TLDR : Answer Summary
An Indian passport holder seeking a Non-Immigrant Business Visa to Thailand must first apply for the visa from India. The prospective employer in Thailand needs to secure a work permit approval prior to the applicant's arrival. The application for the visa can be done through a Thai Royal Embassy in India, and typically takes about a week via VFS. If the visa is sought for business activities such as meetings or contract signings, a short-term work permit may also be applicable.

Same requirement. Sorry if you don't like it. Your employer can apply for a 15-day work permit to expedite the process.

Your prospective employer will need to apply for your work permit approval prior to your arrival. You will then need to apply for a non-B visa from a Thai Royal Embassy in India. I believe there is a requirement for a bond that is posted into your passport when you get the visa. It takes about a week to get the non-B visa in India, and you must apply through VFS.

As an Indian national, you would have to get your initial Non-B from India.
