With 4 years of post undergrad work experience and a 700 GMAT, you should be well positioned for your target schools. The key will be standing out against other Indian applicants with a similar background. The typical Indian applicant will have a connection to an NGO, and while they will not have likely started their own non-profit like you have, know that they will tell passionate stories about how they are involved. For this reason, you need to really personalize your story for the adcoms in a way that is truly unique and memorable. In your case, having involvement with the government and having been published are things that can help distinguish you. Let us know if you need help organizing your story for the adcoms.
