What are your goals?

So, depending on your goals you have the choices
- to go to a weaker MBA (in that case read Shortcut to find the best US MBA www.find-mba.com/board/36065 ) or
- to get a higher GMAT and more work experience and go later to a very good MBA at a better school
- to take an MS in marketing (somewhere like FIU, IIT, UAlabama, Temple, UC Denver, USF.)

What's your score breakdown? If one side of the score (verbal/quant) is substantially lower than the other, you could put some solid effort into the lower side and quickly increase your score.

Honestly, I don't know of many accredited MBAs where a 510 GMAT will be very competitive. If you can get it up to 560-580 you can look at an unranked school like South Florida or San Jose State. 600+ opens up a lot more options though, like Kogod, UMass Boston, maybe even Georgia State.

Goals is mostly work in the states for a couple of years if liking it there then stay there or else then come back to India to my dads business. and giving gmat again is not an option and have to go this year cant go later. From a little conservative family where in they will want me to get married if i stay one more year too.

got 38 in maths and 22 in english

Aayush, I strongly feel you need to retake the GMAT again.
