Hi Mritunjay,
By batch of 2018 if you mean class entering in 2018 then it is fine as for class entering in 2017 you work ex will be less. Now what you need to do in next 1.5 years is
1) Get a 720+on GMAT. Good GMAT score is very important for applicants with less work ex.
2) Not mandatory but if you can change the company after 2-3 months it would be good to add experience of a core sector company. Basically 2 yrs in musigma and 1 year in another company is always better than 3 yrs in musigma
3) Strengthen extra currics (college level activities wont matter much)
Feel free to contact us for any queries.

Hi Prabhakar,
Your overall candidature is pretty strong. IIT brand, international experience that too in a very diverse industry will are all strong positives. Extra currics are weak ( as you have mentioned) but i dont think you have to worry a lot about that.
Given that your GPA at IIT was average try to get a 710 for sure on GMAT.
You can consider the following
ISB
NUS
Oxford Said
Cambridge Judge
HEC Paris
Feel free to contact us for any queries.

but overall, your academic profile is pretty decent. The M.Tech. also helps, even if it is in a non-business field. Your work is quite differentiated as well - do list out your work responsibilities too for a deeper evaluation. In ECA, the NGO contribution helps, but you will need other planks too to show a well-rounded profile. You are at the relatively lower end of the work-ex spectrum, so aim for 700+, if not 720+. Apart from that, you will need to bring out the strength and differentiation in your profile through your essays. Overall, though, if you can hit that GMAT mark and do justice to your essays, you should be well placed in terms of your ISB application. Focus on the GMAT for now. 
). Recommendations depends on how fast the person you have requested fill in the feedback, though not much time consuming. Assuming you are done with your GMAT by June (or even July), you can meet the R1 deadline.
