Thank you for the advice BrazilianPhD and BCB. Yes I did gave my GMAT 5 years back and have score 720 but it is expired. I do have access to managers who can provide data. Definitely this is something that I am planning to put together in my essay along with my industry experience. For teaching experience, I don't have direct teaching experience, but 10 years back I was associated with an NGO for providing some educations for under privileged kids. The topics taught were not too complex hence that is not much of relevant teaching experience. My Marketing professor mentioned that as a teaching experience, you need to demonstrate how you arrange the syllabus on a topic, topics to cover(depending on the audience), engaged classroom experience and finally grading. The way you have to be dynamic in handling audience. My experience just cover small portion on topics coverage and classroom experience. I am targeting my application for year - 2020. I do have interest in Entrepreneurship as well but would need to read some research paper in this areas to get to know more about the research topics.
