The average age is about 1 year, although some species can reach up to 2 years of age due to slower growth rates than normal.
Indian Stick Insects, like all stick insect species are herbivores. An Indian Stick Insect will not attack or eat another stick insect. The closest they get is eating old skins from a moulting to take in all the nutrients.

The stick insect is probably still "drying out". The new skin stays soft for quite a while after shedding so the stick insect will often stay very still until its new skin has hardened.
Old Before I Die was created in 2001.
It is not unusual for a stick insect to lose a leg in a moult. Some skin sheds, for various reasons, can go wrong and often the old skin can dry over several legs which can cause the stick insect to eject the tangled legs. To keep any incidents like this to a minimum, be sure to lightly spray inside the enclosure with water every day and make sure the enclosure is at least three times as tall as your stick insect - as many stick insects prefer to shed their skin while hanging vertically from a high leaf or branch. A stick insect can survive quite happily with at least three legs until the other legs grow back in future moults.
You could die at any age.
