Hey dude!
Very good to hear from you.
So from what I can see here, you have a quite good profile - a strong GMAT, lots of experience... even more importantly lots of LEADERSHIP experience, very good grades, and good international experience in the US.
Your major obstacle is your profile - Indian/Male/Tech. We really need to dig into your profile to find out how we can make it stand out from the rest - how we can make it unique and interesting and appealing.
Do that, and I think your range should be good in approximate Top 20 schools. (although Top 5 will be very tough).
I hope this helps!
