Polistes olivaceus
Its a wasp also known as the common yellow wasp of India. The typical upside down umbrella nests are noticed on walls and trees around. They generally don't sting unless disturbed.
Nests found on walls and trees mostly. Sometimes fly into home even at night attracted to light bulbs.
I also noticed that although they are generally non-aggressive, they can be provoked into defending their nests.
