You will be competing in a large demographic pool, and many candidates will have far stronger scores, both UG and GRE/GMAT. Your 319 does not lend you strength. Consider targeting an improvement by at least 8-10 points. There isn't much else in your post to understand your achievements at/outside work or your motivations for an MBA and consulting thereafter. Preparations for the UPSC exam have no relevance to international MBA applications. The way you've put your interest in travel and photography can come across as bland.
Your 100-day countdown to R1 deadlines is now on, and you should not miss this. Without a final score in hand, any shortlist of schools is a hazard. Besides, school selection is as much a science as an art.
