Hmmmm... Would a stronger Indo-Greek Kingdom qualify? They were quite successful in expanding into India and mixing both cultures until their territories became dispersed thanks to civil war.
After a bit of research I think King Menander I Soter seems like a good candidate to consolidate the Hellenistic states in India and achieve a greater expansion as long as you have him dying much later and with a strong and consolidated succession to avoid civil war. If civil war (save for a few revolts) can be avoided and with a reasonably competent dynastic in place you could see the Kingdom become the dominant force. Unlike Bactria they probably won't have to contend with the Scythians and the Yuezhi, and I don't see the Parthians invading.
