Hi NightWalker - Thank you for reaching out. I hope you're doing well, also!
You have a great profile and I think will be a compelling candidate at your target schools (and really have a decent chance at any school, including Harvard). You might also want to consider the Stanford GSB, especially given its Certificate in Public Management and Social Innovation. As I'm sure you know, you are in an over-represented demographic of candidates, which makes it more difficult to differentiate yourself. But your great work experience (and ability to demonstrate leadership and impact), paired with your great community experience (again showing leadership and impact), and your high GMAT score will all serve to differentiate you.
Your goals also seem very specific, which is a plus -- I assume by government work, you mean back in India? I think key to your success will be your essays - explaining the longer term impact you want to have, and how your experience so far, your short term goal, and an MBA specifically from each school will best help you get there. Many people who apply want to move into MBB consulting after graduation. Your public/social sector focus helps differentiate you, but my understanding is that MBB firms require MBA grads to be general consultants for some time before they can specialize. You might also want to research and consider consulting firms that are more specialized in public/social sector work.
Please feel free to sign up for a 30-minute consultation here, especially if you are considering working with a consultant on your journey. In any case, best of luck to you!

Thank you for your valuable insights, StratusSoterios!
And yes, working with the government in a long term means with the Indian government, back home..
I would love to speak at length about your plans on working together and possibly a handshake if everything turns out well.
I’m signing up for the call.
Appreciate your time!!
