Hi Sasindra,
I understand why you are pondering upon the question about your GMAT score. Short answer: the higher the better. Long answer: 
1. Check the class profile report of your target schools, to get a general idea of average GMAT score of that particular school. You should be on the higher side of the bell curve since you're an Indian applicant. 
2. Admission is based on your work ex, leadership ex, community service, your interview, your video essays and other parts of your application package and not just your GMAT score.

Your profile does seem pretty good and I would love to answer any other specific questions that you may have.

Best,

Thanks for your reply.

Presently I'm targeting Indian B schools as I can't afford to study in foreign schools due to personal concerns.

ISB would be my first preference nevertheless to say it's for every Indian.

ISB does require high GMAT score.
