I can't help you on any info about India but the pay you mention doesn't seem much...even for a low time pilot...I can tell you for sure that Bristow is paying a lot more than that to pilots with less than 2000 hours!...of course if you don't mind flying as P2 for a while until you get more experience. Bristow has a diverse range of operations allover the world maybe you could try and apply for a job with them, who knows??
I'm one of their Captains posted at the moment in Mauritania flying 212 and i can confirm we have co-pilots there earning 75000 USD more than what you are getting offered in India and on a 28/28 day roster and with less than 2000 hours experience!...chek their website Bristowgroup.com
Sorry if I am getting you confused at this stage... maybe you should just go ahead for India of course the salaries they pay locally have no comparison with what is paid elsewhere in offshore operations.
All the best on your future career!
