Sorry for the late notice. Atul Chitnis, Linux/FOSS evangelist, a founder of foss.in, (amongst many other things) is in Pune this weekend. I believe he will have some free time tomorrow afternoon (Sunday, 29th March, around 3pm). So if there is enough interest in PLUG for a discussion and/or talk with him can be arranged (it will be at the usual place for PLUG meetings - 7th Floor, SICSR). Let me know - I'll set up something if I get enough responses.
He is also giving a "startup" oriented talk "The world is changing" tomorrow at 11am, in case anybody is interested.
