Hi there,

Thanks for sharing your profile. It sounds like you have some strong experiences, quantitatively speaking and in terms of international exposure, and the fact that you've actually worked in several countries makes your resume stronger than the average client applying with your background. Your 700 GMAT is fairly average for applicants from India with similar backgrounds. I wasn't sure if you were saying you had 2 years of total work experience, or just for the one job? If only 2 years total, that is a drawback especially for LBS and INSEAD, and you may want to consider getting more experience first and then applying. Otherwise, the biggest question will be how will you stand out from the crowd of applicants, and what are your goals and reasons for the MBA. You would have a fighting chance at both programs, but a lot rides on what I just mentioned. Good luck to you and let us know how we can help!
