Scholarships are always tough to say but I would say probably not with scholarship but your GMAT score should help you warrant consideration. Your struggle will be standing out. So focus your emphasis on identifying and communicating how you're unique

Hi eektvas

- While you will certainly have a chance at (with strong apps) the schools you list, you should perhaps look at broadening the list a bit. For example, why not IIMC as well in India or Cornell or UCLA in the US (just examples)? Also, perhaps look to add 1-2 safe schools to this list apart from ISB.
- Your undergrad CGPA is a bit low, but then your work experience is quite rich, and your ECA achievements are quite good as well.
- Viewnet and the Innovation Award can be significant aces up your sleeve to focus on in your apps.

Hope this helps. Feel free to come back with more questions as needed.
