I run Cryptbin.com, one of the sites on the banned list. As a result of the ban we have seen our traffic surge, with roughly a 1000% increase in traffic from India today alone.

Interesting to note is that we also own the domain cryptb.in (a TLD from India) and that has not been banned. However, it is merely a redirect so it does not provide an alternative entrance to the site. We use it only for short URL's on public pastes.

Perhaps you can use this thread to recruit an India-centric team and create a separate site at cryptb.in (not saying you have to but to quote Pirates: "if you were looking for the perfect moment... that was it")
Wouldn't even need a separate site - just update the redirect to point at the same load balancer as the main site instead, and then add a virtual host entry.
