Weekend: October first week 2019
Have you been to the Marina beach? What am I asking, of course you have!
Happened to see an old bald man there who can't walk without his walking stick?
Mahatma Gandhi taught the world a lot of things, unfortunately, the thing which our people have learnt from him is to do nothing and expect everything to be done for them.
Happy Birthday old man!
We're not the DIY community, we're the Do It For Me community!
This is something that Dharmesh said in his talk at Chargebee and boy oh boy, I couldn't agree more.
We'd rather have someone else do our work for us while we do nothing right?
Do you have a product or a process that can do this? You are the next millionaire, my friend.
Maybe you have an excellent idea, need people just as passionate as you? Don't know how to get your product to the market? Here are the places you should be this weekend to meet other like-minded people who are waiting just to meet you!
Hey, before that, here's another really nice thought by Nitu Bhojwani. Here's something we can all do as a small tribute and honor to the old man.
Let's follow non-violence here in the digital world. Nitu beautifully talks about this in her post. We can't go sit in the middle of the road and protest in satyagraha for water (we're not getting it either way) but we can at least do this.
Oh well, that's that. Back to your killer idea. Let's go find your tribe this weekend.
We don't have too many events clashing this weekend. It's a, what do you call it, a mellow week for us hustlers.
Thursday - 3rd October 2019
07:00 PM - 09:00 PM - Digital Strategies to boost your business
Just like how Edward Hunter said at his talk at the Built2Scale event by Linkedin in Chennai, every business has to keep evolving and capitalize on the next wave. If you haven't started leveraging the power of digital then you're already too late.
Fret not, Makers Tribe is going to show you how your business can reach a wider audience with you just sitting in one place.
