If you're interested in applying to a good range of schools, here's what I suggest:

Stretch -- Haas, Duke
Sweet spot -- Tepper, Texas, Georgetown, UNC, USC

If you do apply to schools such as HBS, Wharton or Kellogg, just know that you're going to be a long shot. It's not that there's anything wrong with you. It's that you're up against enough candidates with resumes/backgrounds that the adcoms prefer. You're an apple (Indian IT guy) and they want oranges (Indian who isn't in IT and if they are in engineering, they have lived in the US or Europe for a few years prior to applying to b-school).
