 My short-term goal is to join a top-tier management consulting firm and help organizations make

prudent business decisions. My career aspiration can only be achieved through theoretical and
practical management education. I will leverage my experience across industries and skills acquired
at the ISB to design effective solutions to the client’s business challenges.
 Substantial management consulting experience will help me realize my long-term career vision that
is inspired by Dr Santrupt Mishra, Global Director HR, and CEO (Aditya Birla Group). In the long
term, I envision leading a large organization, re-shape its business, and driving competitiveness
through innovation, high performance, and talent development.
 ISB’s PGP program perfectly matches my career aspirations. ISB’s case-based learning method,
faculty from top global business schools, core curriculum, and electives such as ELP will equip me
to analyze real-life business situations and design effective solutions. ISB’s research-focused
curriculum, with contemporary cases, will set me up for success in an ever-changing business
environment. Consulting clubs’ resources such as case competitions, mock interviews, and
internship preparation workshops will be invaluable. With my business acumen and personal brand
enhanced through a rigorous one year of learning networking at ISB, I will successfully make the
next step down my career path.
 
My short-term goal is to become a product manager for a high-tech
consumer electronics company such as Apple. The job training and industry
exposure I will receive as a product manager and the LGO/Sloan experience
will prepare me to achieve my long-term goal of becoming a CEO of a
major electronics manufacturer. I want to lead the global integration of
operation, manufacturing, marketing, and engineering, focusing on new
product development with an emphasis on innovation.
 
 
 
However I was perplexed that many resource-rich countries, like Uzbekistan
and Tunisia, are mostly left out of the chemicals trade. For the most part,
multinational chemical companies have been unsuccessful in negotiating
agreements with local oil companies in certain areas. My career goal is to
lead a multinational chemical producer, like Dow Chemical, as CEO to make
the deals that will bring these countries into the game.
To reach my objective, I will first join the strategy practice of a leading
management-consulting firm like McKinsey or BCG. Specializing in
chemicals, I will learn industry best practices. I will later join a multinational
chemical producer, like Dow Chemical, and lead their business development
group. Drawing from my consulting experience, I will complete my
professional goal by leading the company into partnerships with producers in
untapped regions of the world.
Obtaining an MBA from INSEAD is pivotal to achieving my career goals.
Through courses like Mergers & Acquisitions, Alliances and Corporate
Strategy, I hope to gain an understanding of what makes corporate
partnerships successful, especially between multinationals and local
companies in emerging markets.
The chemicals trade is a global industry involving players from every corner
of the earth. The unrivalled diversity of INSEAD’S student body and staff is
perfect for me to build my multinational management profile. Through the
INSEAD student groups, I hope to deepen my understanding of business
and management by learning from my peers’ careers in diverse countries
and industries. Furthermore, having lived extensively in North America and
in Western Europe, I hope to take advantage of the exchange programs at
INSEAD to develop my understanding of the developing Asian markets.
