Her big accomplishment: deals that could bring American defense contractors and power companies billions of dollars in business in India. Her request that India set limits on their carbon emissions was rejected, almost laughingly. She invited the Prime Minister to make a state visit. That's about it, except for lots of talk about democracies, cordial relations, etc.
Obama and his handlers must be laughing out loud. Their little maneuver to control Clinton by holding her close in the administration is working out just fine. Obama is making an impact on all sort of world issues, and Clinton is running around issuing invitations for leaders to come visit Obama!
By the way, Clinton shot off her mouth again and may have caused diplomatic problems with North Korea. In an interview, she compared North Korea to a child seeking attention. The Obama team has warned Clinton before not to make statements outside the diplomatic standard verbiage (see here), but apparently she can't help herself.
