Do you know any exchange that accepts funding using wise.com ? Formerly known as TransferWise?
Or any exchange on which a normal credit card works? I'm from India, I've been looking and looking but nothing works!

I think that's where the issue is. India is not, as you certainly must be well aware, friendly to bitcoin exchanges.
Here's a fairly comprehensive list of LN-enabled bitcoin exchanges:
Exchanges with support for Lightning Network

And in that list, the only ones I'm aware of that support fiat payments from customers from India are the P2P exchanges.
Paxful is a P2P exchange that has LN support (1% fee on withdrawal via LN), and has Wise as a payment method. Looking at the order book, there seems to be plenty of sellers:

There's also Robosats, but they are new and not so many sellers yet. In looking just now I only saw one seller that accepted Wise, and the amount was for between $100 to 300 EUR worth of bitcoin, at a 7% premium:
https://unsafe.robosats.com/order/4204
That link is OK for just looking at the order, but for actual trading use Robosats only through their onion address using a Tor-enabled browser.

Paxful offers lightning, sure right?
I checked it, and sure lots of Wise/TransferWise offers, but the Wise.com website says this

The transfer fees is ok, but the delivery is 4 days from now, that's not ok.Has anyone any experience with Wise.com / TransferWise, does it do the transfer instantly or take 4 days?
