Hey dude,
Well what I like about your profile first and foremost is that it is INTERESTING. You have depth and breadth and seem to be very passionate about a number of things. Not only that, you have been ACTIVE, and even taken a lead in many of your activities.
That plus a 760, well... should give you a shot almost anywhere.
Now will it be a big shot at a school like HBS? Being a non IITer from Indian with a so-so GMAT, it will always be a long shot, but one I believe you could and should take.
To answer your later question, I don't think that working one more year will do much to improve your profile, and that you should just take your shot this year. If you want to apply to Top 5 schools (which will be tough, even with your 760 and great story) my strategic suggestion would be that you apply to MORE schools (basically add schools to your list) which will be the best way to increase your chances, while also allowing you to apply at higher ranked schools.
I hope this helps!
