I gave the GMAT recently and got a 690. Although I am confident I can get a better score if I give it a second try, I was just wondering whether getting into Top 20 schools would be possible with this score and my profile, which is as follows

GMAT - 690
Age - 25 yrs
UGPA - 3.1
Bachelors in Chemical Engineering
Work experience 4 yrs with 3 yrs managerial experience
Currently, working in a leading consumer goods company in India as a Production manager with 15 people reporting to me
Involved in organizing events in college
Not much community service

I want advice whether I should retake the GMAT or apply with this score

A 690 is actually a good score. In order to determine your level of competitiveness, look at the 80% range of GMAT scores for the schools you are interested in and figure out where your score falls. Chances are, you will be in pretty good shape. Also, remember that the GMAT is only one component of your application and you should make sure other areas are strong as well. This includes being able to clearly articulate short and long-term goals, knowing how the school meets your specific needs, getting strong LORs, writing great essays, and giving good interviews.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
