Do not try to use an adapter.
Buy a new PSU power cable which has an Indian plug on the end of it.
Most computer shops in India should sell them, or Amazon India have a selection (I just checked):

Anybody and everybody that has pc parts will have the psu power cables, for that region. Many regions can use different plugs, which is why a lot of psus over there do not come with the right one, or come with none at all. There's no 'Standard' plug, like there is in places like the US.

Just go to the store and buy an Indian kettle plug (C13) cable.

If you "need" a surge protector, sure.

But that one doesn't seem particularly good.

Red flags: No joules rating for surge protection. LED only indicates on or off and not whether it's still capable or protecting.

Think about the price. Those strips are never really 'safe' they are nothing but 3 little strips of metal sitting in a plastic shell, one strip having a fuse/breaker attached. They are made as cheaply as possible and easily overloaded.

If you fall of a motorcycle and get run over by a truck, how much did wearing a helmet save you. That's what those strips are like, possibly save the pc if the house gets directly struck by lightning, but for anything else, absolutely worthless.

Just buy the correct cable

Or you can just do what you are supposed to do and buy a proper power cord.
