The Proto Team in Delhi: This Saturday

Proto has been discussed in this forum in various forms, and titles, and I have always enjoyed hearing the feedback that this community has to offer - as this community very much forms the crux and the core of the ecosystem that we are aiming to build. Here’s perhaps a chance to have that same conversation face to face.

We are planning to be in Delhi this saturday to meet with folks, mostly the startups that we are targetting to leverage, but also people who are thinking about embarking on a venture but have and are hesistating for various reasons. If we can understand the fear of most - atleast the rational ones - we can certainly look at building together a mesh that helps to overcome that part, so that we can go on to conquer new heights.

There are a couple of reasons why we are travelling: One of them is very much so that other people can also contribute and be part of this effort. Secondly, there is too much rumors flying out that Proto is a chennai-based effort, when it simply isnt - We are talking about a pan-asian initiative and it simply cant be held back by state boundaries. And following on those lines, we are also looking for a spot where we could have one of our sucessive events (For now bangalore and Delhi are the contenders). On that aspect, it would be crucial for us to meet with all the folks from different places. And last and not the least, we’ve always enjoyed the support of the folks from Delhi, especially those who have been involved as part of the organization, and it only makes sense that we make an effort to meet them in their city.

Do leave a comment if you are interested in catching up, and we’ll co-ordinate on that accordingly. It would be good to meet and put a face to all the names on the list as well.

Update: There is a wiki setup, for people who are interested in the meet. Do add your name to the list, so that we can plan accordingly.

    a suggestion– why dont you also, just specify a venue; where you’d hang out for 3-4 hours— and apart from the confirmed ones; I’m sure many would just rush in to say hi; and see what you folks are up to ?

    Ansal Plaza near South-ex is one good place; with a lot of open air space– including a open air auditorium with steps where even 100-200 people can sit down.

    where we can all just catch up ? you can even have a informal panel discussion to see what different folks are interested in - what say ?

    Prashant,

    Can you add your name in the wiki? Thanks.

    Nalin,

    I am not sure in any case 100 - 200 people would turn up :) And from what I can see we probably wont have the luxury of 3 - 4 hours, but about two hours should be quite possible.

    How far is this Plaza from the Airport?

    Hi Vijay

    Would love to be a part of this meet. Could you tell us what all is planned for the few hours we’ll be meeting, if there’s anything specific thats there.

    Also, the wiki has a section for startups who’ll be the Key Focus . Wat abt the other guys (like me) who wouldn’t want to be the key focus but would still like to contribute as much :) ?

    Plaza is about 45 minutes from the Airport i think, depending on traffic conditions.

    Hope to meet you soon.

    Cheers
