First thing you want to do is retake the GMAT. Then, when considering what your best option is really depends on what you want to do in the future. Personally, 1 and 3 sound more like differentiators of your pier group - there are a lot of applicants in India from software companies and this is a competitive group.

Besides recommending you retake the GMAT, I would advise you to consider what you wish to do as your career goals and choose the path that would give you competencies towards accomplishing these goals.

Good luck,
