Some should do fine. I've read that 100-200 million Indians are fluent in English, with maybe 350 who can speak "Hingish" (slang for a combination of Hindi and English). Hindi would be a better pick, but English isn't bad, with certain words more likely to be typed in English than others (porn, sex, cricket, etc.). There are also other significant languages spoken in India, with 25-75 million speakers, like Urdu, Punjabi, Tamil, and Bangladeshi, and over a dozen other less-popular but still "official" languages.
