My Plan A is return to India, I am already naturalised UK citizen, my plan B is to do contract in EU (short to mid term) while based in India. I will not return to UK after 31st Mar to live, may be for work only for contract period.
    You asked how you can work in the EU. Ireland is in the EU. As a British citizen, you have the right to live and work in Ireland without a visa.

    After 5 years you can get Irish citizenship and then live and work in any EEA country, but that part of the plan won't work if you are based in India.

    I do not plan for Estonian e-residency currently. In future if I get a remote contract (while physically based in India) and if client agrees to bill via an Estonian registered company I might choose that option.

    I know two guys who are naturalized UK citizen and returned to India for children education and doing remote contract...

    E-residency in Estonia is same thing as in this country: anybody can register an Ltd for 30 quid, that means exactly jack tulip insofar residence is concerned.

    Benefits and limitations of e-residency
    ----------------------------------------------
    E-residents will have their financial footprint monitored digitally, in a manner stated to be transparent; the reaction to the widespread financial misbehaviour at high level revealed by the Panama Papers leak was suggested to be a factor helping the more transparent Estonian initiative according to Korjus. E-residency itself does not have an effect on income taxation — neither does it establish an income tax liability in Estonia nor does it relieve from income taxation in the resident's home country.[5]

    E-residency allows company registration, document signing, encrypted-document exchange, online banking, tax declaration, and fulfilment of medical prescriptions. Other services become available as the scheme is expanded.[6] A digital ID smart card issued by the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board in Estonia or at an embassy is used for access to services.[7]

    Korjus said that registering an Estonian business was "useful for internet entrepreneurs in emerging markets who don’t have access to an online payment provider", and for startups from countries such as Ukraine or Belarus which suffer financial limitations from their governments.[5]

    E-residency is not related to citizenship and does not give the right to physically enter or reside in Estonia.[7]

    1. Decide what country you want to work in
    2. Find someone advertising a job there
    3. Apply for a working visa for that country
    4. Get in line for that job behind EU citizens

    If all the above happens, then you're in!
