Hey dude,
Well to tell you the truth I need more details! Your GMAT is awesome, no doubt about that!
Your extra currics are kind of a biiiit standard, but at least we got something to work with.
Your school, although good is non-IIT which can make Top 10 schools a bit tougher.
But I don't have much to go on in terms of your work experience, your leadership, your volunteer work.
But anyhow, with your great GPA and GMAT, Top 20 should be about right for you (although Top 5 will be tough)

Thank you for replying Jon.
I am working with a reputable Computer Security firm in India.
I have total 38 months of work experience. I worked in a IT service
sector company for first 7 months of my career.
I have worked in various role such as black box tester, white box tester, and
development engineer (current role). I have worked with product managers to
find solutions to the security challenges we faced. I have done many POCs for that.
I have worked in encryption domain and I am currently working for cloud security product.
Apart from employee of the quarter I have received other rewards as well.
In my first company, during a training program, I got a chance lead of my team
for a project. (I don't have any certification of that)
Engineers Without Borders (EWB) is a club with the aim of doing social work.
We taught underprivileged students. We worked with orphanages and conducted
training and other programs for children there.
I hope these details help you more in evaluating the profile.
I know I don't have very strong profile and I want to be realistic while applying.
I got my official score. Scored 5.5 in AWA.

Hey there,
Thanks for the additional info! Allright, so things look pretty good, and I think I'll stick with what I wrote... the 5-20 range is about right for you.
One important piece of advice for you when you write the AdCom: They don't care at ALL about your tech skills!!!! All they want to know about is your leadership, teamwork, results and business skills! You don't wanna come across as sounding too much like a "Techie", but like a Business Leader!
Got what I mean?
Good luck!
And if there's any way I can help, drop a line.
Best,
Jon
