670 will not be enough for INSEAD, though it may work at Indian schools. The rest of your profile is good, so focus on pushing your GMAT to 700+ (if not 720+) to have a good chance at INSEAD.

There is one very important aspect that wasn't mentioned regarding your profile, but I imagine you may already know it. The total number of INSEAD admits is capped at 10% for any nationality. USA and India are the two nationalities that are impacted by this. Practically speaking, it means the competition is tougher if you come from either of these two countries and even more so if you are male. As was mentioned, 670 gmat is not sufficient as an Indian applicant. You need to aim for 720+.

Thanks for sharing.

You would have to seriously consider retaking and improving on the GMAT to help your chances. Distinguishing yourself from other accomplished Indian applicants is also critical. Unique experiences at work and interesting extracurricular activities would also help.

All the best!
