The job in Merchant Navy is quite different from the Navy. While the responsibility of Indian Navy is to protect our coasts from possible invasion, Merchant Navy is concerned about trade links of India and rest of the world.

And its not just the salary and sense of adventure but the prestige that is associated with the jobs in Merchant Navy that makes it such a attractive field for the youth of India. In the end, I should also mention that Merchant Navy jobs also comes with huge perks. Several officer level jobs allow you to travel with your wife on the long journeys in the sea.
