Positives:
1) International work exp
2) Startup
3) Decent GMAT
Weakness
1) Goal clarity - As I see it for now
2) Low on extra currics / social work
3) I.I.M - Surprisingly this weakness could have been eradicated if you were aiming for Tech MBA programs, such as Kelley, Smith, Tepper, NTU etc.
Further questions:
When you say marketeer in entertainment industry, do you wish for a corporate role or entrepreneurship?
"Though i am not really stringent because it is out of interest and i am ignorant of the courses in Strategy and Consulting."
Well you have to be clear and as accurate as possible about your goals, that is one of the first attribute which a B-school admissions committee will notice about an applicant. Being casual about it is very risky.

Hi,
You have a decent GMAT/work-exp. and an avg. GPA. You need to be focused on short/long term goals and post-MBA career. Owning a start-up with international exposure can be add-on in your profile. You can try your chances in b-schools by clicking https://www.general-ed.com/chances-of-bschool
Let me know in case of further queries you might have.
Cheers!!
