Hi Shanky,
You have a great professional profile. My suggestion to you: while writing your essays / job details, don't focus upon the engineering aspects of your work. Instead write about taking leadership, launching products, being part of strategy. You will have to spend some more time on your career goals. There has to be clarity on what you wish to do- product management or strategy. While interviewing, vagueness in goals is not acceptable, so work on your story right now.
Feel free to reach out for a discussion
And, a 40 point push to GMAT would be great. all the best.
