Hello AbhinavSrivastav,
Thanks for writing in.
The IIT pedigree, leadership experience, and awards will prove to be advantageous; the career goals also appear to be in sync.
Having said the above, you belong to an over-represented pool of applicants; hence, we strongly recommend that you retake the GMAT.
All the best!

Hello nj23598,
Thanks for writing in.
Your work experience showcases strong leadership and managerial potential and we are assuming that it spans over 5 years. However, you have not shared your career goals so we are not sure how you intend to bring it all together.
The GMAT score is the weak link in your profile; if you are looking to target the top IIMs, you should aim at achieving a significant improvement in your score.
All the best!
