Hi there!
You've got a lot of great data here -- involvement in college, community service, CFA. Your profile aligns pretty well with a top US Masters in Management program such as the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. It's actually good that your BTech took 4+ years, because many Indian degrees are granted in three years and some US business schools do require four years of study. So while that sounds like a set-back to you at the time, it may be a blessing in disguise!

Your work experience looks a bit spotty, but for these programs, which prefer less post-undergrad work experience than an MBA program, it will be just about where it needs to be.

It would help me assess your candidacy more if I knew what your career aspirations are post MIM, and whether you want to study in the US, Europe/Asia, or India. There are a lot of options out there, so it's good to narrow your target and then research more deeply into smaller number of schools.
But at first glance, you do look like you could do well in a top MiM program.

Good luck!
