I'm not sure how accurate StatCounter is, given that most Linux users use adblockers. However, according to it, Linux has almost a 14% desktop share in India.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

When you're ready to go back to the job market, I recommend you to join a company that develops a product. Not a service company that will sell you like fresh meat to its clients, like the one you listed.
Do you have any interest in relocating outside India? You seem to have a good domain of English and softskills on top of some Linux. I wouldn't mind taking a look at the personal projects you mention
Currently, I don't think that my resume is good enough, so I would say that I'm not ready yet. I am more inclined towards academia, but my plan to prepare for European universities haven't gone well, so I'm probably going to focus on a few year's worth of job experience in the domestic market.
