It depends, of course, on which US time zone the server is in and which Indian time zone you're in, but the basic code to do the conversion is as follows:

DateTime dt = DateTime.UtcNow;
TimeZoneInfo usEasternZone = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("US Eastern Standard Time"); // say
TimeZoneInfo indianZone = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("India Standard Time"); // say
DateTime usEasternTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(dt, usEasternZone);
DateTime indianTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(dt, indianZone);
TimeSpan timeDiff = indianTime - usEasternTime;
usEasternTime = new DateTime(2011, 12, 2); // or whatever the datetime to convert is
Console.WriteLine("US Eastern Time {0}", usEasternTime);
indianTime = usEasternTime + timeDiff;
Console.WriteLine("India Time Zone {0}", indianTime);
