Search for a step down converter. 220/240V to 110V.

Though laptops and phones run across 100-240V, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Replacement Part 922-9173 Macbook/Pro/Air US-CAN Power Adapter Extension Cord for APPLE: Amazon.in: Computers & Accessories

Above will work with macbook pro charger and he can charge iPhone through USB on macbook pro.

TARGUS WORLD TRAVEL ADAPTER/APK01AP-50 - Targus : Flipkart.com

Targus is cheaper but looks flimsy to me.

Better way will be to just visit Gaffar market (Delhi) and buy a simple conversion plus. I bought US to Indian plug for Rs 20 from there. I guess Indian to US may also be available there for around the same price.

US to Indian is easy to get here in India 🙂 I use them even in Indian power strips that have holes too large for stupid mobile and router chargers that do not fit in properly lol.

In case it matters, I have used this (not exactly this but this is a generic adapter) several times and it has worked well for HP laptops I have carried and phone chargers (iPhone and Xiaomi) in US and UK
