by trying to take on more responsibility (project leadership, team leadership, business goals ownership) at work.

I hope this helps,
Mili
