Hi Santosh,
You profile looks pretty impressive with the international work experience and diverse roles. Is there any specific reason for you to stick to India? yes, ISB and IIMs are good options for you. However you can try out the chances and analyse the schools here: https://goo.gl/RZg44t
This would give you a clear picture of the options available for you.
Hope this helps.

Hi Santosh,
You have some impressive achievements there. You will be good to apply at the b-schools in your list, although the IIMs are sticky about the GMAT score and its likely to be an issue there.
Nothing much you can do in the GMAT compartment, as I do understand and agree with your non-willingness to attempt it a 4th time. Moreover, your previous scores show improvement, which speaks well for you.
My advice to you will be to focus upon the other elements of your candidacy- the accomplishments such as the Company Value award and other achievements where you helped make impact on your company.
One area for concern is that a lot of ISB candidates become product managers after the MBA. You are already one and have the post MBA job responsibilities that these candidates have. So you must find out what positions will open up for you at your level. Reach out to the Career services at ISB as well as to some students.
Also, reach out to us for further discussion.
