By design, I understand you to be referring to an ornamental design. I would recommend filing the design in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, being careful to include good drawings. Please also be careful to check if the Indian patent application was published before the grant. This would start the one year time period running. If the Indian application was done to standard, and cost is an issue, you could try to file it yourself and that is likely to be better than not filing. However, it is always better to get professional help to make a filing.
