Energy is really niche, the money is more than decent but very few good places in Tier - 1. Electricity is the dominant sub-area which has its fair share of practitioners. If you can get a hang of oil and natural gas sector, you can very well go in-house, including working in other jurisdictions.
IP is immensely fun work but the pay in India is poor, incuding in T-1s. There's no dearth of IP matters, they're just concentrated in a few firms. If you have a decent practice, you can keep getting onto the meaty matters. If you have a patent background, it'll be easier to work in other jurisdictions. Otherwise, your best bet would be to go in-house if you want to move out of India.
