Hello,
Thanks for the info; I do see a lot of strengths to your profile, though you are coming from a competitive demographic... but the multiple promotions, extensive international experience, the level of strategic work you are doing, and your extra-curriculars all help.
I think you would have a potential shot at ISB & IIMs, though not easy by any means. In terms of schools outside of India, it really depends upon so many factors and your preferences, but would be great to aim for those with a GMAT average of say 650-680 for better chances. If looking at the US, that might be schools in the roughly 20-40 ranking give or take (US News) for example. But there are great options in Australia, Asia, Europe etc too.
In terms of re-taking, if you feel you could improve (the quant in particular), then why not give it another shot right, depending upon your timelines... but varies based upon how many times you've taken it, your deadlines, how your practice test scores went, etc. Keep us posted!
Hello Jen,

In the pas, I have had worked on two Make-In-India projects (an initiative of Indian Government towards foreign investments in India) with Japanese teams.
Also, once I was selected for an inspection tour and visited a Japanese firm for a fortnight.
Besides this, I frequently liaise with foreign vendors for procurement of equipment. Most vendors are European.
But EVEN then, I have NOT travelled abroad.

Please suggest my chances at following b-schools:

5) Kellogg
6) Haas
7) Fuqua
8) Darden
I would be obliged to receive your help.
Thanks in advance.
