WordPress runs a very large fraction of the world's websites, and the Indian market for building and maintaining those sites is genuinely active — agencies, small businesses, and freelance work all hire steadily. Be clear-eyed about what the role is: it pays less than software engineering and the ceiling arrives early unless you move into plugin development or custom PHP. For someone who wants to start earning quickly, or who intends to freelance, it is a legitimate and fast route into paid technical work.
