A while back you were asking if anyone knew any flamencos in India, or at least that's how I'm remembering it, which might not be quite accurate. I started to search for the thread but gave up (plus I'm not much for necroposting, it's just a silly pet peeve of mine).
I met this fellow in Granada quite some time back, maybe ten years ago. Deepak Verma. Nice guy, very passionate about flamenco. At the time I met him he was heading to Seville to further his studies and we became FB friends in order to stay in touch, which we of course never did. But still, I've been kind of following his posts over the years. They pop up in my feeds now and again.
He seemed to flourish when he'd go to Seville. Lots of posts of him hanging out with this player called El Amir, it seems like they became pretty good friends.
At any rate, he has a small presence online in all the usual social media places. He seems to balance his time between playing gigs in India and going to Seville to study. I can't speak for him, but he'd probably be amenable to being friends with you, maybe he would have some advice about playing flamenco at a professional level in India. Here's a vid of him playing in Seville.
