Hi shaktitinku, hope you are well. Yes, I advise a GMAT retake, it will only help, since you are in a highly competitive cohort (even if your particular role right now is less common). You generally want to shoot for a performance that is 20-40 points over the schools' published averages when you are in a highly competitive category. That means a 740 or so for schools like Darden, Duke. Wishing you good luck!
Your GPA looks good, but schools do tend to prefer "pipeline" schools sometimes and I'm not sure how a top 75 will fare. IIT Madras will be a positive, but undergrad would have helped more of course. Still, nice school performance.
Your work experience is a little underdescribed here, but schools will be looking for your leadership and impact. It's good you were promoted; hopefully you can show how and why and your recommenders can vouch for how you outperformed your peers. If you personally have some experience abroad in these international locations, don't forget to describe it, it's a plus!
Finally, if your list of schools ends up being long, I advise you to try to still take the time to get to know the schools and what makes them special, and use the essays to show your fit.
Good luck!
Warmly,
Julie-Anne
