Should I go for an MBA?

I want to move abroad in most likely hood and I was pondering if I should go for an MBA. You'll know my dilemma at the end. Tad bit about me:

Professionally:

3YOE 55 LPA xash SPM in a series C company with 1 promotion every year. Worked at 2 orgs in similar space

Acads

BTech from tier 3 college 9.1 CGPA Interned at an NIT and Ferrari in Italy (onsite) Couple of international scholarships + talks + active coder

Financially

NW > 1cr liquid Side hustle makes >2L PM and increasing MoM

Target school

Stanford GSB Wharton UCB Chicago booth

Now, the dilema is that professionally and financially im doing okay but I'm not sure about how things are in India currently. I don't want my fam to be subject to the life i had(we can debate this later on)

Now, for folks who did MBA or knows someone who did similar stuff, please help me out

No negativity please 🙏🏻

Are you ok to expand the school list? Generally, it is advised to have some safe schools in the list as well.

Honest take - Bit aspirational with that work-ex and current profile. You can work on some social credentials to beef up the profile. A stellar GMAT will solve the first barrier.

Thanks. What is missing in my work ex - is it YOE or type of work?

Talking from my current standpoint, I'd prefer waiting a couple of years instead of lowering school. The reason is that I always wanted to go to ivy type school since my undergrad was not too good.
