Hey Kesav_Bonthu,

You GMAT is good and academics are decent. Plus the Citi Fintech experience will be a positive from an application standpoint. The only aspect of your application which can put you on a backfoot is the software developer role since there isnt a dearth of those in the Indian application pool. Thus, it will be advisable to have a strong focus on your applications and really work towards differentiating it from other applicants through various means such as ECs, stories, research, school fit etc.
Your school selection is broadly on spot although I would swap NYU Stern with a UCLA Anderson / USC Marshall and maybe LBS with Cornell unless you are too keen on a career in the UK.

Hope that helps? Do reach out at info@thembaedge.com in case you have any further queries.
