Your work experience sounds solid & it makes sense to apply next year & not wait any longer. At that point you will already be above the years of work experience for top b-schools (the average is generally 3-5 upon starting) and when you are too far above their average it hurts your candidacy. They start to worry that you no longer need the degree and are too "old."
Since you are planning to wait a year anyway, I would really recommend trying to improve your GMAT if at all possible. As you probably know, you are coming from a very tough demographic when it comes to b-school & it's also one that tends to have very high GMAT scores as well as GPAs. When a school's average score is 700, the score among Indian male applicants is often more like 740. With a 710, I'd recommend schools in the 25-35 range but if you can improve your score to 720 or 740 it would make schools in the 15-25 range more accessible. It's great that you don't have an engineering background but you will still be compared against this demographic.
Hope that helps & good luck to you!
