Get involved with open source projects. Get noticed in the community. When you're out of college, you could use the network you build in the communities to land you a job.

Red Hat does have an office in Pune, you know that -- right?

I feel like i was livin under a rock. Didnt knew there are good companies in India. I knew about Red Hat though. I will join the other communities like barcamp suggested below too.

Is there any google group or irc for people working in product dev and good service companies?

I don't know about service companies -- but you can look up irc channels where fedora-india people hang out, it has quite a few Red Hat people in there. There also is the fedora-india mail list that you can join and take part in the Fedora Students Contributing program to pick up jobs to do.
