I am trying to search for a version of R studio that can be run on 32 bit Windows but I am unable to find one. Can someone please help? It would be really helpful if you drop link of website as well.

The last official stable version was 1.1.463, as also mentioned in the comments.
The removal of Windows 32-bit support only happened mid-way through the 1.2 development cycle though. And so if you feel daring (or I don't know what other feature you might want) you can try build 736 too.
A couple of notes: if you use anything that relies on pandoc, please manually upgrade its executable in the RStudio installation folder (even because it's not like the built-in one will work anyway).
Also, while technically the last supported 32-bit R version is 4.1.3, some features may not be available in the old RStudio release (or if not any I know the graphics engine version is too new to mix seamlessly with the IDE). Therefore you could be interested to 4.0.5 instead.
Last but not least, I'd recommend to install Rtools (caveat emptor), since a number of packages are going to give a far better time if compiled from source.
