Hey Vivek,
Good to hear from you. So let's take a look at your profile

The best thing in your profile is your work experience: Two fantastic companies in your background, and what seems to be a very good and quick promotion schedule. Awesome! It will make up a bit for you being an Indian/Tech/Male. :)

Your GMAT is very good but not high enough for the schools that are on your list. Those GMAT average are going up up up and Top 10s are about 720. So you may be aiming a bit high.

Other than your pool (Indian Tech Male) your grades and school are the toughest challenge - being a non IIT and pretty good, but not top grades are going to make it tougher.

I think that your school list is probably a weeeee bit on the ambitious side, and Top 10 schools for you are a stretch, so you should probably choose one or two of your preferred schools in Top 10, and concentrate the rest of your energies on schools in the 10-30 range.

I hope this helps,
JF
