INSEAD looks for the following 4 factors in prospective candidates-
1. Ability to Contribute
2. Academic Capability
3. International Motivation
4. Leadership Potential
Your GMAT score and past academic record along with work experience does not bring out your academic capability and leadership potential.
Please make sure to read the below blog by an INSEAD admit to understand what INSEAD looks for in MBA applicants-

Hello Maxxx17
With 2 years of work ex (which is slightly on the lower end for INSEAD), you will be expected to score slightly higher on the GMAT.
Also considering your Indian background and lower past scores, you will need a higher GMAT score to compensate.
Coming to your work ex, talk more abut your career progress, achievements at work and business impact.
Similarly with your extracurricular activities, showcase your contribution and impact. School/college activities usually do not carry much weight unless yiu have achieved something spectacular.
Lastly coming to your career goals, if you wish to continue on the same path, why do you need an MBA. You should show a compelling need of an MBA and what your specific long term goals are.
You may want to read here to know what factors you will need to work on in your written application and here on building a career goals narrative.
