Hmm, there's a lot of stuff here I like but your GMAT makes me hesitate a bit. I think you have an interesting story and have done an amazing job with your company - that's downright impressive! And you've worked in the US and in India and you've gone to a great master's program. You did well there too! And on top of all that, you have been involved outside of work too. I think with your experiences you could make a really compelling story work. So if you applied to your target list, would you convert? Absolutely. But if you can bump that GMAT up a little bit, you'd have a much better shot at one of those higher ranked programs. I mean, Kelley is great and all, but if you're interested in renewables don't you just really want to go to Haas or Fuqua? So what are the odds you can retake that GMAT?

I agree that you need to up your GMAT score. Your verbal is at the 90th percentile which is fine for an international but your quant is at the 68th percentile.....I recommend the 70th+ for people with humanities backgrounds .... but for someone with your academic qualifications AND the fact that you're stuck competing against other Indian applicants who will sit the GMAT multiple times to get a 720+....well that all adds up to the fact that you also need a better quant and overall score.
Obviously schools like LBS have taken an interest in you so I think you are competitive for your target schools. Get your GMAT up and also take a look at your overall story to make sure it makes sense. I was sort of surprised to see that you had started a successful company at such a young age (not coming from an energy background at all) and then wanted an MBA?
You mention that you will transition back to your company after the MBA + working in renewables....I wondered to myself who would be running the company in the meantime? I'm sure that you can explain that but just reading it here it was a bit confusing to me - so I'm wondering if perhaps on your apps last year your story might have confused the adcom a bit??
You might be a wildcard candidate at a school like HBS or Stanford - depending on what your in-depth story looks like. But overall I would view those as reach schools and focus the bulk of your efforts on writing target school apps and resitting the GMAT.
