Hi there,
Looking at your brief profile, I like to think that to be really competitive for INSEAD, you will need to have a highly impressive work experience including leadership and the impact on your organisation. If you feel that might not be the case, I believe you might benefit from an additional 1-2 years of work experience wherein you can demonstrate the qualities that B-schools look for in prospective students.
A score of around 700 is a respectable one, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. We have seen (and helped) students gain admission to INSEAD with scores of 730, 740 as well as 640, 690.
If you can email me at mail@vibranture.com, I can give you more specific guidance about your profile.
Good luck!

For the most part, your profile is good. The only issue I see is that you only have 2 years of working experience and do not mention anything about leadership roles during those years. So if it is not vital for you to apply right now, that is what you should focus on before applying.
That being said, I do see some interesting things in the profile you presented so it might be possible to increase your chances of admission by really working hard on your application, presenting an interesting story, explaining your motives and illustrating all the things you have already achieved. This is often really hard to do on your own, however, so you might want to consider professional help with pinpointing issues to focus on in the application.
Should you want to know more about what admission consultants can do for you and what differentiates ARINGO (aringo.com) from other similar companies, you are more than welcome to contact me.
Good luck!
