You need to work a few more years, regardless of what your post-MBA career goals are. Most Indian IT guys like yourself tend to have around 5-7 years of experience at matriculation, and as hard as it is for them to get into decent MBA programs, they have an advantage over you since their resume is stronger (as they have more experience to draw from).
It is not a now-or-never deal for you at this point. If you feel stuck, going to b-school isn't the answer. If you do feel stuck in your job, you need to find however which way to find a job that you do enjoy and/or will give you opportunities to achieve, learn and grow. Grad school isn't the answer all the time (because you will face this at other times in your career even with an MBA, and you can't just go back to school every time your job situation isn't ideal).
