As someone who has seen firsthand how much effort went into WikiConference India 2016, I will ask any communities planning for a Wikimania bid to first conduct a WikiConference India first. There is a massive effort required for conducting even a WCI size event, and the core organisers faced plenty of problems even then. And we always face shortage of organisers.
So if we are even considering making an expression of interest from India, please start preparing for WCI 2017 immediately; as well as start looking for a minimum number of organisers for both events. Other than that, I don't see any other problems with a Wikimania interest bid for now.
