Hi CrescentMoon!
Thanks for reaching out. I think you have a strong profile, especially on the work side. In particular, I like that you've worked in global companies with some cross-cultural exposure and can show significant project leadership. Your goals within tech / product management seem like a logical outgrowth of your path so far and I think will be seen as realistic goals to achieve via the MBA. I also really like the 'extras' you have like the freelance startup work, and CSR activities. Sounds like you are the well-rounded type of person those programs look for.
In terms of stats, your GPAs both sound strong, but your GMAT strikes me as a bit low, especially for schools like LBS that have 700+ averages and also comparing your profile to other applicants in the engineering / tech pool. It's not a dealbreaker for me, but I think if you could improve your GMAT, particularly on the Verbal / IR side, that could help your chances. I know retaking GMAT is not logistically easy right now though.
Hope that helps, and good luck!
