No doubt that your profile is amazing! You bring to the table a very diverse experience.
Do you have any specific questions about your profile that you would like me to address?
In terms of college selection, if you're open to looking at universities abroad, I would also suggest you to look at HEC in Paris (Since you're already looking at INSEAD) and colleges in the US since your aim is to work in the Tech Sector.
Please feel free to reach out to me in case you want to have a detailed chat on University selection, or need any help with the Application process, or just have any questions!

I have two queries:
1) Will my GMAT score of 710 be a concern for INSEAD admissions?
2) Despite collaborating with international entities on technical projects and AMCs, I lack onsite experience. Could this potentially impact my application?
Appreciate your insights.
Best,
Ambar
1. GMAT Score of 710 will be good for INSEAD with your profile
2. Having onsite experience would be an added advantage! But that will surely not have an impact if you can showcase that you have an understanding of working with different cultures
