Almost, but not quite. The name Indium was given because of the strong blue line in the emission spectrum. And was named after indigo, the blue clothing dye which originated in India. So that is the 'India' link.
The metal Indium was identified in 1863 by German scientists Reich and Richter, who were investigating some ores.
Indium has a long nucleosysnthesis pathway, thought to take thousands of years inside a star not too different in size from our Sun. In which an 109Ag (silver) captures a neutron, and then through a series of nuclear capture and emission steps, passes through 115In (Indium) to terminate (through another set of steps) as 121Sb (Antimony).
It is commonly found associated with the ores of Zinc but is also recovered from the production of other metals such as lead and copper.
