You should narrow your search by region. Where do you want to go to school, and what are your goals (settle somewhere else or go back to your home country)?

The lower end of the top 25 (Cornell/Johnson or Oxford/Said, for example,) might be in range but I would still consider those as reach schools. Something like IMD or Carnegie Mellon/Tepper might be more realistic.

In general, I think your marketing and entrepreneurial experience might be interesting to admissions committees; it sets you apart from the highly competitive Indian students with higher GMATs who generally come from the tech and engineering fields.
