And my question Mayur (as a fencesitter for this

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.
