After reading the FAQ I think I should apply for the game companies in India first.

Yes, good idea. You should have mentioned sooner that you were trying to apply for an overseas job.

Ubisoft's Indian studio would be Pune, correct?
This is a fairly new studio. They are recruiting fresh talent and it may well be a very good opportunity for you.
I'd really recommend sending in an application their way.

The fact you were there before they invented the wheel doesn't make you any better than the wheel nor does it entitle you to claim property over the wheel. Being there at the right time just isn't enough, you need to take part into it.

I have a blog!
