Hey! Your acads and profile seems to be pretty good. While you will have to highlight your leadership roles and key initiatives, the major thing that you will have to focus on is what you want to do post MBA and how MBA will help you achieve those goals. This will be the major deal-breaker for you when you apply to IIMA/B/C.
GMAT FE scores end with 5's, so you will have to reach the 655 level is more like the average GMAT score for ISB, IIMA, and IIMB.
We have 50+ mentors from different global B-Schools (including IIMA) on our platform IvyCrackers and few of them are on admissions interview panel for universities. You can book a complimentary 30-mins call with us and one of the interview panelists will evaluate your profile in detail. In this call, we will delve deep into your profile, help you build an overall strategy for your IIMA application, and answer any questions you have about IIMA.

Hi! I am a former production and operations leader myself. Demonstrate your strong leadership skills through stories in which you helped resolve conflicts, accelerated projects, were trusted with bigger responsibilities repeatedly, motivated team members or shop floor staff to move projects forward in a timely manner, influenced management with your insights to take a particular point of view on decisions, and saved the company money or brought cost efficiencies.
If I can be honest, you must try to increase your GMAT score. I have worked with many candidates from the public sector for ISB and IIMs, so I am happy to pitch in my suggestions. Unfortunately, schools are critical of candidates who have been in the public sector for a very long time and want an MBA as an exit option. There are many challenges with these profiles, such as a habit of working with a top-down approach, lack of experience with analytical thinking, and too much focus on day-to-day functional details without looking at the big picture. In addition to a solid GMAT score, you should bring out a really dynamic personality and a great understanding of how business fundamentals work. You need to show the transferable skills that will help you get closer to your dream job after the MBA.
An FE of 655 is a risky score in my opinion. I will be happy to explain my reasons if you connect with me. Do not let a GMAT score get you down. With Focus Edition, there is also less transparency about how a competitive school perceives respective scores versus what GMAC translates to. Over time, schools will gradually build a new FE database and we will know more, but for now, it's better to play it safe and aim higher.
