I have never heard of a thing called “Indian Standard English”, nor (as an Australian who has moved to India) does it sound a very realistic concept. Can’t find any search results for it as a phrase, either.

Sometimes used as a term in linguistics.
Put it in quotes: "Indian Standard English" and you will see plenty of results.

It doesn't mean a written standard exists.
Maybe it's called Standard Indian English or just Indian English in other contexts; I'm only using a term I've seen used.
For comparison: <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22indian+standard+english%22>, exactly zero results.
OK
