The Wikipedia article on Swades mentions Ravi Kuchimanchi and Aravinda Pillalmarri and cites a page at NRIPulse.com as its source (http://nripulse.com/profile_RaviAravinda.htm). The source I used was different - and that gave credit to Vikram Akula (http://www.rediff.com/money/2008/feb/22inter1.htm). There seems to be no definitive source on this, however. No site which cites Ashutosh Gowarikar / anybody else in-charge of production of the movie directly on this issue. Maybe it was an amalgam of characters... @Dhananjay: Thanks! :) After you pointed out the Swades discrepancy, I searched up about it.

Quite an impressive set. By the way, the character Mohan Bhargav in 'Swades' was inspired from two people named Ravi Kuchimanchi and Aravinda Pillalmarri of an organization named AID.

Plus, the theme which I had to work on - contemporary India - if you follow the news properly then there was nothing which couldn't be cracked. Indian Ocean is an Indian band - and Indian Ocean the water body is the third-largest ocean / water body in the world. And 6bymedia.com IS an actual website. :D @Aditya: Yeah, I thought of making it more difficult, but since it was an inter-DPS quiz, and not an open quiz I thought I should keep it relatively easy.
