I asked to a few friends in India and I am under the impression that it will be very much difficult if not impossible to earn required money. From whatever little understanding I have of Indian companies - it seems like startups tend to give you more equity while big companies give you long-term shares. None of them are useful for me as I need to make loan payments every month over $1.2k (=~ INR 70k).<p>Moreover, if I include living expenses, taxes, etc. it becomes nearly impossible to get this much high paying job in India (I might be wrong - been over 3 years since I was in India).  Student loans really make you think twice before taking any risks in life.
