Answer
Hi jasleen,
That is tough question. Although the my only preference would be quality and price. I do not know what kind of prices for flight training you do have in India, but I know fact that there is numerous Indian citizen training in USA. There is number of school specialized with Indian students, as I have learned later that price training in India vs. here in Usa is different. If I am you I would run numbers from schools in India, and then run price numbers for USA facilities. Remember that USA do have train the best pilot in world, as we do have resources and highly qualified instructors.

Best
