You have a really good profile. I would rather recommend you to apply for US schools which are known for supply chain/ops rather applying to NUS as it is more inclined towards finance. You may look at schools like Ohio State University, Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan State University etc. Singapore management university can also be considered. They have a Jan intake.

Well, you come from a great school, this PepsiCo deal sounds very impressive and sweet (sorry for the bad pun! :) ), you have good managment experience and some extras...

So really only your GMAT is a biiit on the low side. If you are focusing on Asian schools then just go for the best ones there - NUS, NTU, INSEAD-CEIBS if you want mainland, HKUST.. and so on... in general the GMAT average of the Asian programs (outside India) is not thaaaaaat high like in America, so if you apply to a good spread of 5-6 schools, you should be fine.
