Hi NIKHIL00712,

Since you're ultimately asking Admissions questions, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement (and the more time that you have to act on that advice, the better). There's a Forum full of those Experts here:

Hi  NIKHIL00712  hope this finds you well

You have a good Quant score, but I understand you are having difficulty with the Verbal component. I don't think that's a deal breaker as long as you demonstrate the appropriate strengths on the other aspects of your application, however, a retake will alleviate any concerns.

Your application and narrative must be refined to highlight your passion for going forward in your profession with an MBA as a springboard.
You did not state your goals, however as someone with an operations background, you may use your past expertise managing teams and projects to excel in professions in operations leadership or supply chain or operations planning/design. Eventually, in the corporate sector, you will experience steep learning and develop ample knowledge and skill to pivot to other areas that may interest you.

I suggest you strongly consider IIM A/B, C, XLRI, SPJain as back up options.

Please contact me if you need help pitching your case to the adcom.
