ykaiim,
1. How my profile looks for an MBA from the top 10-20 B-schools?
Given your profile, age, and GMAT you are not competitive for top 10 schools, but there may be some schools in the 10 thru 20 slots where you have a chance.
2. Do lack of good ECs reflect bad on my profile?
Yes, ECs show well-roundedness and also ideally will show leadership. They're important.
3. What, in your opinion, is my strengths and weakness reflected in my profile?
Age, GMAT score, very common applicant pool, no ECs. Your leadership and international exposure seem solid, and your family business's industry helps you stand out a little.
4. I have changed my career from IT sector to retail sector. Is it negative?
Not if you can explain why you did it, and perhaps show that it was part of plan. If you intend to stay in retail that would help.
5. In my IT exp, I didnt have direct leadership role . So, it is negative on my profile?
Direct is better than indirect, but indirect/informal is better than none at all.
6. Please mention what should I do to make my case stronger for final call.
See my comments above on your weaknesses. You need to address those.
7. Please list the best schools for Entrepreneurship, Strategy & Business mgt, Marketing.
Entrep: USC, Babason, Michigan, Stanford, MIT among others
Strategy: HBS, Michigan, Tuck, INSEAD among others
Marketing: Kellogg, Duke, Wharton, Michigan, among others
