Indian English-speakers have an Indian accent: most have Hindi or another Indian language as their first language, and it's often a person's first language which influences the accent of their second.

There are also of course English-born people of Indian descent who speak the English of the area they grew up in such as London or Bradford, and in latter years emigrants to the US who speak with an American accent.
