I am planning to buy myself a Pixel 3a from BestBuy, USA. It is costing 199 USD + Tax for an unlocked version with activate today option.
Will it work in india on any sim? Did anybody has similar experience?

You should avoid.
4G bands are different in USA and India.
Moverover, we are mostly on VoLTE now, Not sure if US phones work with VoLTE.

VoLTE works fine (even with some carrier locked phones) but the problem is with the network bands
While some true unlocked phones like Essential Phone had all 4G bands some unlocked phones lacked Band 40/41, so you need to check the supported bands before making the purchase decision

Insert sim – your sim gets locked to Sprint AFAIK
