Dear Mihir,
First of all, most excellent to hear from you!
First of all, nice GMAT!! You have overall a very solid profile with good experience and even some strong leadership. I think your selection as management trainee in your first job is your strongest advantage.
At the same time, you have some built in challenges to your profile -
1. You are an Indian male candidate, so the applicant pool you are coming from is the toughest
2. You are not an IIT/NIT grad.
3. You have a soso GPA
Now none of these things are terrible, but taken together, to be honest it will make Top 10 schools a real challenge. So that means that your school list as it currently is, is too tough. My initial suggestion would be for you to expand your school list in the 10-30 range. Right now all of your schools ( with the exception of Mendoza) are very challenging. Which means to me that the school list needs adjustment to be strategically balanced.
I hope this helps!!
