Indian company offers me a work in India without working visa, just a tourist visa only. Am I safe in this situation? Should I accept the offer?

The short and final answer is "NO" and that applies to most (if not all) countries all over the world, not just India.

This is their reason;
"As per the Indian laws we can not issue him an employment Visa due to the fact that the employee's salary must be in excess of US$25000 barring Cooks, Language teachers and staff for embassies:"

If the company can't conform to they shouldn't think of hiring a foreign national (expert) in the first place.
They are violating the law and you will become a party to that violation if you choose to work for them in India on a tourist visa.

If caught, punitive actions against you may range from monetary fine and deportation to a few years in jail.
Above all, in case of any professional exploitation and non-payment of salary etc. not even your embassy will come forward to your rescue.

There's a reason why the words "Employment is prohibited" are clearly mentioned on a country's tourist visa stamp. Indian tourist visa is no exception.

Look for other job opportunities with fair and legitimate offers.
