Kedar,
You have some interesting facets in your profile outside your corporate career which can help you carve a slightly different story from the masses. Besides the feel-good stuff, there are few concerns which you should really address in your application:
Applying at 31: This would mean that you will graduate when you are 34. No, you are not in the sweet spot range. Why MBA now? Why not 2 years ago?
Verbal at 69 percentile: This is low even though your GMAT score is decent.

The best way to start evaluating your profile would be by answering why do you really want to do an MBA? Are you just following a career or is there some dream which you are chasing?

We have presence in India and some of our lead consultants are based out of Bangalore. IndusMinds is a team of graduates from top business schools (read UCLA, Stanford, Chicago, Duke, Darden). We offer free 30-minute phone consultation to take this opportunity to test it for yourself. Signature below has the links to contact us and we look forward to assisting you.

What are your goals and which Indian university did you graduate from?

Your GMAT score is a little low for Indian applicants applying to the Top 15 MBA schools but you are competitive for the schools just outside this range: Tepper, UNC Kenan-Flagler, UT Austin, etc.

Good luck,
