Hi everyone,
I graduated in 2019 with a BBA from a reputed college in Mumbai. After that, I returned to my hometown and started my own venture. Over the last few years, I’ve been able to grow it to a profitable stage, handling everything end-to-end — operations, client management, and revenue generation (around 18 LPA).
However, due to unavoidable family circumstances, I won’t be able to continue with the business going forward.
I’m now considering pursuing an MBA and transitioning into a corporate role, but I have a few concerns:
Will my entrepreneurial experience be valued by top MBA colleges during admissions, or will the lack of formal corporate experience be a disadvantage?
During placements, do companies typically consider candidates with only entrepreneurial experience, or is corporate work experience strongly preferred?
For context, my academic scores are:
10th: 85%
12th: 70%
Graduation CGPA: 2.96/4.00
I’d really appreciate honest insights, especially from people who’ve been in similar situations or are currently in MBA programs.
Thanks in advance!
