That professional experience is good, but don't underestimate how much work you'll need to do to demonstrate how you're unique. There are lots of Indian applicants with tech backgrounds, many of whom have done impressive things, but obviously most of them don't get in. The ones who don't get in probably fail because they don't sound unique enough, not because of a low GMAT score or GPA.
Your hobbies will help, especially if you can clearly and compellingly explain why they matter to you (you ideally can tie them back to your desire to get an MBA, but don't force it). Your lack of community involvement will make it tougher for you, though. Just be aware of that.
