Seems good if remote. If you’re required to relocate to a metro city you may want to get your base pay negotiated.
Basically both me and the offer are out of Delhi only.
What should I ask for?

Ask for more base or either more equity.. Check glassdoor/levels for more info on how much they can go upto for your role
How retention bonus can be given in first month. It should be given after one year. If it will be given in first month then it will be joining bonus
The founder said that, he can give me at the start and if I leave before a year, then I need to return the respective amount of money.
What is the total funding so far and latest valuation? ESOP is mainly function of these two parameters
If startup is still bootstrapped with zero funding, then this is good ESOP. You can just negotiate to 2 LPA if you want.

If you have done or doing internship in this company then you should definitely negotiate for more.
In that case, you should negotiate for at least 15 LPA as base plus 1 lakh retention/ joining bonus

Esops turning from paper money to real money probabilities are super slim (<1%).
That being said if you believe in your chance, there is still need to see how much this 1 lakh can turn into. You need to know current valuation of startup(last fund raise) and see what multiple Nx times it can grow.
Ex: 1lakh esops at a unicorn stage will not give you more than 4-5x since most tech companies list at 4-5bn and in most cases below.
While 1 lakh esops from a seed stage valued at 10M can have upto 100x multiple possibility.
Also not most employees spend less than 4 years in a startup for various reason. You may only be able to vest like 50% of 1 lakh.
What's the startup valuation from last fundraise? Only that info can give possible multiples that can grow/be worth when you cash out.
Can you suggest me on how to negotiate?
A bit of myself. I am a final year student graduating this year. I have 3 years of overall experience, and 1.6 years of experience in product, all as an intern.
Would be great, if you can frame something for me, as I am new to this.
