Post that, I moved to Flipkart ( a leading e-commerce company in India), where I have worked in multiple teams in the last 2.5 years. I have had exposure to multiple angles of the business (have worked with vendors/suppliers, sellers, banks) over this period, and am currently into Strategy and Operations for Payments and Consumer Finance business (we strive to drive affordability for customers by closely working with banks).

Hi Gagandeep,
Consulting is the most common recruiting industry at B-schools, and top 20-25 schools can get you there. If you mean PM role in tech industry, then again most top schools, those on the West Coast (Haas, UCLA, UW etc.) and schools such as Tepper or specialized programs such Cornell's could be considered. Few go into operations. While reputed programs will get you there, you'll have to consider schools case by case. Another thing to consider is feasibility in getting sponsored for visa. It would be relatively easier in case of PM and consulting roles.

Having said that, you need to have one clear goal.
