I am with X company in L1B from 2010 to 2013 Aug 5th (in this duration I am in USA for 2 year 2 months) rest of the time I am in india. 

once I went back to India in Aug 5th 2013, I applied for H1B in 2014 quota, it got picked and came to USA on 2nd Jan 2015 and currently in USA with H1B.

My question is, most of the folks told that my duration is reset and it will be 6yrs. only one person told me that it will be L1B visa stay + H1B stay even though I am in India for 18mnths from 2013 Aug to 2014 Dec. Please update me.

Your clock did not get reset. You applied in quota before your 1 year cooling period. Date of entry does not matter.
