Did you know that India has the smallest economy out of all the G4 members? (Germany, Japan, India and Brazil).
So why would India get it first?
dude, if economy was the criteria than no country except US deserved to be UNSC (before year 2010), when economies of Germany, Japan were more than Russia, China, UK, France.
ok let's compare:
Brazil - emerging economy, 6th largest economy (CIA world fact book), 7th largest in PPP terms, 5th largest in landmass, 10th largest military budget, no nuclear power, no missile power, no space power, not having a credible navy, air force or even army.
germany - once a great power, 9th largest military budget, 4th largest economy, no nuclear power, no missile power, no space power, no credible military, depends on NATO, highest economy of Europe.
Japan - 3rd largest economy, 6th largest military budget, no space power, no military power, no missile power, depends on US for security, enjoys US nuclear cover.
India - 9th largest economy, 3rd largest in terms of PPP, second largest population, 8th highest military budget, 4th most capable armed forces (

In GFP rankings only Japan & India are in top 10 not Germany & Brazil, also Japan is at 9th place whereas India is on 4th.
from above data, who else do you think deserves the place first?
