Here is the basic India job decision tree:

1. Are you an Indian Citizen /OCI?

Ans: yes---- You can work in India as a pilot but you have to convert all your licenses to Indian ones. Low time ok for F/O jobs. If you hire as an "Indian" then you have to have Indian credentials.

Ans : No-- You must have 500 hrs PIC in the aircraft the airline is currently flying. Also must be current within past 6 months. Must have ICAO ATP with appropriate type ratings. No need to convert licenses. You fly on ICAO licenses bu have to take a few tests that the airline helps you with as well as a medical.
