Hi Vikas,

Applicants with international experience have an edge when applying to ISB. Your GMAT score is a concern. If you have solid achievements at work place and if you can highlight them in your essays, you can have a decent shot at ISB. I would advise you to retake GMAT in order to improve your chance.
