Your profile is such a fresh read for an Indian applicant's. Your work experience is a little less as most of the b-school abroad have students with an average of 5 years work experience. There are ways to beat that - the first one ofcourse is to show maturity in both your application and the interview. Convince the adcom that you are one among the equals in a class with more work experience. Second, your extensive international travel and the experiences gained from them should help build a case for what you can offer to the MBA class. the third is demonstrating that you have had an exceptional career so far- the awards, achievements and career progression will come in handy to demonstrate this.

In terms of your b-school list, you have got a mix of b-schools, which is good. Although I am wondering why you have added b-schools from every continent. I'd ask you to tailor down the list to 5-8 b-schools, based on your interest, program fit and the region (where do you eventually wish to be for the next 3-5 years MBA). My strategy always is to submit solid applications to a smaller number of colleges than submitting a bigger number and making lesser effort on each.

Reach out if you need help on your applications. We'd be happy to chat.
