Advice on US Investing for Indians

Hi, Can someone please guide any useful resources that discusses in depth on the various options available in India to invest in US Stocks - GIFT IFSC NSE Option, BSE India INX, Vested, Ind Money or Groww?

Primarily I am stuck on deciding between BSE India INX or Vested/Ind Money ? My main goal is to buy and hold US stocks/ETF for more than 10 years for diversification. I am concerned about safety of the securities with Vested or Ind Money in the long run. If these firm go bankrupt or if drive wealth goes bankrupt, what option would retail investors have? Is it safer if I go with BSE India NIX? With GIFT IFSC NSE Option, I feel the charges would end up high since there are a lot of layers and there also I don’t own shares of US Stocks so that makes me a bit uncomfortable. Can someone who has already been doing this for a substantial amount of time guide in this regard?

Are Interactive brokers, Ameritrade safer and if yes, how much more expensive are they compared to other options? TIA !
