Very interesting set of information here. First, the good stuff: high GPA from India, realistic focus on a one-year program, and what appears to be a strong professional record.
Unclear: approximate GMAT you’re expecting, how you will afford to transplant your family for one year, specific goals in your post-MBA role (“going global†is a bit vague, and conflicts with “I’ve got a mortgageâ€) and how you anticipate a one-year MBA, which lacks the internship and relationship-building opportunities of two-year programs, will help you make that transition.
I’d also want to know how consistent your career history has been in terms of industries and companies: how many employers have you had over 7 years, and what has been the trajectory of your career growth thus far? I don’t worry so much about the post-graduate diploma because you probably did a three-year undergraduate degree, and many Indian students do add a one-year Masters program in order to be competitive for US schools, which sometimes require four-year degrees.
Challenges: over 31 is sometimes a tough sell, although at least in the US, one-year programs are more open-minded about this. Stating clear, well-researched goals can help you turn this potential liability into an asset.
Given the complexities of your profile, I think you would benefit from a one-on-one “straight talk†conversation instead of trying to get the information you need solely over the boards. You can reach out for that here: https://www.stacyblackman.com/contact/. You sound like an interesting guy, and I'd love to see you reach your MBA goals.
Good luck!
