Hi, and thanks for writing! I like that you've had good international exposure during your professional experience. Your competitiveness will depend in part to your GMAT score, but if you're able to score 730+ (the score that I've seen is necessary for Indian applicants to top schools), Kellogg, Haas, and LBS make sense to target - other schools I'd add include Ross and Fuqua for its strengths in tech. Judge is less competitive, so a safer choice, and you might consider Oxford Said as well.
One thing you'll definitely want to do before applying is to narrow down your career goals. Do you want to do product management immediately post-MBA or would you rather do tech consulting?
Hope that helps a bit!
