Headshots are expected in CVs in the vast majority of the world. To my knowledge the big exceptions are US, UK, Canada, and Australia. But even there it's more like an "exception" since there's generally an unstated expectation that an employer can find more information, including a headshot, of you online.

There are more people in India than those 4 countries combined. Not sure of your point?
