At 3:03 of this [video]. I've been trying but I either make it too obvious or roll the ball into the net.

Hi Ankur,

This is a fast reverse pendulum serve.  Try to hit the ball closer to you on your side and hit it quite fast and flat.

The Float Serve

The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.
