Through my past experiences at the internships and corporates, I have observed to a large extent that businesses need to constantly adapt to the ever-changing dynamics of the market environment. One cannot simply rely on the data accumulated within the business premises to take critical decisions. It was during my stint at various corporations that I got the chance to interact closely with professionals who used their extensive industry experience and rich intellect to provide valuable insights and opinions to the various facets of the businesses. This exposure piqued my interest in expanding my business knowledge and skills so that I too can venture into the role of a professional consultant. I aspire to become one of the next-gen business consultants in India and hence, I am writing this statement of purpose to gain a holistic understanding of the entrepreneurial business environment by enrolling into the experiential program of Master of Business Management at the renowned Concordia University.
Post completing Computer Science Engineering from Gandhi Institute of Technology and Management in 2019, I joined Tata Consultancy Services as a SQL Developer. Over a period of two years, I monitored and optimised the databases and successfully achieved 97% stability, reliability and performance. My next move, in January 2021, was at MaveX where I got the opportunity as their Business Development Manager. Despite a brief tenure of seven months, I demonstrated remarkable performance in my assigned KRAs, which involved maintaining a Salesforce for the sales team and managing the entire automation system. In July 2021, I started working as Transaction Risk Analyst at Amazon, Hyderabad. In my one-year tenure, I have gained substantial experience in conducting requirement workshops, capturing user story maps, and facilitation for backlog planning and grooming.
It is essentially requisite for me to learn business-related disciplines at a degree level that certainly inspires me to take up a master’s degree in Business Administration from the Concordia University, which in my viewpoint has the most formidable reputation in the disciplines of my choice. In addition to that, my further research revealed that the university boasts triple accreditation and foster experiential learning that is why I chose to pursue my master’s degree from your globally-acclaimed university. I have chosen Concordia University because it is one of the most prestigious and leading educational institutions. The outstanding research facilities, esteemed faculty and the university’s program curriculum ensure the academic rigour, real-life relevance of the course content, and an ideal place for higher education.
On top of that, being an international MBA student at your institution will add precious experience to meeting like-minded people from different parts of the world and develop partnerships beyond the classroom. Certainly, it will help me to learn about different cultures, languages and expand my network across borders which will create an opportunity to explore myself globally and understand the reality of different international markets. This MBA program will be a significant step towards the realisation of my vocational objectives. At a genetic level, this program will further my instincts and evolve my skills towards cognizing market gaps, refining business, and product ideas and devising robust implantation plans for businesses, while the curriculum that includes (mention the subjects as per your preference) will aid me to improve my cognizance in the field of entrepreneurship.
Henceforth, having zeal and passion for pursuing a master’s overseas, I chose to study this program in Canada. I opted for Canada for higher studies due to the high standard and quality of education and internationally recognized degrees. Further, the nation is renowned for its research-oriented universities, and it not only provides quality education but education that is affordable to international students. I firmly believe that the education system’s learning environment is second to none and that this is the right platform for shaping my personality and actualizing my vocational objectives. The country also includes immigration opportunities. Furthermore, the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PWPP) allows students to stay and work in Canada for up to three years after completing their graduation.
Whether it was interacting with my fellow students, teachers, or colleagues, I have conversed in English all throughout my schooling, internship, and work experience. This has helped me gain substantial confidence in public speaking and presentations. This year, I took the GMAT exam and scored an impressive 50 out of 51. In addition to this, I also obtained an overall band score of 7.0 in IELTS and thus, can assure you that I will not face any issues while engaging with people at your institution.
My enthusiasm for the domain, especially in areas such as business management, entrepreneurship, and administration, and my past work experience will help me study for a Master’s with a better understanding and lead to a promising career as a Business Consultant. Eventually, after my Master’s, I would like to work in one of the renowned companies and get a dignified white-collar job in a managerial position.
Having decided to pursue a career in business and management, I thoroughly understand the kind of commitment, perseverance, and determination that a post-graduate program calls for. I sincerely believe that I have the ability and dedication to successfully pursue higher studies while contributing to the student community at Concordia University. I hope to gain admission to the university and gain new knowledge from learned faculty members. I am looking forward to getting a positive response from your university. Thank you for considering my candidature as a prospective graduate student.
