Whenever my parents visit US, they often find themselves linking some things that will not work in India due to the diff in power requirements etc.
So I always take them to Kumud Electronics and they try to find the appropriate version of that item that will work in India. Otherwise they try to get an appropriate adapter so that the same thing can be used in India. This store is well known in Asian community for this purpose.
It not cheap, but it gets the work done.
