Looking good so far.
Needless to say a LOT will also depend on your GMAT score, bu from what you have written it's obvious that smarts is not what you are lacking, so I'm confident there!
Other than that your numbers are promising, esp. the promotions.

I think you have TWO missions to get yourself in B-school:
1. Show how all that wonderful experience, and knowledge is translatable to business and to management. The five patents is awesome, because many a company was built off only one! So it shows us that you have the capacity to invent, which is great. But can you DO something with it? Can you show that you have negotiation skills? fund raising skills? skills to recruit the necessary partners? to lead others?

2. Make yourself stand out - You know this already, but Indian Male Techie isn't the easiest of profiles necessarily. So what else have you done besides just work? What else can we throw at the AdCom to interest them?

Now you just need to decide where to apply. With your background if you hit a sweet GMAT you could certainly reasonably apply to some great two year programs - Haas, Tepper, Anderson, McCombs (and others), as for one year programs, if that's the path you will go, likely your schools will be in Europe.

If you have any further Qs, just let us know.

You obviously have a strong technical background. The schools you (eventually) choose would depend both on your GMAT & your goals. For example if you are looking for a career change you might want to only look at programs with an internship.

Good Luck! You do have the makings of a good profile.

Johnson has an accelerated program for applicants with graduate degrees. Other one year programs in the U.S. include Columbia (which is more for people who wish to remain in the same field), Emory, Simon, etc. As Jon stated, Europe offers many of the one year programs from the most competitive at INSEAD to others like IE, IMD, etc.

We need to know more about your goals to advise you on school selection. What do you wish to do following business school and in the long-term? Where do you wish to work?

Best of luck,
