If I plan to study abroad and settle there for 10 to 15 years, will I be able to consider coming back to India later?

Yes, you can return to India after living abroad for 10 to 15 years. Many professionals come back with valuable international experience, which is often seen as an advantage in the Indian job market, especially in multinational companies or roles that value global exposure.

Be prepared for some adjustment to Indian work culture and lifestyle. It's also important to keep your Indian documents (like Aadhaar, PAN, and bank accounts) updated to ensure a smooth transition.
