For a one-year full-time MBA, your GMAT should be about right. However, these kinds of programs differ a lot at different schools, so you'll want to take your research to the next level and identify which schools on your list really do have one-year full-time MBAs, as opposed to EMBAs, and then assess the specific requirements and recruitment patterns for each program.
A note about goals: when schools as for your post-MBA goal, they mean that first step OUT of the MBA, rather than "CEO of a large company", which is not typically the first job MBA graduates get. Be thinking about who specifically will hire you with a one-year MBA from School X, and why, with your 13 years of experience, you need that MBA in order to get that particular job.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply.
I would be ok with 1 to 1.5 years Full time MBA if I get half/full scholarship.
Intention is also do MBA from US.

How strong is the profile and GMAT score for the schools listed (OK with 1.5 years full time MBA also)?

Not all of the schools on your list have a one-year full-time MBA, so you will need to research that before you can assess your own chances for them. Seems to me that you are just at the beginning of a research process here.
