---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Zander Furnas <zfur...@sunlightfoundation.com> Subject: Looking for contacts involved with public procurement transparency in India To: Thejesh GN <i...@thejeshgn.com> Hi Thej, We met at TransparencyCamp earlier this year. As you might remember I am working on a set of case studies<http://sunlightfoundation.com/casestudies/>looking at the impacts of technology enabled transparency policies around the world. When we spoke the work was in a very preliminary and conceptual stage. Since then we settled on a course of study, and have been working on cases. We decided to do a first set of four case studies on procurement transparency/disclosure and e-procurement systems. Our first case was the Slovak Republic, which we published a few weeks ago here<http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2013/08/12/case-study-public-procurement-in-the-slovak-republic/>. One of the cases that we would like to do is State level procurement in Tamil Nadu, since as far as I have found it is one of two Indian states with a procurement transparency law. I am trying to do a bunch of interviews with journalists, civic hackers, ngos, government officials or business people who work with procurement data, engage in procurement oversight or are in some other way connected to public procurement and corruption. I was hoping that you might have some suggestions as to who I could reach out to? National level players in this space are useful too, as they may be able to suggest local actors. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
