Hi @shashank933, happy to give you some thoughts about your profile below!
Gender: Male
Age : 32 Years (By the time of application ie Sep 2021)

GMAT score: 750 (Q50 V41) Excellent GMAT-- is your undergrad first class? It helps if it is-- but the strong GMAT score may help diminish importance of undergrad GPA

One way to make transition easier to finance could be to consider working in a finance role in tech-- a place where many internationals find success. You could look at some of the financial leadership rotational programs or corp finance roles in tech
Target schools
Needs advice in this : Which schools should I target in US, Canada & India for early rounds. It helps to look at programs with strong experiential learning-- a few that come to mind for you-- Ross, Anderson and also I like Kellogg and Booth for you as well. If
I don't think it will make much difference between 750 or 760. I think you should spend your time looking for R1 advantages as well-- for example if you submit Tuck by early Aug you are guaranteed an interview. Darden and Fuqua and CBS are also schools you could look at.
Given my profile, is my assessment of stretch, target and safety schools accurate? Also, should I retake the GMAT to try reach 760? Will that make a difference to my admission/scholarship? Thanks in advance.
