What do you want to know, there's so much to SAP and alot of it is Industry specific. There's specific modules for Manufacturing, Banking, Aerospace, Auto, etc. SAP is a full functioned ERP system for running medium to large businesses. There's was a smaller version pushed a few years ago directed to small business but I haven't heard much about it as of late.
It runs on multiple platform operating systems (I'm familiar with UNIX) and multiple databases like Oracle, Informix (I'm familiar with Informix). It can be fully customized to fit the particular business/company. I could provide more specific answers if you could narrow you question.

SAP is a German based software provider that specialises in industry specific Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions.

SAP solutions have been categorised in to modules. For example SD module for sales and distribution, FI/CO for finance and controlling and HR for human resource management.
Before you enroll for your SAP course, find out what each module involves and decide on what kind of work you'll be really interested in. Also decide on the level of certification that would give you the best return on investment.
Decide whether you want to make SAP your career for life or use SAP as an aid to go up your career ladder in the business world.
If you want to make a career out of it you will have to decide which level of certification you are ready to enter at. Consultant level certification is the highest level. However unless you have years of experience in your chosen industry, you would have to start off slightly lower in the hierarchy and work your way up.
To be a "user" of SAP or you don't require a certificate but being an SAP certified user would help you in getting a job in almost any industry these days. User level certification costs a lot less and could help you as starting point and a stepping stone to higher levels of SAP in future. If you still think you like it "at that time!"

I know this is not going to make it as best answer, because I am not an SAP expert, however my husband is. He does very, very well. He is independent and does not work for a company, meaning there staffing companies that call him to see if he wants to take a project and he decides based on the money and the travel. He travels a lot. He says, that you have to be well versed in other software knowledge these days to be ahead of the curve. You will not make money in India. The companies here, who are outsourcing are doing it because they get services cheaper going through India. You should think about relocating.
