Take a look at the Asus Dash F15. Comes with 11th Gen i5 + RTX3060 at under 1 Lac. Should be ideal for your needs!

That's a pretty bad choice tbh since it has an anaemic 4core processor as well as a pretty low powered variant of the GPU. A far better choice in this price range would be the Acer Helios 300 with i7 10870H (8core16thread) and 100W RTX 3060.If your friend can stretch budget by about 20k more, the Asus G15 with Ryzen 7 (or Ryzen 9) 8c16t processor and 100W RTX 3060 will launch at around 1.38L in June. For the extra ~20k or so you get a 1440p 165Hz screen, much larger 90Wh battery, nicer build, higher portability and (subjectively) better aesthetics.
But whichever you go for, either will far outperform the TUF Dash F15 by leaps and bounds.

the TUF also has a pretty poor screen as well - 250nits and just 62.5% sRGB coverage compared to the Helios' 300nits 100% sRGB coverage (both 144hz tho). Forget doing video editing and colour correction, I won't enjoy watching content on such a terrible (for the price range) screen. My current 2yr old 70k laptop with a puny 1650 and 9750H has a better screen than the 1L TUF lol

Also I should add that I recently bought the Helios 300 variant from Flipkart a few days ago and I'm awaiting delivery, so maybe I'm a bit biased but after a thorough 2 weeks of research I concluded there's no better bang for buck in this price range, and for what it's worth my needs are the same as your friend's - gaming (mainly AAA and VR) and video editing, along with music production.
Bought this model specifically a few days ago at 1.11L (after some card cashback), though it was available for 1.07L about a week or so ago:

Zephrus G14 is also a good option, you could wait out for the new variants but who knows when they'll be in stock.

For your purposes and budget, I second this model, go for it. The Helios 300 pretty much meets all your needs. @Trickshot17

Yep, agreed with @Sammoka. I have shared a few impressions of this laptop so far on the RTX 3XXX thread here in case you are interested
Also some results with overclocking and undervolting are mentioned a bit later in the thread as well if that's something you might find useful
