I did exactly that 12 years back in New Jersey DMV. The lady at the counter gave me a long look and said "We know how you guys get DL or IDL in India". In other words, it didn't help me even a bit...
When you give your driving test, don't try to show off or even talk about your Indian experience. Take US driving classes from a professional instructor and follow what they say in the driving test, don't try your Indian driving instincts until you get your license. I have seen way too many experienced (Indian) drivers flunking the driving test.
