The present disclosure relates to a single-pot multi step process for the preparation of a shape controlled pro-catalyst. The process comprises the steps of: i. reacting magnesium metal and at least one alkanol to obtain spheroidal magnesium alkoxide ; ii. treating the spheroidal magnesium alkoxide with at least one transition metal tetrahalide, at least one organic modifier, and optionally, at least one in-organic modifier in the presence of at least one solvent to obtain a reaction mixture; iii. cooling, settling the reaction mixture and decanting the supernatant; iv. adding at least one transition metal tetrahalide, at least one solvent and optionally, at least one organic or inorganic modifier; and v. iterating steps (iii) and (iv) to obtain the shape controlled pro-catalyst.
