I have a connecting flight at CDG, do I need a visa?

Yes.
As per https://wwws.airfrance.in/information/meilleures-offres/travelrestrictions
As of April 27, 2021, The French authorities have implemented new travel requirements. Passengers holding Indian passports must be in possession of a valid Airport Transit Visa (ATV) to transit via France for final destination outside the Schengen Area.

NOTE: This answer may not apply anymore when T1 actually reopens by the end of the year
There are no air-side Non Schengen-Non Schengen (i.e. not passing through immigration) transfer facilities from/to CDG's Terminal 1 (and also T3) (only between 2E-F-G) (at least not until 2040). Your luggage may be transferred depending if you're on a single ticket.
This means you will need to pass passport control and hold a Schengen short-stay C-Visa and NOT an Airport Transit Visa (like is stated in @hojusaram answer, but this only applied to airside transfers, which a transit to/from T1/T3 isn't)
Once through passport control, and on the arrival floor, follow the signs, take the elevators down to the bas*m*nt and take the rail shuttle CDGVAL 
to Terminal 2 station
Travel time : 8 minutes
Once arrived at the Terminal 2 station, follow the signs, walk a bit through to T2E, pass security, passport control and board as usual

If your flights are on separate tickets: you will need a full type C Schengen visa.
If your flights are on the same ticket and you can do airside transit:
- If you have a valid visa or permanent resident card from the US, an EU country, Canada or Japan (and a few others): no visa required.
- Otherwise: an airport transit visa (ATV) is required.
At this time, there is no possibility to do airside transit between T1 and T2, but that's probably just because T1 is closed. I would expect an airside shuttle between T1 and T2 to resume once T1 reopens, though the exact route may be complex (before it shut down, you had to take one shuttle from T1 to T2A and then another shuttle to T2E).
