Hi! I am the one who sent the pic.
This was in our home in Trivandrum, in the state of Kerala in South India.

Abin did you capture it?

i'd put money on a huntsman from the body and legs.

Indian spider..I love Indian spiders! I'm going to start my search with huntsman, kormath is most likely correct. There's not many huge sp out there, and that baby looks huntsman like. @Abin Daya, its not dangerous, I can tell you that much for sure.
