Hi, CIA is very specific to internal auditing. As for career growth, it is good to have if you are focused on internal auditing jobs. But, it pales in comparison to the broader CMA and is nowhere near what a CPA license will do for your career. CIA is globally recognized. So, you have the international market open for you which simply means a fair share of opportunities. Internal auditors pay varies according to their post. CIA comes into play in speeding your promotion. In many companies they expect you to be a CIA holder for top level positions. And, CIA+SAP is definitely a good option for a long lasting and fulfilling career. As an IT fresher, ABAP (Technical module) is the best bet. Do not waste your time any further thinking about the other module (HANA, FICO), as they are not recommended for IT freshers. I am sure you must have worked somewhere in the last two years. If you have some functional domain experience, you could look at a SAP functional module. All the best.

Not sure about market in India, but I know lots of Indian firms offering off-shore services and ABAP is one area that can be easily off-shored. SAP is not just for MBAs, especially ABAP - which is more a programming language - while business acumen is important, being an ABAPer is not equivalent to a business analyst. That being said, I really can't comment on the job aspect of your local demand, other than I've seen lots of Indian consulting firms doing great in SAP ABAP consulting.
