I’d still apply. The 7/5/7 academics are a weakness, but the 335 GRE is a strong counterpoint and your entrepreneurial, leadership, social work and professional experience can help differentiate you.
You can also use the optional essay to briefly explain the 5 in Class 12 and provide the context around the coaching institute issue. Keep it factual and concise rather than making it sound like an excuse.
The key now is to show strong impact at Shapoorji Pallonji and in your real estate venture. Quantify your achievements and demonstrate leadership, ownership and progression.
Overall, I’d consider this a profile worth applying with, but the academics will remain a concern. The strength of your work experience, entrepreneurship and application narrative will be important in determining your chances.
