Hi there!
Good news - I see a lot of strengths in your profile! Academically, you are very strong - good GPA from IIT, great GMAT, plus the certifications too. No concerns there at all. Professionally, I think you're very strong too and I like that you have international experience. It's hard for me to tell how much leadership / project management experience you have at work, but it sounds like you have great relationship building and interpersonal skills to be successful in that type of role. Plus you've got all the quant & analytical skills too.
It sounds like you have enough going outside of work too, with the foundation and the debate club (is that a current commitment or something from college?).
The schools you're looking to target make sense given all these strengths. Wharton will likely be toughest, with Columbia / Booth / LBS just slightly below that. I'd add in a safer option too, only because you're an Indian Male applicant and it's just super competitive for your demographic. You could hold off on the safer school applications until Round 2. Perhaps Yale or Cornell given your finance interests. Or maybe UT McCombs? They have the largest student run investment fund which might be good for you to look into.
Good luck with the process and let us know if we can help!
