Hey there!
Great to hear from you!
So first of all, amazing GPA there! It's one of the highest I've seen coming from an Indian school. It may not be IIT/NIT, but if its a good school it still helps a lot.
R.e. the GMAT - Dont retake the GMAT juuuuust for the IR, whoever if you do think you can go better on the main sections, then it might be worth your while to retake. For some thoughts on this look here:

Best,
Jon
