Chennai may be a bit cheaper. I am sure we can knockdown the costs too.

Unless we get larger commercial interests involved, you can't dream of such
budgets. My suggestion is look at something in between. IISC was a good
brand name, can't you guys get IIT Chennai? Anand B, its your old alma
mater, you may know some old professor there, and connect them to Kausik and
gang.

Note I am not against hotels, but who will go out and sell? Why should a
sponsor spend 5 L to sponsor the event? What will be the ROI for a sponsor?
