And my question Mayur (as a fencesitter for this entire conversation is), whether the approach has been right, tone has been right and the discussion has been right?
The India chapter just started operations a few months back, isn't it prudent for all to wait and see how it is evolving before opening up chapters all over. A non-starter is as good as not having one. With as much respect to all who is behind the initiative for a Delhi chapter, I honestly think you should give reasonable time to the India Chapter and the Foundation office being setup in Delhi to mature before embarking on having more chapter offices in India.
