MBA SOP Sample for Business Administration in Canada

"Curiosity is the compass that leads us to our passions". As we move forward with the SOP, you will find out how this quote finds relevance in my life. But before that I would like to mention my interest towards how branding is a crucial part of the business, and how some products or services can be defined by the name of the company. I like to know the story behind these and find it captivating that some business leaders are more impactful than others and change the world around us.

Starting with my school life, I enjoyed playing sports and dealing with numbers. I am inherently curious in nature and growing up in the late 90's and early 00's made me fond of the rapidly expanding technology and novel gadgets, which were no less than alien objects to me at the time. With growing fascination towards technology and a keen interest in maths and science, I decided to pursue engineering and specialize in Electronics and Communication stream. Along with my regular studies, I participated in various workshops outside of the technical domain. As the coordinator of [UNIVERSITY ENTREPRENEURSHIP CELL], the entrepreneurship cell of my university, I organized workshops and seminars, hosting business leaders from different domains to share their journey and help students understand the corporate world better. My continuous participation in such events raised my interest to learn more about the new age start-ups which were making a real impact in the lives of common people.

During my undergrad, I got an opportunity to work as an intern with a start-up named [COMPANY NAME], based in [CITY], the Silicon Valley of India. In this internship I got a short insight into the start-up world, which later led me to draft a few business plans to pursue my own path of entrepreneurship. I came up with a business idea for which I did few industry visits to understand the related technology and built a small team with fellow students. Together we did research analysis on a focus group, built strategies to create and launch the product with a thorough cost-benefit analysis. We performed SWOT analysis for launching our product and made a balanced scorecard. But after two months of gruelling research on the subject, I came to realise that I needed better understanding of running a business and I converted this plan as a long-term career goal. However, this small stint helped me realise my passion towards entrepreneurship; and to prepare myself for that, I decided to get into the corporate world with my focus into Business Strategy, Product Management and Research Analytics.

After my graduation, I joined [COMPANY NAME] as Network Records Associate wherein I was a part of the design and analysis team for the newly laid fibre network. My responsibilities included technical analysis of the case in hand and build strategies to provide a hybrid network solution with the existing copper network of the company in UK region. After working for 18 months with the company, I wanted to explore other business domains to broaden my horizons and get a bigger exposure of working in large diverse teams. Having expertise in FTTX networks, I was offered a job with India's largest IT and Consulting company, [COMPANY NAME] as Senior Process Associate. Initially, in accordance to my experience I was assigned to work for Australian telecom giant [COMPANY NAME], in a techno-functional role of designing FTTX network for the [REGION] region in [CITY], that was completed in record breaking time taking less than a year. After completing this project owing to my good performance and voluntary request, I joined the Financial Services domain to work with the world's largest bank, [COMPANY NAME] as [COMPANY NAME]'s client. I've been working on this project for more than two years now and my role involves Business Analysis, QA engagements and interaction with key stakeholders.

In my professional journey of more than four years now, I have got a good technical exposure in different business verticals and performed various techno-functional roles. I believe now is the time for me to develop managerial and administrative qualities, as well as gain a sound understanding of business concepts which is a crucial requirement to move forward with my long-term plan of being an entrepreneur. I strongly believe that [BUSINESS SCHOOL]'s [PROGRAM NAME] is a carefully-crafted program with courses such as Strategic Management, Business Data Analytics combined with Entrepreneurship as elective is a right fit for me. With international exposure and a constant interaction with diverse peer group, I believe it will provide me the right fuel to achieve my goals.

Having confidence in my abilities and with right attitude, I look forward to learning from one of the best B-schools in Canada that is situated in the world's best ranked student city of [CITY]. Complementing my personality, I am sure I'll cherish the moments I'll spend learning here, both personally and professionally and become more equipped to fulfil my destiny.
