Question American of Indian Descent Working in India?

Hello,


My parents emigrated from India to the USA. I was born, raised in the USA. I have my FAA ATPL and 5500 hours of flight time.


I have work rights in India. I haven't flown professionally in a few years (other than flight instructing in Cessna and Pipers).


I am looking to return to aviation and I was wondering if I could go to India and get my license converted to an Indian ATPL and apply to Indian carriers such as Air India, Spice, Jet Airways, etc.?


If so, could someone please explain the process such as which flight school I could choose, how long it would take, would this be practical, etc.?


Also, is there anywhere I could get my ATPL converted in the USA?

Also, please do not suggest to stay in the USA, I'm no longer interested in this option.


Thanks.
