Male, Indian
Tech engineering
Strong ECs in college and with nonprofits post-college
A good collection of leadership activities at job
GMAT: 730

Since I want to apply to H S W, I am concerned whether GPA will shoot me down at these schools.

UG gpa (IIT, india) : 7.95/10.0
While bschools are known to understand how to interpret international/iit gpa and gpa is not the only factor, it is not known how good they think such a gpa is.
This gpa was in the uppermost quarter of the class and the iits grade on a tough curve.

This gpa good enough?

Hi,

Yes, the business schools will know how to intepret your grades, esp w you coming from IIT. If you want to make sure, on your resume, next to university info - add that you finished in the uppermost quarter.

Are you applying to any other school?

You'll have to make sure you can differentiate yourself with leadership capabilities and strong career vision and passion in the essays.

Good luck!

The GPA is good enough and the schools will most definitely know how to interpret these grades. This doesn't mean though that you can't help them out by EXPLICITLY showing off your academic achievements in your application!!!
