I always judge the viability of career opportunities based on how popular a technology is becoming.

Elasticsearch is starting to be used by many different commercial applications. For example:

- Redhat, Satelite server uses Elasticsearch on the backend
- IBM Sterling Order Management System, Uses Elasticsearch for it Search Product datbase
- Nagios Logging usues it. and I could list probably 20 main stream open source projects using it
- AWS has it implemented so, they would not do it if they did not think it had a future.
- Plus there are a number of Startups implementing their only Cloud Solution or SAS

Now unfortunately I am not in india and can not advise on your local opportunities

What I can say, is that knowing Elasticsearch alone will not provide you a lot of options. It needs to be paired with something

For example

- website display/searching
- Log Searching
- IDS/IPS
- Real time data like stock data/financial
- and so on.
