Hello
Tanishk1234 thanks for sharing your profile details with us. Hope you are doing well
I like that you have a product development background (non-tech) since this type of role generally brings a lot of exposure in terms of stakeholder management (often international in the automotive domain), production stakeholders, marketing teams, supply chain, R&D, and so on (in my own experience in the automotive sector).
Since in product development you are at the epicenter of all new project initiatives related to the product, it would be impactful to convey in applications, your experience in situations where you were faced with an uphill task of expediting projects, meeting deadlines with limited resources, resolving conflicts between stakeholders, influencing senior management to take suitable decisions, mentoring teams leveraging your subject expertise and so on. Your professional achievements are noteworthy and if presented well, will make a good case to pivot to the most popular industries post-MBA (consulting/strategy, tech, and analytics, general mgt).
Your GMAT is less than impressive for an otherwise very promising profile. How consistently did you perform on the mocks? Do you think you have 20-30 points up your sleeve and can take another shot at GMAT? If you can, your chances of getting an admission would go up drastically especially since you even have LSB and ISB on your list. I am also curious to know why do you have LBS on your list, you may want to evaluate your fit well before you apply.
Feel free to get in touch with me if you want to discuss about your profile in detail.
Warm regards
