Hey Sharingan,
Great to hear from you dude!
So you have a mix of good strengths and tough weaknesses in your profile.
First o all I have to say I love you entrepreneurial profile. It's very exciting and interesting and think you can parlay it into great stories! The question is: can you parlay it into STRONG stories? I don't have enough detail yet to understand that, but it is definitively your number one mission.
Your main challenge is your demographic + Low GMAT... It can be tough with anything less than an absolutely perfect profile for Indian Male candidates, just because of the numbers. Once again, thankfully, you will STAND OUT! And that's the most important. But in addition you will also need that GMAT score (at least a 740 to justify your top target schools).
Other than that, I had a question: You already have an MBA from IIT?
And: What are your goals?
Get back to me, and we'll see what else we can do,
Best,
Jon
