Hello Abhirami,
There is very little scope in India for such specializations. India is still a developing country and at nascent stage as far as research in life sciences is concerned. You can get jobs in research and development, but the initial pay will be quite low. It may take you 4-5 years to get a decent salary package. The condition abroad is far better.
All the best.
