I hope you are aware of the situation back in India is really bad for fresh pilots with 6000 unemployed and increasing by the day....

Moreover you will need to give DGCA papers ( which I highly recommending clearing first before you head anywhere )
Conversion to Indian DGCA license is small nightmare to face upon return and no Indian carrier will look at you without an Indian DGCA license in hand

Dont forget that airlines in India expect you to bear the cost of the type rating
This cost is over and above the money you pay for obtaining the basic CPL
In IndiGo this about 34,500 USD
In Jet Airways its 20 lakhs plus 10 lakh bank guarantee
In Air Costa its 35 lakhs

Lots pilots dont take these costs into consideration when deciding upon the pilot career
