Indus valley civilization marked the inception of Indian Pottery.
Its origin can be traced back to the Neolithic Age, which is a fine proof of hand made and wheel made pottery.
The credit for the innovation of wheel made pottery is heralded by Mohanjodaro & Harrapan cultures.

Ivc time 2350 to 1750. So how is it possible to have developed pottery by 3500?

The correct answer is: 2600 BC.
Explanation:
The Indus Valley Civilisation (Harappan Civilisation) flourished roughly between 2600 BCE and 1900 BCE.
Pottery, including wheel-made and painted pottery, became prominent during this mature phase of the civilisation.
5000 BC and 6000 BC are too early; they belong to the Neolithic period in general.
3500 BC corresponds more to the early Harappan phase, when pottery was simpler and less standardised.
So, 2600 BC is when mature Indus Valley pottery was developed.
