GPA is usually a metric that gets your foot in the door but not much else. You will have to network your ass off to get interviews. It's very difficult getting past HR with a low GPA so you will have to try and circumvent HR through cold calls, referrals, and leveraging connections. Demonstrating your knowledge and experience to actual employees through good questions during coffee chats and phone calls is key.

If a call or meeting goes well enough you can be greenlit through HR and avoid the typical screening process.

What you lack in GPA you will have to make up for in other areas. If you have solid internship/work experience then try to make that the focus of your pitch. Be curious, be engaged, show that you are driven, and have essentially done your homework on the company and the industry (if relevant).

Take GPA off of your resume, but be prepared to answer what your GPA is as well as why it is so low.The quality of ur ug is also a major factor on how your gpa is viewed. In my experience BBs we're off the table with my low GPA as their screening process is more structured, but you may not find that to be the case.
