Yes, you meet the basic eligibility criteria for the Chevening Scholarship:

- Citizenship: Indian citizens are eligible.
- Work experience: Your four years of experience exceeds the minimum requirement (about two years full-time).
- Academic background: Your four-year BCom degree qualifies you for a UK master's.
- Return to India: You must commit to returning to India for at least two years after your studies.

Selection is highly competitive. Strong applications show leadership experience, clear career goals, and a vision for contributing to India's development. Highlighting leadership roles and how UK study will advance your impact will strengthen your case.

You will also need to meet English language requirements set by your chosen UK university. IELTS with a minimum overall 6.5 (no band below 5.5) is typical, but requirements vary.
