Help Required - GMAT 760

Hi,

I have come across few of the posts where you have helped candidate like me who are having self doubt.
I haven't given my GMAT yet, but I am scheduled to give it on 13th August 2013.
I am constantly hitting a score of 750-770 in my mocks and believe could score around 760.

Now coming to my profile:
I am an Indian male candidate , 25 years
old having 26 month of experience as of now, which would be around 38
month till the time I start my MBA.
I have done my graduation in 2011 from a top NIT in Computer Science (top 15 in Country) with a CGPA of 7.23/10 which is decent as per my college standards.
Also I could defend my low CGPA as it declined in last 1.5 yrs when me and my friends were trying our hands on entrepreneurship
SSC 90.2%, HSC-85.4% .

Work Exp:
13 months as Software Developer in R&D team in Software Company ( 4th Largest
S/w company)

13 months as Deputy Manager in Retail Bank ( Largest Pvt Bank in India)-CRM Project Team NON IT Role
Worked as Project Manager for CRM system Migration for the whole bank

Hands on experience with a startup- started in college days.

Post MBA Plans : Start a company based on technology and finance( my two favorite stream) bringing trading / stock market news to every household .
This model would work really well in country like India, where most of the general population are still not aware about debt /mutual funds/stock market etc..

In later stage become a venture capitalist, helping start-ups not only with funding but expertise.

Now I know my profile is not outstanding but I believed that If I stretch my score around 770 and have decent essays and application I have a short at top 20. With that thing in mind I contacted few famous consultant in India as well as US, but have become more disappointed as most of them have asked me to target colleges from 35-50. It feels that from start only they are sure that top 30 is out of reach.
Currently I am more or less planning to go without any consultant as I have become more worried after talking to them , than before I was.

Since I have seen you honestly replying to many male Indian candidate and helping them.
I just want to ask do you agree with the rest of the consultants.

Regards
