Beyond the matter of goals, you will face very stiff competition in the applicant pool as an Indian male engineer. As such, you should be sure to apply in R1 and to focus on a mix of M7 and T16 programs, since there's never a guarantee for M7 when you are in a hyper-competitive segment of the candidate pool. This is also why creating a set of compelling career plans may help you to stand out.
Best of luck on your application journey!
