Hey Bhavz10,
You have an excellent profile. You are also in a sweet spot regarding age and gender for admit to premier B-schools in India and abroad.
If you are considering the 1-year MBA programs in India from IIMA / IIMB / ISB and others, a GMAT of 700 is quite decent. The links below would give you an idea of the profile of previous batches at these institutions.

https://www.isb.edu/pgp/peer-group/class-profileI would suggest you apply to Indian MBA institutions with your score of 700. The GMAT merely serves as a qualifying criteria, and a 20 points increase won't change your chances dramatically. If you present a strong profile to the admissions committee, you have a pretty good chance of making it.
Also, as your experience is on the lower end and you have prior experience in consulting, you have a good shot at strategy consulting post MBA.
Do get in touch with us if you need further guidance on the admissions process.
Cheers!
