Hi Aritra,
Thanks for writing! It looks like you have solid academics and progressive work experience based on the info you've provided. Do you have any initiatives/involvement outside of work, or leadership outside of your core duties at work (i.e. employee training, company committees)? This would improve your chances of success. If so, I think you can aim for the top 20 US schools -I'd go for a mix of reach schools, schools that are in your "strike zone" and schools you feel even more comfortable getting into.
Regarding schools that are particularly strong in tech, a few that come to mind are: Sloan, Kellogg, Haas (most competitive), Ross, Stern, and Anderson (competitive).
Here is an article I wrote recently on how to get a head start on the application process, which has some good tips:
