Hi shaktitinku - thank you for reaching out! I'm happy to share some thoughts on your profile.
First off, I would definitely recommend retaking the GMAT. As I'm sure you appreciate, you are in an overrepresented demographic and will face stiff competition, even with your less-than-usual work experience. Given that, we would recommend ideally targeting 30 points higher than the average GMAT scores for your target schools, and at the very least getting at or above their average scores.
Your grades look good - did you achieve First Class? And your top 3 grad school is also a plus.
In your extracurriculars, you mention volunteering in a few events. Do you have any leadership experience with your extracurriculars by any chance? Schools will ideally be looking for current, ongoing community leadership experience.
I like your work experience - and it's great that you've had two promotions. Again, schools will want you to demonstrate leadership experience and impact.
You will also benefit from more fully fleshing out your goals with more specificity -- what impact do you want to have and why? How does your experience and an MBA from each specific school help you get there? It will be important to research each of your target schools (attend online events, talk to current students), perhaps to narrow down your list to the best choices, and in any case to be able to explain to each school why they are such a great fit for you.
I hope this helps - best of luck to you!!
