sachinarora04 hope you are doing great
Having the ability to grow past your comfort zone is the first sign of a promising MBA candidate. I like how you grew within the scope of one company, tried your hand at entrepreneurship, realized your shortcomings and need for further learning, and moved into a health tech startup to build your knowledge (and profile) further. If you have worked in two diverse industries, show in the application an immersive knowledge about the market dynamics, competition, and value proposition for the customer base. What are the nuances of these industries and how did you have to think on your feet as an engineer/product developer? What did you learn? Don’t miss highlighting "fast learning," team building, and the ability to combine technical prowess with a vision for the company's business. Startup experience is actually a blessing for you since you would rarely work in just one role. You can capture the years of experience you acquired in just one year and the impact you had on the organization—strategic and immediate.
Its never late to get involved in some community work. But please note that last minute NGO engagements rarely have any meaningful impact in the applications. While demonstrating a balanced right brain thinking and a search for meaning beyond the numbers is important, you can also do that by reflecting back on your personal and professional engagements from early on and demonstarting how you empowered your peers or juniors within the scope of your personal/professional activities.
Target a high score on the FE. You do not have a strong undergrad pedigree therefore try to prove your academic potential to the best of your ability.
