- As per US law, you cannot work or find work there on a tourist visa, and hence if you caught violating travel status, you may be detained at Immigration Detention

- However, as you want to continue online your consultation work in US through your personal website , then it will not violate the rule of US. 

- However , you cannot search online clients in US i.e. work remotely also not allowed in US.

As you will be having a business visa you can continue online work. Moreover the clients would be from India and hence there would be no problem.
