Thanks for sharing your profile.
Additional degrees, such as your CA can add value by showing your academic capabilities, drive, and how it will help you in your post-MBA career. It could also add another dimension, in terms of what you can contribute to the experiences of your peers.
Your essays and recommendations need to be very strong in presenting your personal story to distinguish you from applicants with similar backgrounds. Working on a start-up shows your entrepreneurial spirit and could also be a source of anecdotes demonstrating leadership, innovation, and the ability to get things done.
Scoring 30-40 points above the average GMAT score at your target school would help your application be more competitive. So do consider retaking.
Wish you all the best!
