  We present the design and performance of the GROWTH-India telescope, a 0.7 m
robotic telescope dedicated to time-domain astronomy. The telescope is equipped
with a 4k back-illuminated camera giving a 0.82-degree field of view and
sensitivity of m_g ~20.5 in 5-min exposures. Custom software handles
observatory operations: attaining high on-sky observing efficiencies (>~ 80%)
and allowing rapid response to targets of opportunity. The data processing
pipelines are capable of performing PSF photometry as well as image subtraction
for transient searches. We also present an overview of the GROWTH-India
telescope's contributions to the studies of Gamma-ray Bursts, the
electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave sources, supernovae, novae
and solar system objects.
