Yes, absolutely do it. In your profile, you'll definitely need it if you want to make it to leadership. And specifically because the opportunity cost is lower with FMS.

I am assuming you mean FMS Delhi, as FMS or DOMS is a generic name for management department in universities.

Questions - why do you only have 2 YOE at 27?

So your career age is really 24 years, which is consistent with the average age like you mentioned.

If you are getting FMS Delhi, take it with both hands. You'll be 29 2 years hence anyway, might as well have a MBA degree and fat package

Do it if you're salary is less than 18 lacs or you want to change your profile.

No need to do it otherwise.
