Can I get a Japan-facing job from India while still learning Japanese?

I’m a Product Manager based in India with 5+ years of experience in SaaS, AI, and mobile apps. I’ve been job-hunting since last year, and in the meantime I’ve also been seriously learning Japanese (I take 5 day a week lessons and plan to give JLPT N5 this December).

I want to understand, is it realistic to start applying to Japan-based or Japan-facing roles now, or should I wait until I have N3/N2 level?

Also, are there companies (Japan-based or Indian startups with Japanese clients) that hire people who are actively learning Japanese, even if they aren’t fluent yet?

Any advice or leads would be super helpful. Thanks!
