Can a website with an indian domain extension (.IN) rank well in US
Nope. Getting ranked as a .in website in the US would be very hard because you can bet your sweet pie that domain extensions (ccTLDs, especially) have a role to play in your SEO.

According to many tests, the definitive conclusion is that using a ccTLD does affect your SEO in a way that makes it target users from specified countries.

The most common use case for ccTLDs is to "internationalize" website content, and using a ccTLD is the strongest signal you can send a search engine that your content focuses on a specific country.

Either way, if you want to purchase either of the two domains, I suggest using Nominus since they offer both and they’re great (IMO). You can find their respective domains here:
