Hi Viswa and Tito, Great to see this happening. Wikidata is one of the most potential Wikimedia projects, that can be made capable to develop regular Wikipedia articles.
Coming to WikiProject India on Wikidata, I'll work on this after the attending a workshop. I'll be attending the workshop in Pune. At this juncture, we can take inputs from WikiProject India on en Wiki. We can form a definite structure, and with continuos efforts we can mobilize the Wikidata community in India.
