Hello arigmatf
First things first- If you have a compelling reason to pursue an MBA, why would you want to delay it by another year- looking at your years work ex. If you are planning to the take the GMAT by August you can easily apply in R2.
Coming to the profile front, ISB or IIM will look at your profile holistically on the following factors.
1. Academic Potential- They will evaluate your past scores+GMAT to see if you will be able to handle the academic pressure. So withe your past scores a 720+ is recommended.
2. Quality of Work Ex- Industry + Role + No. if Years + Career Progress + Key Achievements. Now you have mentioned the industry role and year, the most important elements are missing- Career Progression & Achievements. With your experience they will want to see decent career progress and maturity. Also be prepared to answer why MBA and why Now?
3. Clarity of Goals- This is the most critical part of an MBA application, more than the GMAT or work ex. What are your future goals? Why do you need an MBA to fulfill these goals? Why ISB/IIM? In the absence of this information, it is virtually impossible to give a detailed feedback.
4. Diversity- Indian. IT. Male. Many years of work ex. You will have to bring out your differentiating factor in your essays. How will the class benefit from your presence?
To summarize, if you are sure of going for an MBA you should target class of 2020 that 2021 (unless your personal situation demands it)
Detailed profile review is tough due to some missing key elements. IIMs might be a slightly better suited choice for you (taking nothing away from ISB). But that decision is to be made later if you have offers from both ISB & IIM.
