Dear Anil,
What you are doing is laudable. I had been to Kyoto, when I went to present a paper in Yokohoma for an international conference. In Kyoto, a professor from Ryukuku University had such a scheme. A few friends in the field of Operations and Quality Management used to meet monthly in a restaurant/pub and discuss recent issues in their field. I attended one such and had given a brief presentation there.
Rather than expect some senior members to start, I suggest that a person that is interested, and has some time, take the initiative and post a message or ring friends and see what support (s)he gets. Unless there are people pursuing PhDs who are interested in sharing their experiences, it will not work.
