[Inpycon] Help with Venue for PyCon India

[Gora Mohanty]

Dear Akshay,

I am afraid that the person my uncle knew is no longer at IIT-Delhi. He is
trying to see if he knows anyone else, and I am also looking up Mr. Wagesh
Shukla who used to be at IIT-Delhi (retired now), and used to be an
open-source proponent.

Regards,
Gora
