You are being too hard on yourself. Your academics are strong and your career progression is impressive. Your ECs are fine. Many schools are placing less emphasis on ECs because they are difficult to verify. Your goal is to show that you are well-rounded and have interests outside of work. I will ad...

I am assuming you are looking for a strong General Management program. If so, the listed schools look reasonable. It will definitely help your chances if you can score towards the higher end of your practice GMAT range. Ideally, you want to be towards the top of the school's 80% range of GMAT scores...

Your GMAT score is a bit low for top-tier U.S. MBA programs but it may still be in the competitive range for some mid-tier schools. The bigger issue is the fact that you already have two graduate level degrees. It will be difficult to create a compelling case as to why a third master's degree will g...

More than two jobs on your resume should not be an issue. If you frequently changed jobs/roles/companies, you will need to be able to tie them together and provide a reasonable explanation for the changes. You don't want to come across as a sporadic employee without a plan. Otherwise, it may appear ...

As I am sure you have heard a million times, Indian applicants with IT backgrounds tend to be a very competitive pool of applicants.

Your profile is strong and your school selections are pretty good. You should look at schools in the top 10-20 range for a "safety" school. When selecting schools, be sure that the school's strengths align with the skill sets you need to acquire to be successful post-MBA.
