Hello, for my previous trips to India I've obtained a 2 year business visa. For my next trip I'd like to try to use an e-Visa. As far as I can tell these examples* are acceptable reasons to enter on an e-Visa for 'casual business' purposes:

• Work related to projects of national importance, including those undertaken by public sector undertakings, and conducting business tours of foreigners or business relating to it;
• Establishing an industrial/business venture, or exploring possibilities to set up an industrial/business venture in India;
• Purchasing/selling industrial products or commercial products or consumer durables in India;
• Technical meetings/discussions, attending Board meetings, and conducting general meetings for providing business services support;
• Recruiting manpower;
• Consultations regarding exhibitions, and participating in exhibitions, trade fairs, business fairs;
• Experts/specialists visiting for short durations in connection with an ongoing project with the objective of monitoring the progress of the work, conducting meetings with Indian customers and/or providing some high level technical guidance;
• Pre-sales or post-sales activity not amounting to actual execution of any contract or project;
• Trainees of multinational companies/corporate houses coming for in-house training in the regional hubs of concerned companies located in India; or
• AIESEC student internships on project based work in companies/industries.

I have highlighted the categories where I mostly fit in bold.

We have ongoing contracts with developers in India and I am going out to hold meetings and discuss our ongoing work and discuss new work with them.

Does anyone have any experience doing something similar and is the general consensus that I should be able to use an e-Visa or not?

Thanks in advance.
