The first Indian MLA (Member of Legislative Assembly) was Sir S. Ramasamy, who was elected in 1920 to the Madras Legislative Council, a precursor to the modern state legislative assemblies. However, if you are looking for Indian representation in legislative assemblies specifically introduced under various reforms throughout British India, you might also refer to the first elected representatives under the Government of India Act 1919, which allowed for partial elections. The political landscape varied across different regions and periods, so context can change the answer slightly. If you have a specific region or period in mind, let me know!
