moneycontrol is India's leading financial and business portal who does short (roughly 4 minute) Stock of the Day video pitches about Indian stock picks.
Indian stocks featured in their June Stock of the Day videos (from newest to oldest) and covered in this post include:

I have not heard of most of these Indian stocks (which fall into a variety of industries) and many do have elevated trailing or forward P/Es when compared to Chinese, East or SE Asian stocks. But India also has many local retail and institutional investors - meaning Indian stocks rarely trade at a discount.
To make your life easier, this post includes:
A quick description of the stock pick with links to the IR page and stock quote(s) on Yahoo! Finance.
A link to any Wikipedia page (for what it might be worth…)
The title of the moneycontrol Stock of the Day and their summary of what makes the stock pick interesting.
The embedded video (again, they are usually 4 minutes long).
