Hi, and thanks for writing! Your GPA is fantastic, and it looks like you've had great career progression. I think to maximize your chances at your target schools, you should clarify your goals and ensure that you communicate them in a compelling way in your applications. Do you want to do consulting or general management (for the application, choose one path) and what drives you towards this path?
Admissions is very competitive for Indian applicants (especially those with limited international exposure), so I do recommend taking the GMAT again to see if you can get a 730+. Scholarships at these programs are challenging to secure, so if funding is a key decision factor of yours, then I would look at MBA programs beyond the US Top 20 and the Internationa Top 5-10.
I hope that helps - best of luck!
