I have done quite a few internal training's in HSBC related to Finance and Business Analysis

I have also lead our college team participating in Inter-college competitions as a chief coordinator. I have myself participated few competitions like Business Idea presentation and got prizes in the same.
I want to peruse my career in Finance.

Re: Profile Evaluation
Hello,
Thanks for sharing your profile. It's difficult to say what programs you should apply for without knowing your interests and the kind of school you are looking for. As you are probably aware, you fall into the Indian Male IT professional demographic, and therefore it is a bit harder to get into top business schools unless you have a strong way of differentiating yourself.
Your professional experience is very technical in nature, and unfortunately, this career path does not lend itself to as much business and/or leadership exposure as other fields do, so that may be a weakness in your application. As for academics, it's tough to say in the absence of your GMAT score, but your GPA seems quite low (this could just be a conversion issue, anything 70% or above would be pretty average for your peer group). I don't see anything really differentiating in the way of community/extracurriculars, so again, that will be a gap.
So, while I can't recommend specific schools, I would say that if you can achieve a really strong GMAT score, it would greatly strengthen your profile. In the absence of that, I'd say that you should be looking at Tier 2 programs that match your interests.
All the best,
Mili
