In the current market just having what you term "250 quality hrs" does not make you competitive. Very few outfits are hiring and the competition is tough. Folks are resorting to buying their own type ratings and while that sets you on a higher playing field, it does not mean you will get hired.
Assuming all things being equal, then your connections will help in India.
Otherwise, you have a long wait, unfortunately. It can be 2-3 years. If you can't find a job in aviation move on to something else and maintain your currency as best you can (hard to do in India). Accept any flying job you receive. In the past many freshers scoffed at flying the ATR, in fact refused. They only wanted the AB or NG. Times have changed.
What I find disturbing at times that there are a few CPL holders who actually don't really have a real interest in aviation. They only did it b/c of the potential for income. I had an F/O once you said he got into aviation b/c he was making 50,000/month as a lawyer fresh out of law school. He could make much more as a pilot. His attitude and flying skills were evident.
