What exactly do you plan to achieve in the 100ms that you'll shave off?
Peering between ISPs in India still leaves a lot to be desired. So if you get
a server co-located/hosted at a particular ISPs data center. You'll have low
latency only if you are customer of that ISP. Customers of other ISPs may
have to make a round the world trip to get to the server.
Latency isn't that big an issue considering we get ping times of ~250ms to
europe and ~300ms to the US these days.
FWIW ubuntu-in.info has a lower latency than google.com
