Telugu, being a Dravidian language, might have a different appearance from the North Indian languages. However, I've looked at a Telugu site and most of the surnames mentioned there have a familiar appearance; Kumar, Rao, Reddy, etc.
There is a (Sanskrit?) word, Pushpaka, that seems to have a place in Indian mythology. I don't know though if it is found as a name. It may be related to the female personal name Pushpa, "flower-like or blossom-like" (Dictionary of Sanskrit Names).
As for Achsah; if it is an Indian name perhaps it is another version of Akshaya, "everlasting one" (same source).
A great deal of speculation here and no answer. Sorry!
