Hi Bhushan,

It is better to use your wrist to generate the spin which is difficult when the bat is horizontal.  Try to use your bat in a pendulum swinging motion to get the sidespin.  Take a look through the lessons on the Serving Secrets.

The Kicker Serve

The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.
