Thanks for reaching out!
Excellent GMAT, and grad GPA too, those should help outweigh the lower undergrad GPA. The HBX Core program is a great way to show preparedness academically for the MBA.
It sounds like you've had some high impact projects and worked with some important organizations. The nature of work being more technical / engineering focused though, will not help much to differentiate your profile from other applicants from India. Highlight the international exposure you've had and customer interactions to show a well-rounded set of skills. Make sure you can draw a connection between your consulting goals and work you've done in the past, perhaps targeting more operational / technical consulting roles initially post MBA.
You do seem to have a lot of activities outside of work and classes, though I'm not sure if those are current. And some of them seem more individual focused (like the singing) so make sure to highlight the ones that demonstrate leadership skills.
I think HBS will be tough, but the other schools you list seem more reasonable for your profile.
Good luck!
