I have existing groups of type "Custom" that should have really been created with a different Group Type and would like to address this issue. Need to use the following APIs from GrouppService intefrace to change group type - changeGroupTypeOfGroup or changeGroupTypesOfGroups forum.appian.com/.../GroupService.html
Does anyone knows what is the existing plugin name / URL ?

Do we have any existing plugin to change Group Type? If yes, please provide the link to AppMarket page. And also let us know how to install the plugin.
I would suggest searching old posts - this question has been asked several times, including once within the past few days.
I did searched for old posts but couldn't find existing plugin. does that mean that we do not have it ? or am I missing anything ?
The consensus I could find through searching old posts when I wrote my previous reply, is that this functionality is currently not possible directly nor included in any existing plug-in, though someone at some point did point out the technology which could be used by someone to create a new plug-in to do this.
So basically it looks like you'd either need to create the plug-in from scratch (i'm afraid I'm not much help there), or find a different way of accomplishing your end goals.
You are unlikely to find a plug-in because frankly the group type isn't that important. The main reason to have a group type is to define attributes for groups, which is pretty rarely used. It's better practice to store information about groups in a database because it can then be queried the same way you get other data.
In general I'd suggest using custom groups, and unless you have a specific concern with a group that is the wrong type, I'd recommend not going through the effort to create a plug-in for this purpose.
