Howard Rheingold, author of Smart Mobs - The Next Social Revolution is visiting India -  he's going to be speaking at Doors of Perception in Bangalore in March 2005.   

"I make a little money writing, and most of what pays my bills comes from speaking engagements. Sometimes, I do keynotes or panels, and sometimes organizations bring me in to brainstorm with them about smartmobby stuff in addition to a briefing or talk. I've been invited to speak in Bangalore in March, 2005. The inviting organization can pay my transportation costs, but not a fee. I'd like to spend at least a week in India, a country I've always wanted to visit, but have never had the opportunity. But I can't afford to lose a week or more of work. Are there organizations or businesses in Bangalore who would be able to pay me less than my usual speaking fee -- and no travel expenses -- to brief their people about Smart Mobs and my latest endeavor -- The Cooperation Project?" [posted by Howard here].

Am thinking along the lines of approaching MTV India, Reliance Infocomm, The Times of India group, CNBC Asia. And hoping to swing something for him so that he can visit Mumbai too !  Any suggestions or leads ?
