(Apologies for the top post - gmail for mobile is well - in evolution) I recommend the audio version, it is really well made. Btw, I haven't seen a mention of Mysore - it's a great small town not too far from Bangalore. To echo biju's thoughts - locating the story in an SEZ would cause credibility issues - I'd expect any business that's not very legal will want to stay away from regulation. SEZs are more monitored than most businesses. No one would mind a gold farming operation in someone's attic, it is far better work than assembling matches or rolling ink on cloth.
Btw, my ex-employer used to (maybe still does) run a support center for second life in Mysore. Gamers stuck in SL used to call in for help or some such. I am not familiar with the details of the operation, but apparently the employees who supported the operation had a lot of fun. It was all very legal, and employed people who would otherwise have difficulty finding a similarly comfortable job. I think exploring the experiences of someone who's never used a computer becoming an expert in SL or similar is worth writing about.
