Aside from the acronyms mentioned by warbux and domainerin, one other option is to use it as a domain hack for "It's in" (ie focusing on what's popular, what's in fashion, what's new etc). Or use it as a domain hack for "It's India." Obviously, you'd have to think of ways to monetise such a site or business.

Am I right?
There are exceptions. For example, if the generic word obtains a secondary meaning. See:

Tradmark and Domains

Note that well-known marks get extra protection. For more info, see:

MSN Awarded to Microsoft

I don't know if ITS is a trademark in India or if there's a company that brands under the term ITS. To be on the safe side, I advise you do some research and don't park the domain.
