I haven't been to Kolkata, just Hyderabad, but I would think that the visa requirements would rule out India. Nearly everyone needs a visa, and if the ICANN meeting experience was any guide, every Indian embassy and consulate makes its own arbitrary rules, e.g., some people had to provide fingerprints, some didn't, some needed a letter from the hotel, some didn't. ICANN offered a webinar explaining what they thought the process was, but that was only the Los Angeles consulate. The NY consulate process I had to use was quite different.
