Ans: Whether to do an MBA primarily depends on your interest and kind of job you have. If he needs to progress then the two good options available with him are doing MS abroad or doing MBA from India or abroad. If he is not sure he can write both GRE/GMAT and CAT and then decide based on where he gets a better option.
