Hardik,

Many people do an MBA after doing a masters course ("double MBA" for the Indian soul). Or an MBA after CFA/ CA or after a Project management certification/ other profesiional courses. Therefore this is not an unheard of path.

What is important is:

1. that you reason in your MBA application on why you need an additional MBA degree. This should be related to yoru career goals.

2. What extra skills, knowledge and career boost are you expecting after the MBA and how this will be a vital supplement to the learning from the earlier Masters' course.

However, I do not advice applying for an MBA on the heels of obtaining a masters degree. Ideally you should have worked for a couple of years, put your marketing theory into practice and then apply for MBA, when you are ready to learn more. This is applicable more in the case of the top global programs that you would be targeting.
