You have a great profile, particularly considering that your background and work experience will parlay nicely into your future goals. B-schools like it when a story makes sense, and although switching careers is not uncommon among applicants, it can sometimes be a tougher sell if there is no evidence the candidate will be successful. In your case, your background in the markets will be very valuable to the hiring firms when it comes time to get an internship or job, so you will be perceived by the adcoms as very "employable," which, given the schools are evaluated in part on how many of their students have a job at graduation, will make you a safe bet from that perspective. Great GMAT and involvement, and the CFA is impressive too. You should also stand out as an Indian applicant with something other than engineering or IT in your work history. Good luck and let us know if we can be helpful.
