PB12, a few thoughts on your profile evaluation:
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,
- On the academic arc, the NIT pedigree and a healthy GPA is always a good starting point - which NIT are you from? In general, one can usually add 20-30 points to a given school's average to get a sense of the Indian GMAT average - more for NITians. While schools have been looking at IR scores, but we've not seen them being deal breakers as such. But given the perspective I shared, a retake can be worth it if you feel you can push the score higher.
- The professional profile sounds promising though it's tough to assess without the actual brand of your employers. Also important to understand in case any of these were short-lived. On-site exposure is always quite useful. Risk as a function tends to be under-represented in bschools. So make sure to articulate the business impact of your work, well.
- The ECs look just about ok especially after college. Schools look for clear evidence of impact delivered so think along those lines.
- For reasons mentioned here, we don't speculate on school selection or chances. That being said, there are very few top league programs in Asia as such and thus, INSEAD is always worth a shot - a higher score will help there further. You may also find this post on Singapore schools useful.
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,

Hello PB12,
Thanks for the details.
Considering you have time at hand, we do not see any harm in you re-taking the GMAT; not only will this give you a chance to improve your IR score but also help "spike" the GMAT factor in your application; as you probably already know, the GMAT score expectations are always higher for Indian males coming from engineering backgrounds.
You may also consider adding HKUST to the list of schools you are looking at; INSEAD Singapore is also an option in case you are able to improve your GMAT score by 30-40 points.
All the best!
. But that is because some of us have delivered results in the past. I will rather take this as a compliment from them.
