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 

--- ubuntu-in.info ping statistics ---
20 packets transmitted, 20 received, 0% packet loss, time 277ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 220.697/222.979/232.011/2.754 ms, pipe 16, ipg/ewma 14.581/223.933 ms

--- google.com ping statistics ---
20 packets transmitted, 20 received, 0% packet loss, time 293ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 346.737/348.775/352.078/1.602 ms, pipe 20, ipg/ewma 15.461/348.747 ms
