For Caltech, MIT, Harvard, and Stanford you are probably pretty close to an average applicant, although your ECs might be weaker than average and being an Indian male won’t help. As such, your chances are probably no better than the average admission rate for each school unless you have a “hook” that you are not telling us about.
