Hello there good sir,
Well you certainly have a lovely GMAT, and very excellent grades as well, so that is looking mighty good for you. I also think that for your profile, your school list is pretty reasonable.
There are of course some challenges, and you are probably as aware of them as I am - First your applicant pool - Indian/Male/IT/Non-IIT... I won't lie to you it can be tough.
The second main challenge is for you to break the mold.. I mean, the school will want to see MORE than just a software developer. It doesn't mean necessarily that you have to already have everything, but at least that you can show them the POTENTIAL to break this mold...
I think that you can continue to apply this year, buuuut since your applicants have so far failed, you miiiiiight want to get someone to look at them and tell you WHY... I'd suggest you have a look here:
