Okay, as I was reading through your profile, I was thinking at first "Okay, another Indian Tech dude with a good GMAT and grades... this will be tough". BUT then I read on and saw that you have two preeeetty unique things that make you stick out
1. Your franchise
2. Your NGO

And taken together they can be very impressive. So I think your school list is pretty good, but maybe a bit flat. Meaning all the schools are pretty much at the same level, and I think you would be competitive at them, but maybe you could add one "dream" school, and one safe school.

Overall, I would suggest you totally downplay the "techiness" of your profile, and emphasize rather your achievements and leadership.

Otherwise your goals make sense! (I don't say THIS very often :) )

Best,
JF
