Hi Siddhartha,
To get sidespin and backspin on the pendulum serve, you need to come underneath the ball. You'll naturally get some sidespin as well since you brush across the side of the ball.
Our video on the Pendulum Serve for our premium members covers this in detail.

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.
