Guess you might have read last months Time Out which spoke of literary groups in Mumbai. Caferati was one among them. India Today too had an article on the same topic in the Simply Mumbai section. I've just compiled a list from the two. Spoken to a couple of moderators and got a little more details. Thought I would share it, since I've already done some ground work.
