Hi Charudatta,
Your international work experience looks interesting for sure and should be attractive for ISB or any other Indian b-school as you will bring a unique perspective of one of the world's best- the Japanese manufacturing industry to classroom discussions. i hope you can back this up with some good examples of achievement and impact through your 10-year long career.
Also, it will help in admission to have a more defined career plan. Where do you want to work post MBA? Do those jobs or roles require you to do an MBA? You must answer these questions as they are likely to get asked in the essays and then during the interview, and not having thought through these important questions can land applicants in trouble.
I am not so worried by your GMAT, which stands at 690-700 on the classic version. Although it is on the lower side, but it can still work, especially if your past acads are good. Moreover, your recommender can also point to your quant capability. Overall, make your self attractive to the adcom so that they value what you bring to ISB more than fixating on the GMAT.
Feel free to reach out for a detailed discussion.
