Incorporating in the US would protect the VCs, not you, as they would be able to sue you in the US. Your organization would have to follow American labor laws, legal compliance and the US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Practices).
If you are sure that incorporating in the US is a good idea, it would probably be a good idea to incorporate in India for whatever needs you may have here. For example, with our firm, iPlace USA is an American company incorporated in Delaware (best state to incorporate in) and is primarily the sales engine for our Indian company, iPlace India, which focuses on delivery of services. Every thing else is done here and follows Indian labor laws, legal compliance and Indian GAAP, supported by the US company. NOTE: There are some intricacies to this relationship. The government of India sees the US firm as our customer and we can only earn money in the US at our Indian company. You should seek the advice of an experienced chartered accountant for more information on how to incorporate because the way it it set up has tremendous tax implications if done incorrectly.
Many American companies have a venture capital presence in India. Intel Capital, Google and many other companies and VCs have been evaluating the opportunities here in India and have made significant investments over the past ten years I've been here. 500 Startups is a good place to start. Pankaj Jain runs the program I think. Connect with him on Linkedin. He may be of some help. Good luck!
