Hi Kushal,
Thanks for sharing your profile. It sounds like you have a variety of achievements and areas of recognition in your current role and in extra-curricular activities and interests. However if I am understanding correctly, you have only 18 months of work experience? That will put you below-average at most programs which could be a potential weakness, as business schools like to fill their classes with those who bring a bit more depth and breadth of experiences to their in-class discussions. You also have a very technical background and are part of a large group of applicants (technical profile from India) so it will be a challenge to stand out from that crowd and also to demonstrate that you have more than just technical expertise.
Without a GMAT score it also makes it difficult to point you in the right direction of tier of schools to apply to, except to say that given your profile info so far, it will be difficult to have a chance at the more competitive programs and the ones on your list without an outstanding score.
Finally, you will need to further develop your career goals and explanation for why you want the MBA, when you are competing against other qualified applicants who have nailed that down more convincingly.
Hope that helps, be sure to focus on a great GMAT score!
