1. You can't marry 'online'
2. You either need to marry legally in India or apply for a fiance visa and marry in the UK
3. Have you met in person yet?
4. Have you been married before?
5. Do you earn at least £18,600 per year?

If you can answer these questions, it will then be easier to explain the next steps in applying for a spouse visa.

As Casa has already mentioned, you cannot marry "online" and the marriage needs to be recognized as legal by UK standards, you also need to have met in person. It will also be beneficial if you have lived together in a relationship akin to marriage. Get the first steps first and keep documents/receipts for gifts etc supporting your relationship.

Do it properly starting with meeting in person - short cuts are non exsistent

As you've already had confirmed, without meeting in person an application as a spouse or a fiance will NOT be accepted.

1. Even in an arranged marriage, the couple will have to meet before the wedding.
2. An online marriage is not legal under British law
3. The Home Office won't be interested in whether you and your intended wife find it inconvenient to travel. You have to comply with the Immigration Rules.

You have to understand that the Home Office will insist on evidence of a genuine relationship to ensure this isn't simply a negotiation between two families in order to obtain entry into the UK for the daughter.

In a nutshell , your plan as it stands stands zero chance of succeeding. :!:
