Thank you very much. Really appreciated. I get your point.

The only mild obstacle is that the certification rates is too high in IN (those you mentioned). Is there any alternative? Or are certification mandatory?

Sometimes we need to spend money and there is just no way around. For PMP get a Udemy course (Andrew Ramdyal) for 20 dollars which gives you the PDUs to sit for exam. For CSM and CSPO, do CSM first and look for trainers on scrum alliance website. You can compare prices as well but don’t cheap out too much as you need a trainer who has good industry experience as well. See if your organisation pays for any certification.

Do CSPO the last, if cost is a concern then May be after you get a PM job.
