Profile Review: 22F, Associate Product Manager (2Y), targeting 2026 MBA

I (22F) am an Indian, targetting international MBA (top schools across SE Asia > UK > US - INSEAD, NUS would be ideal) in the 2026 intake. I am seeking guidance about my profile and specifically if I should add more diversity to my profile by making a switch/taking up new projects in the 1 year I have before applying.

Sharing my professional details in reverse chronological order:

2 years workex, and currently working, at a mid-scale e-commerce startup in India as in product management; this place has a good culture, so I have learnt quite a lot and also got promoted 6 months back

BA (Hons) Economics from one of the top colleges in India (SRCC, DU) for non-tech higher studies; was actively involved in many societies, did a lot of internships and have a 9+ CGPA as well

Don't think this would matter, but I have a very good score (98%+) in school as well

Like mentioned above, please help me specifically with how to make the most of this 1 year before I apply to increase my chances for an admit.
