So you can apply for USA AmEX cards without an ITIN but you need it for others. You need to file a small income return to get ITIN, there are several services that automate this.
My research (& friends) has led me to these 2 sites:
https://ein-itin.com/product/itin-application/ - $245.00 + rs 1829 for mailing docs
https://frugalflyer.ca/itin/ - $140 CAD + 50$ for certified copy + Rs 1829 International Speed Post with document by Indian Post so effectively it comes down to 15000rs/$184
you can save that 140 CAD by filling the forms yourself but it would be very time consuming and may not work.
2nd service is cheaper but I need to have CTC of my passport, so I went to my local embassy satellite (VFS Global), they sent me to this website ustraveldocs.com, so I have mailed them several times but got "your email is blank" lol. So probably they don't know what I am asking them?
the 245 will do everything digitally as they provide a person that will represent me. Any experience / views regarding this?
