Shubhendu,

A few reflections on your profile:

1. Not sure about the reputation of your undergrad college but your experience could be interesting. You haven't really mentioned if you've had any achievements at work though - that will be important to assess if you can differentiate. Merely being part of certain organization doesn't mean good/bad in terms of work quality
2. There is no mention of the GMAT. If you are yet to take it, some indication about expected score will be good to assess the chances. Your relative position during undergrad will be good to understand too
3. The ECs look great. What's very good is that you've continued this at workplace too. A fact worth talking about in essays. You've not made any mention about your post-MBA plans though. Overall, the information is pretty sketchy to do a realistic assessment. The objective parameters of the profile look interesting though. Feel free to do a follow-up post to provide some more information

Cheers,
