I think you'll find that there are lots of Indian dispatchers out there looking for work. The dispatcher factory in DXB churned out lots of them over the years. The job itself is not well paid in India either, so you might be better off checking what jobs are available at whatever carrier you are interested in and seeing if it is then worth the expense.

The problem with having a cpl and trying to get into dispatch is that many ops/flt dispatch managers want people who will stay for the longer haul. Someone who wants to fly will only stay until a flying job comes up and then bolt. Low time pilots regularily try to get in the back door by trying to work in ops, it has its merits for sure but as I said, most ops centres want people who will stick around; especially if they are going to invest some money in training you.

Good luck with it.
