Hi Pranav,
In India, it is extremely difficult to hairline separate who has done which event. -
Chapter, Community and WMF India Programs.
Let us take the case of the Trichy event, the request came to a community member
Rsrikanth to the chapter. Nitika was actively involved along with me and Naveen. The
chapter signed the MoU and supplied some goodies. Nitika was actively involved in coaching
Sohan, a chapter member and Rsrikanth. One must not also forget that both Hisham &
Nitika are also chapter members.

As I explained, it is difficult to separate the contributions of different entities or
individuals for the Wikimedia movement in India.
IMHO, we should be only concerned about the outcomes of the event and not who gets the
credit.
I agree with Tinu. It's really hard to put a rigid structure to this. The
illustration of the Trichy event (see above) of everyone pitching in - is not unique at
all. In fact, it's probably always the case, in some degree or the other. The need
of the hour (and I daresay, the near-distant future) is flexibility and agility.
