Very plausible setting - Chennai. What with investments in IT, ITES, the development of IT corridor, an increasingly diverse population, and a small but very active gaming community and a whole generation of school children spending all their parents' disposable incomes at gaming places, gold-farming *might *actually be happening in Chennai. And, I could try and get you meeting a few people. A friend is a game developer and entrepreneur and would definitely have the kind of contacts you are looking at. My father was, till recently, working at the Madras Export Processing Zone, an SEZ. I could ask him to help as well.
