Possibly! You do have some great outside of work contributions. It'll be a little bit of a toss-up because you are coming from a competitive demographic and a 680 is not only below the "magic" 700 but it is also far below the implied threshold for Indian candidates: 730.

I am not sure how flexible the top schools (HEC, LBS, LSE) will be despite your solid non-work achievements, which is why I think you should apply but definitely also focus on the lower-ranked schools on your list. The GMAT score skews below 700 and will take less pressure off of the value assigned to those other components.

A lot of candidate success comes from how you sell yourself! Make sure you write really good essays that capture both the content and thematic cohesion of your achievements.

Good luck,
