Why I think this is important!
For a moment after my call, I almost couldn't believe that the second accelerator program is happening at a conference hall of one the most famous names in the world of engineering! As a motoring and mechanical engineering fan it was my dream to visit the Bosch facility someday, and now I will be presenting to an audience there!
Indian user-base as I see it has tremendous potential to add value to the network. If the foundation is created with care, attention and focus, I think it could snowball into something very valuable in the long run for Steemit, Steem blockchain and this community that we are all collectively trying to build and sustain together!
A ripple effect of a tremendous growth in Steemit user base from India is that the whole cryptocurrency space and the ecosystem to support it in my country is likely to develop faster! A win-win situation for all!
**I hope my efforts to create a buzz around Steemit in India will someday generate interest amongst institutional investors who may potentially invest into the Steem cryptocurrency and/or build new applications on the Steem blockchain in addition to thousands of users joining this platform. I also welcome your support and encouragement towards this initiative. **
Steem blockchain can empower India and the world! My journey on Steemit is proof of the existence of that very possibility!
Donation to TRF!
I've also donated $240.340 SBD towards @steemfest's @t-r-f account to help increase the pool available to those who really need a little extra help in travelling to our global conference event at Lisbon, Portugal.
Stay tuned to my blogs for contests in the near future where you can possibly win couple of SteemFest tickets.
Way Forward
During my discussion it was indicated that VP level personnel from Bosch and Deutsche Bank may attend the event if they are free on the day. It would be great if they come, but most importantly, this location might serve as a catalyst that could potentially lead to greater things for Steemit in India.
I think I have a good network here, and my connections continue to grow steadily and I have to thank a dear friend for this incredible connection to Bosch.
It is my dream to take this forward to Pune, Delhi (owing to the increasing demand) and other cities with a small team to assist me and so on from there. Hopefully I can manage the budget somehow for those events, but we'll have to see how it goes on from here.
Who knows, what the future holds but for now I will get this done first!
I want to thank my dear friend @sjennon (also part of Firepower Crew) who made the incredible banner design for the India Steemit Accelerator. I think it looks amazing. I'm so proud of her ability to do this. She's a great gal and you must follow her blogs!
