I think that local domains make sense if that is where your market is. So, I'd go with asdf.in - assuming that you are truly trying to build a significant web presence in India and are including a lot of unique India related content. That's the real value of ccTLDs - they tell locals that this website is made specially for them.

Also, from an SEO point of view, Google tends to rank ccTLDs higher in the relevant country - for instance, Indian domains tend to rank higher in Google.co.in.
