Lots of people are making or trying to make OT fonts. The user community for Microsoft's VOLT tool now numbers almost 2,500 people, many of them Indic and Arabic developers. I'm not sure what percentage of these are professional type designers and font developers. There seem to be a lot of enthusiastic but not very experienced amateurs keen to increase the number of fonts supporting their native scripts, but I'm afraid most of the products I have seen are not very good. What are you looking for? Someone to help you make an OT font? Someone to make an OT font from your existing designs? If you are not already a member of the VOLT community, you should join and ask your question there. There are developers, both professional and amateur, working on Devanagari and Bengali fonts, and probably on other Indian scripts. See http://www.microsoft.com/typography/developers/volt/default.htm for more information.
