[IMPACT]

Will host networks events in Bombay, India once a month. We will have an educational segment, followed by a keynote speaker, followed by networking among attendees with refreshments. There will be incentives for those who wish to attend our networking events. Attendees will be onboarded to Eastern town hall, have them create an ADA wallet, a raffle for those who attend could win payment in ADA and merchandise.

Network events will increase interest in Cardano and onboard new potential project catalyst proposers. These events would bring new minds to invigorate the Cardona community in India.

Issues that may arise would be finding space to host events, security, and finding good keynote speakers. However, due to having an expansive networking connection, we would be able to get around these issues with ease. As for security, we would hire a guard to do checks at the door in order to ensure the safety of our events. For our keynote speakers, we would call upon our connections in order to bring new and relevant information to each event.

[FEASIBILITY]

We will host twelve networking events in the course of a year. This will begin a month after funding is approved. This would be broken down to three networking events in a quarter, alternating between our three main cities. We would measure our deliverables with a ledger that would keep track of the number of attendees throughout the year. As well as, how many people we can onboard onto our project catalyst via account creation. Another measure we would take is how many people per event create a wallet.

Keynote speaker: $500 per event

Venue Rent : $750 per event

Catering : $250 per event

$1500 per event x 12 events = $18000

Total: $18,000

[AUDITABILITY]

-Ledger to keep a measure of attendees

-Number of people we can onboard onto our project catalyst

-How many people create wallets

-Number of interactions on social media websites

-Number of people who view youtube videos

-Number of new proposals coming out of india

Success would be measured by the number of attendees. Our goals for the first few events would be to have over 50 guests with most of them creating project catalyst accounts. Ideally, many future project catalyst proposals will have been submitted by onboarded attendees at these events.

This will be a continuation and expansion of networkings in Ethiopia, Paraguay and Ecuador already in development funded in F5 and F7 by DeFi Discussions LLC
