Another common Indian word is prepone, the opposite of postpone.

I have never come across the "where" example.

The article misses out on many common usages, and cites some rather unremarkable ones.

If postpone is to delay until later, and prepone is to bring forwards, can one peripone something (for it to be happening now)?

I wanted an opposite of "procrastinate", but it's not obvious because of etypmologies.

The best I could devise is "progesternate" (via "gestern").

I agree. The articles misses some really good ones, - prepone, max-to-max (ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा), scanner (for payment QR-codes)
