My background might qualify my opinion as I still hold the record for highest public .in domain sale, Poker.in for $60,000 in 2007. Part of the problem with .in is that outside of India, it's never really caught on, even as a domain hack extension like .me has. Inside India, the registration fees for .in are really cheap, and the vast majority of people there are poor by 1st world standards, so they'd much sooner register something vs. buy something. .co doesn't have that many more registrations than .in afaik and yet it's managed to have a number of public sales above $60,000 whereas .in just never caught on as a prized extension of any sort.
Despite my one big sale and using a domain hack myself (Doma.in), I don't really like the extension and think if it ever will have a bright future, it'll be many years away.
