Do you feel my social skills isn't that good when talking to many Indian women? What do you feel?

So as you all know I socialize in Central areas of our city Bangalore in India. I talk to both foreign women and also Indian women in the cosmopolitan areas especially in Cafes, Bookstores, mall courtyards, Church Street stretch etc but I noticed that I am unable to have a good two-way interaction with many Indian women I initiate. Like I am 25 and i approach Indian women in their 20s especially in Church Street but the interactions are brief and plenty of times one-sided. Yeah many do smile when I wave and especially say that I am just saying Hi to new people but we don't have much two-sided interactions. Like yesterday i approached this woman who is a working professional in this bookstore so about 22-25 and it was going okay but it was mostly me asking her questions like whether she is studying or working, me saying I just completed my MBA, asking names etc but she was just giving a polite smile but mostly answering "Okay". Similarly I tried talking to another woman too in another bookstore who is a fresh college graduate so about 21-22 and we talked and I tried to make it relatable as I am also done with MBA but it was still kinda one sided which made it harder to ask her more questions.

I talked with this woman in the metro too who was sitting next to me and she is working and a recent engineering graduate so about 22-23 too but yeah it was a decent interaction but still not very two sided. I also said her sorry 3-4 times even though she reassured everything is fine. Yeah I say sorry more to Indian women in conversations for some reason. But yeah plenty of interactions have been more one-sided and the women are more reserved, not asking much about me which makes me run out of topic faster so most interactions are limited to Hello, asking whether she is working or studying and introducing myself and have a great day. I am not saying expat women are the best. There are obviously even foreign women who are reserved too and not in mood to socialize but when I have conversation with one who is comfortable enough and open to talking, it goes really well like this Swedish woman i met yesterday or even the German women i talked to. Obviously i also have more topics to talk to like about her country, city, food, how she is finding Bangalore and she too asks me more about myself but so far many Indian women just ask me which University I did my MBA and also lots of laughter in some of the interactions.

There are still some exceptions of course like this beautiful Indian woman in Starbucks of Trinity circle who also did her MBA and she is technically 3 years my senior in MBA years so yeah she is about 27-28 now and we had a much better and engaging interaction and that's the type of interaction I wish many Indian women did with me. Similarly I had a good conversation with this fresh college graduate who is working as a Marketing professional in this Cafe too who is 21-22 as well. Also some Indian women in Cafes of Koramangala area offering me to sit at their table when I talked but yeah many are usually still more one sided interactions. Idk whether I lack the social skills to talk to them. I also run out of topics often. As my MBA campus life is over, I am unable to meet Indian women organically and I want to have connection with them too along with foreign women but it's been hard. I am getting ghosted on Instagram dms too even after having decent chats with some mostly because I am a stranger i guess. So yeah I want to get to know them as well and want connection but it's been really harder. What do you feel?

I like that you are friendly and approach women with confidence and a purpose. It seems most of your conversations are a bit superficial though, almost like you are just trying to drive up the numbers of people you talk to. I would like to see more substantive conversations where you get to know the other person, and they get a better sense of who you are. In general, you have solid social skills and that will be a benefit in the working world (if you ever apply yourself and direct your attention to gaining employment).
