hey kaustubhghag!
Software testing is a nice thing to do. Its not compulsory to have certification in software testing but it will help you if you have a certification.

For database certification:
Oracle's DBA and Microsoft's MCDBA are still leaders for database certifications, MySQL Core Certification is establishing itself as a valued credential.
Can you please tell us what are you doing academically?

Testing is a critical phase in the Project development life cycle. The developer to tester ratio is almost 1:1 in every standard organization and this number will higher as per the project implementation criticalness.

S/W testing has a good scope in India. If said correctly Testing is the only field whose full lifecycle is executed in India. Leave aside development or Designing. So the conclusion is that you'll be doing what any other tester is doing somewhere in the world.

Certification will help you to get an interview call for sure. It is mainly applicable for freshers but if you are experienced then it does not matter much.

Thanks
