You may want to wait until you've taken the GMAT before starting on the essays for specific schools. Also think about more concrete answers to "Why MBA?," "Why now?" and "What are your short-term and long-term goals?."
Anything below a 720 is going to be below the average GMAT at your target schools this year. Pace your GMAT preparation accordingly. I strongly believe however that you should wait to take the GMAT and then assess your competitiveness at the schools you've identified. GMAT preparation and essay brainstorming don't go together very well.
For what it's worth, your work experience sounds really solid. And the fact you're only going to be 25 at matriculation is also going to be an asset for you.

I agree with Solaris.
Everything in your profile looks pretty solid. The only thing that would concern me is your Indian demographic but since your work experience looks incredible for a 25 year old I'd say that it doesn't really matter at all.
If you hit the 700 mark on the GMAT I think you'll have your choice at any of those schools except H/S which are always tough no matter what your profile.
I also wouldn't work on essays until you take the GMAT. Your mind needs to be totally focused on that test as no matter what your profile/experience if you bomb the test you'll most likely be kept from your top choices.
Good luck!
