Hi Harsha,
You have some unique experiences here that will add value to application essays for top business schools. Your numbers (GPA, GMAT) are solid enough, although not spectacular, and the international nature of your work will be valuable. We will want to learn more about your leadership and impact in these roles, and most importantly, your post-MBA goals. What do you hope to achieve through the MBA, and where do you hope to work, in what role, for what organization? How do you hope to impact the world in the long term? Why are you choosing to apply to each school on your list, in light of these goals?
I have worked with applicants from similar backgrounds, and the good news is that they have done well with top European and American MBA programs. So your strategic task is to make a compelling case for your goals and the MBA as the path to get there.

Good luck with your applications!
