Your profile is actually pretty nice for Indian School of Business because it’s not the usual engineer + IT story.
Urban Planning background + analytics at ZS + startup/ecell leadership gives you a slightly different angle, which helps.
Your extracurriculars are genuinely good too, especially the Wipro Earthian award and mentoring work. Those are the kind of things that add personality to an application.
Main thing now is GMAT. For ISB, try to get somewhere around 675–695 FE and you’ll be in a solid spot.
Only weak area is maybe academics in 12th, but it’s not a big issue if your GMAT is strong.
Big advice: don’t make your essays too generic like “I want to move into consulting/product/etc.” Your profile has a more impact/sustainability/urban systems angle, use that properly.
