The minimum experience requirement for who gets hired is usually determined by the company that insures the aircraft. To fly a Caravan on floats in Canada or Alaska you would be looking at a minimum of 1500 hr. TT with 1000 hr. on floats and 50 hr. on the caravan on floats. Some companies will accept in-house upgrade training from higher time float pilots.
For the operation in India, find out what their insurance minimums are and work from there. Get an F/O seat on a Twin Otter in the Maldives, then wrangle a 185 or Beaver seat in some mosquito-infested paradise in N Canada or Alaska to get some hard seat time. Then present yourself to the India Caravan outfit (after the mosquito bite swelling goes down)
