Axis Atlas Credit Card

Axis's mainstream travel-miles card and the natural successor to the now-discontinued Vistara co-brand cards — solid accelerated miles on travel bookings and tiered lounge/milestone benefits, though the forex markup (3.5%) is not particularly competitive for a travel-focused card.
