Well as an Indian Techie you are facing the most uphill of battles! But gotta conquer than mountain right?

Here are four things I feel will really help out
1. Kick the heck out of the GMAT (No brainer here)
2. Show a constant fast-track up the leadership ladder and abnormal success in your work history
3. BE UNIQUE - You gotta find some point, some story, something that they will have never seen before.
4. Make sure your goals are TIGHT - Logical goals = more attractive candidate.

That's a good place to start.
