For MIM would suggest targeting the LBS, HEC, INSEAD MIM programs which are really good for early career candidates and will enable you to transition into Management Consulting. You can subsequently do a top MBA after getting some work post your MIM (have been seeing a lot of candidates take this route as well).
With a 720 CBS maybe a stretch. Would suggest you have a relook at your profile and your program selection.

I have edited the profile a bit more. Could you please suggest which programs might be open with this amount of work experience? Also, should I consider retaking the GMAT or should I be focusing more on program selection?
