Hi,
Don't feel disappointed about your score, also tell us about your academics, you can compensate low GMAT with strong academics. Now its time for you to work on your applications and build strong case with solid essays. Ideally you should target minimum 5 schools to increase your chances. You can also target schools like McGill, Rotman, HEC Montreal, Univ of Calgary. Try B-School Selector tool to shortlist B-schools based on your profile by clicking here https://goo.gl/ocaeu6

arrastra,
The average GMAT score at sauder and schulich is in the range 640-660. So, you are not off as far as GMAT score is concerned. For these schools, your GMAT score is fine. As suggested by Manish, you should rather focus on your essays and rest of the application, which will mainly determine your candidature.

Your GPA isn't high, so you need to have some coherent story (say, percentile in the undergrad class etc.) explaining that you're a fit candidate on the academic scale. You also need to explain the gap in your employment (since April) in your essays.
Since there are few things which are not in your favor, you need to bring out other parts of your profile such as work experience and extracurricular activities strongly.

I would suggest for you to retake the GMAT considering you are applying more from the competitive Indian-male applicant group.
Have a great weekend,
