Hi there,
Thanks for posting. It sounds as though you have a solid, if somewhat over-represented profile. You will want to do all that you can to showcase what makes you unique among other Indian IT applicants. Think about your personal side, and about non-technical skills, strengths and character traits that you can highlight. Be sure to think about evidence of teamwork, leadership, and communication skills.
In terms of one-year MBA programs, they are less common in the US than in say Europe. Within the US, you could look into Goizueta, Mendoza, BU, Olin, Thunderbird, Katz, Hough (FL). Johnson, Kellogg & probably Marshall would likely be reach programs, but you could choose 1 to apply to just to give it a shot if you were focused on those. In Europe there are many more options. You asked about schools like HBS & Stanford-- they do not have one-year programs, and currently based on the info you provided it would be difficult for you to gain entry to those programs given the caliber & volume of applicants that apply. But you would likely have a shot at some of the one-year options listed above. Good luck and keep us posted!
