Does giving GRE instead of GMAT affects the chances of getting into ISB?

No it does not, taking either of the test would not hamper your chances of getting an admit from ISB. This is, however, a personal choice depending on what you are more comfortable with - if it is quant that is your forte - GMAT would probably be a better option. If you are more confident in your verbal abilities, GRE would probably be the way to go!
