Thanks for sharing your profile. The two most important thing for you 1)Work Experience - you need to make sure you continue kicking butt at working and securing some strong examples where you individually were able to make an impact / drive results. Also sharing examples of strong interpersonal skill development will go a long way especially for an Indian applicant. 2)GMAT - you will need to hit your score targets so somewhere in the 740 -760 range would make you a legitimate candidate for the top 20 MBA programs.

Hi there,
you have such an interesting background. Thanks for sharing.
To answer your questions:
1. Please evaluate my candidature for top 20 US schools as well as top 5 schools in Europe.
If you do hit the target score 760 in the GMAT, you definitely have chances of admission to Top 20 US schools and Top 5 European Schools.
2. Please suggest areas where I can improve my profile over the next year before I apply to schools in September 2018.
- Try to get some international experience. This is especially important for European schools, and almost a must for INSEAD. It does not necessarily have to be professional experience. Schools such as INSEAD look for international ambition in their students.
- (As the other commenter said) Try to work on accomplishments that are attributable directly to you, and outstanding examples of leadership.
Good luck!
